Brian has a solid grasp of the fairly new Cosmere system and provides a world of interesting characters to interact with, and gives the players the freedom to be creative in those interactions. Has a good sense of pacing and structuring an adventure. Thinks through novel situations and plans in order to provide meaningful responses. Has a very upbeat personality that comes through well in his voice.

First session with this DM went well. Excellent pre-session interactions and a fun and challenging first encounter in the action-movie style (with an investigative build-up to find out who to take out). Worked well with the newer players and gave everyone a chance to get the group dynamics going in preparation for a campaign.

Devon really enjoys creativity, both personal and, more importantly, from the players, yet in a measured way. The encounters are run to make the result rewarding for the players overcoming what it put in front of them - rules are guidelines but still meant to encourage creativity and difficulty. No forcing the action either, the party gets to work out the right level of role-playing for them and are encouraged to find creative ways to express themselves through their abilities without necessarily impact the actual encounters they may later face.
