Suz is a great narrative storyteller- they made all of us feel included in everything even when other players were in the spotlight. They did a great job of explaining the rules in a way that made sense and also staggering them so that we didn't have 30 mins of infodump at the beginning of the game.

I currently play three games run by Zennsa. He is a master of his craft, weaving intricate narratives that captivate and inspire. His ability to craft vivid, dynamic worlds where every detail feels thoughtfully considered and every NPC has depth and personality turns each session into an epic tale that makes me eagerly anticipate the next session. What sets Zennsa apart is his remarkable ability to balance story and gameplay. He fosters a collaborative and supportive atmosphere, and doesn't fall into the pit of GM vs. player dynamic. Zennsa is incredibly adept at listening to players' ideas and incorporating them into the storyline, making everyone feel valued and involved. Challenges and encounters are always well-balanced, providing excitement without ever feeling unfair (unless you decide you want to zerg rush the boss). Zennsa's creativity in designing puzzles, battles, and plot twists keeps everyone on their toes, ensuring that no two sessions are ever the same. In addition to his storytelling and game-mastering skills, Zennsa is highly organized and reliable. Sessions start on time, and he handles the complexities of Pathfinder's rules with ease, ensuring smooth gameplay that flows seamlessly. My favorite experience so far is using a Wish spell to subvert 3 months of in-game time (we were on a strict time limit to get this task done), to which he said "Damn, I didn't expect that", and let us take our win. He rewards out-of-the-box thinking, which I appreciate!

DM is great at consistently running a good game- has a firm grasp of all the things that need to have tabs kept on, and is a fan of the "rule of cool" which I don't often see in DMs (many will say "nah bro sorry doesn't work that way").
