Julia is a wonderful Gamemaster and is one of the most professional I have had the pleasure of playing in a campaign for. She's not only an insanely capable storyteller and gifted creative mind, but cares about the fun of all at the table and inclusive of everyone. She knows the rules to the systems we play, and will swiftly figure it out if not to make a decision. Her inclusion of puzzles and encounters help make her sessions unique and I often leave the session wishing we had hours left to play. Overall, Julia is one of the best game masters you could wish for.

The Sinister Storyteller (Charles Ulveling)

There are a lot of things that make a good GM. A sense of humor, a creative and inventive imagination, a grasp on the rules, a passion for storytelling, and an understanding of others. Charles possesses all of this and more. My perception of what a good GM should be has been changed in just a few sessions. Each session is a blast, and everyone is laughing the whole time, with the hours flying by. As a new player, it couldn't have been easier learning the rules to Pathfinder and having such a good time doing it. There's also something about Charles himself that you can tell he truly wants his players to have fun and feel like they matter, a quality few I've seen have. He has a broad sense of humor and willingness to play along to even the silliest of things. The most important quality for me however is how friendly Charles is. At no point have I felt excluded or that the teasing was personal. It just feels like a bunch of friends hanging out online and playing a game. Tl/Dr If you are interested in trying Pathfinder or any other game in his repertoire, do yourself a favor and book Charles.

There are so many things that could be said about Chris as a Dm, but let me start by saying that Chris is just a good person all around. It's clear each session that he has put time and thought into each an every encounter. His grasp on the rules is phenomenal, but he's willing to let players be themselves and make epic moments come to life. When playing in his games, I feel safe, Welcome, and encouraged. He never let's a player just sit there with nothing to do, always asking what the character thinks and wants to do. The experience he has is apparent throughout the entire session. A lot of dms try to do what Chris does, but I've found very few that succeed on such a high level. Each week I come back more excited than the last. As a dm, he follows the mindset of being a fan of the characters, allowing each one to shine and have a moment. He's very open to player ideas and goes with the flow to keep everyone engaged in a meaningful way. He's always got maps and charts and other ways to really make you feel like you're part of the world and not just sitting at a computer. I could go on and on, but the last thing I will say is that new players would greatly benefit from playing in Chris's games. 10/10

There's so much that can be said about Ellis as a dm. He's quick witted, creative, knowledgeable, inclusive, and the list goes on. I've been in several of his games now, and sessions with him always excite me and leave me fulfilled while keeping me looking forward to the next. It's clear he's experienced and knows how to handle the non-stop shenanigans that ensue in these games. It's a joy to find a dm who cares about the characters and players the way Ellis does. I find myself signing up for more and more of his games because for each one I already know that my time and money will be well spent without a doubt. He's also just a good person that will show kindness to all in his games, is inclusive and accepting. If I could book a permanent dm, it would be Ellis, but I also know that's selfish because I think everyone out there looking for a good Dm should get a chance at the honor of being in his groups. I would recommend him to anyone regardless of experience as you would have no better introduction into the world of D&D than him.

It's clear by the sheer amount of effort that's been put into the maps and plethora of npcs in the Harry Potter game I'm in that Alexander is a dedicated Dm. This is only amplified more by brilliant voice acting and physical expression (on camera) that he shows. He's very good at working with players and providing a safe and inclusive table. Several times he's added things that make sense narratively even if it's not a rule, that makes roleplay your character rewarding. He allows everyone in the group a chance to shine, and even when we fail, we have fun with it. I absolutely would recommend him as a DM. He's in my top 5 I've ever had and top 3 I've found on Startplaying. You will not regret a chance to play in his groups.
