Stickley

For our group Cake is a chill and patient DM who explains things well and would be good for beginners! He is fun to RP with and his rulings are geared to make sure things are fun instead of punishing or tedious.

Gerik keeps the energy up and is very helpful in explaining the rules and how to use Foundry. The assistant DM Bren makes INCREDIBLE maps, in our case including a home base customized to our characters! Gerik is also willing to put extra effort into including your character backstory into the campaign. Overall he puts a lot of energy and effort into making sure the game is fun and runs smoothly.

Queen Mother's introductory one-shots would be really good for any beginner! She preemptively explained rules like making an Impression when they were relevant. The story was also really fun and allowed for multiple different endings based on character choices (really, I never would have expected our session to end like it did but it was amazing).

Damon ran a very fun story over 4 sessions. He is very engaging with RP and his NPCs have fun voices and personalities. The plot was a satisfying mystery that included some great twists. Damon also is very good at creating meaningful character moments for each character/player. All the visuals and the combat were run and handled smoothly in roll20. I'd love to play at his table again!

Lillo was very organized and good at teaching beginners about the rules as well as how to use Foundry. He was good at explaining our options clearly and at keeping the game moving forward. He also had really good voices/mannerisms for the NPCs.
