Played one-shot with two other players, one new and one experienced. DM Darren did a great job helping all play productively together and still keep the story line going. I really liked the tabletop map (which we can see on Discord stream; Darren draws it as party advances) and I liked being able to use paper character sheet and physical dice (no cheating problems I could see!). As an American it took a few minutes to get used to his British accent and speech patterns, then it was delightful, and I wouldn't change anything about the session. Really enjoyed it and would go out of my way to look for Darren's games in future!

Played Havarti Cheese Heist one-shot [characters = pre-generated special ops mice :D ] with D&D5e rules - amazing creative fun, DM Andy made sure all players had a great time and judging by smiles was very successful. Great descriptions, die rolls matter but rule of cool prevailed and he did a great job deciding on results of some really complicated offbeat things our party came up with. A nice break from grim gothic storylines, run with flair. I will look for games from this DM again.

I am very much enjoying Kevin as a GM (3 games so far; I waited to post a review until I knew my positive first impression would last). He is extremely well organized with useful player-oriented resources on Roll20 and Discord, arranged in a way to make them usable even by those lacking full fluency with those platforms, enough for full fun but curated so there is not a paralyzing degree of excess choice. He communicates promptly regarding game parameters and questions, providing full-yet-succinct targeted information, the info you need when you need it. He is also laid-back in demeanor, following and sometimes building on the humor of the party (we have several who like goofy role-play) yet adeptly keeps the story moving forward without stepping on anyone's reasonable fun. I haven't laughed so much in months as I did in this campaign's 1st 3 games, which is just what I was looking for. Kevin also tells an entertaining creative story in a self-crafted world, does voices, knows rules, helps beginners if needed etc., but I assume all paid GMs can do those things so it's really his welcoming demeanor and focus on player experience that makes me want to post this review and encourage others to experience his games if you're lucky enough to find an open spot!
