I have had the opportunity to play Vaesen, Dungeons and Dragons, and The One Ring with Phil as the DM. I enjoyed all three of them! Since I am a relatively new player, I really appreciate his patience. He's always willing to help me develop characters and explain game rules. With respect to Vaesen, I thought Phil did an amazing job of creating an eerie atmosphere during the game. The setting was a small village on a freezing cold night; we were trying to avoid an unknown creature that was lurking in the dark and mauling our neighbors. I got so into the game that I genuinely felt concern for our party! The atmosphere has been a little different when I've played Dungeons and Dragons with Phil. I still get really into the game, but it feels more lighthearted to me. Phil is a master at working references to pop culture (especially from the 80's) and puns into the background of his story in a way that makes his players laugh. As an elementary school teacher, I know that you sometimes have to work pretty hard to make connections between kids. I think it can be the same with adults. Phil does a great job of introducing his players to each other, encouraging us to interact, and setting up a fun atmosphere!
