Joe

Ian and I learned to play together and I've had the pleasure of joining him on at least half a dozen campaigns. He has an encyclopedic understanding of the RAW, and the finesse to bend them when best story demands it. He has a real penchant for interweaving the player characters' stories into the core narrative and encouraging the players to feel a sense of ownership and engagement. Couldn't think of a more patient GM for new players, but I'm sure he's raring to sink his teeth into some high level hijinks.
