Joel is... the man. The fact that he has so few reviews after DMing so many games is a travesty. His incredibly friendly demeanor, inviting presence, and patience with players that have less experience is a breath of fresh air. His method of storytelling is so immersing, and the freedom he grants his players, both to go a little off the rails as well as lean into each characters personality, quirks, or obsessions, is incredible, and the payoff as a player is huge. The presentation and maps and designs of his work on roll20 are equally impressive, and integration of multiple other tools makes it even more exciting and engaging. 10/10 would (and will) play again. Edit: just finished up our final free session of the trial period as we made our way put of Death House. Having read the module suffice to say I was absolutely blown away. Joel has completely rewritten, altered, and expanded it to be so much more than a spooky setting with some traps along the way. I don't know what awaits us in Barovia moving forward, but I can assure you it will be unlike any other journey you've had. If there's ever been a more urgent "shut up and take my money!" moment than this, I can't fathom it. Two weeks until the next session and I'm already biting my nails and eager to dive back in. Do yourself a favor and book a game!
