I just played the most fun game of Mage the Ascension ever. This was done with a half dozen people, for 4 hours, and I not only didn't pull my hair out of frustration, I laughed more at this table than any other this year. Nicholas paced the game well and managed us, we half dozen oddball of players, incredibly well. I never felt rushed, ignored, or interrupted, which is phenomenal for such a table.

One of my top three GMs this year. Queen has a great sense of humor, is a fun collaborator, and is pretty good at doing voices. To be honest, I really needed a great GM running Thirsty Sword Lesbians after several debacles due to GM's acting entirely unprofessional and sometimes with abject cruelty. It's just great to have someone that is kind and makes a charming world to play in.

Yesterday, I played what I hope was my first session with Chelsea and I hope to be in many more. With three distinct players, PCs, and agendas Chelsea crafted a complete story arch for us all, and did most or all of it on the fly. Introducing a new character into an established setting is very difficult, but Chelsea did so masterfully.

Great group chemistry, and fantastic narrative guidance through a mystery. I never felt like I was floundering or being told how to feel or react. I greatly appreciate being given room for self expression and not have my actions and behaviors dictated at me.

Awesome seminar! It has been so hard to figure out how to present myself as a professional gamemaster through my listings and my profile. Ace's advice has made me excited to get my first game off the ground. I am definitely implementing her advice immediately.
