Fatebinder is one of the most incredible DMs I've ever had the opportunity to play with. Though not the most merciful or accommodating, everything they do is in service of crafting the most satisfying narrative possible for the table, you, and your character. Fatebinder excels at this. More than any other DM I have ever played with they understand the weight of a player character and the way they grow into a story. Trust them with your character, give them the threads of their personality and backstory and they will weave those threads into the rope they will use to hang them - and into the garotte you use to strangle the villain right back. I have come to them with character concepts that, in any other game, I would expect to be at most occasionally mentioned and at best existing only in my head, and not only did they work them into the whole story, they built custom homebrew for them to work. I have played in multiple of their games spanning about a year, and in that time I have grown to love my characters, the other players' and the world to the point I think about them every day. I hope you will as well.

I played through Call of the Netherdeep with Nate, and am happy to say the experience was phenomenal. Nate is one of the best DMs I've ever had the privilege of playing with. He is experienced with tabletop games and has a broad experience that enriches his storytelling style and table experience. He knows how to handle groups of disparate backgrounds, levels of ttrpg experience, and playstyles without clashing. Nate is imaginative and happy to work with you to weave the story you want. When I join a game, I tend to make characters I think fit the game's themes, give them a broad-lines backstory, and leave enough holes and frayed threads to give the DM ammunition to weave them into the story. Nate picked up on them immediately, and wove them, throughout the campaign, into a coherent, rewarding and engaging story that I earnestly loved. You may need to tell him to be less nice sometimes though, but that's hardly a flaw.

Mashby is an incredible GM who made me feel welcome from the start of our very first conversations through all of the games I played with them. From moments outside of the game, chatting in DMs about my character to all of the roleplay and cool moments inside the game, they make me feel like we all share in our excitement for the game, the story and the characters. They know very well how to balance joy, humor, brightness and danger, trauma and darkness, when to sprinkle in little bits of one here and there and spice up the game. They are attentive, considerate, imaginative, and a joy to play with.

Mabrouk is an amazing GM and a delight to play with. They are kind and warm and will make you feel welcome. They really work to make your character feel part of the world, cool and competent, and yet have the moments of vulnerability that will allow their true personality and heroism to come out.
