Jim Patterson

As someone who played at one of James's virtual tables for roughly a year of weekly sessions. I can strongly recommend James as a GM. In my experience, he runs a serious yet engaging and relaxed game, is highly welcoming to new players (I was new to the system he ran for my group), and is very receptive to player input and creativity, even going so far as to accommodate and support "side quests" that obviously deviate from what he had planned for a session. James himself is highly personable, patient, and prepared. His NPCs are three-dimensional, lively, memorable, and impactful. He's also good at balancing time among players/characters and prompting quieter players (like me oftentimes) to participate. I think he also ended up canceling one session, maybe two, over the entire year, so he's rock-solid reliable.
