I've been playing in Karmic's campaigns for almost a year and a half now. Having hit the rough halfway mark in our longest running, game I can safely say that my time at Karmic's table has been some of the most fun, most satisfying and most engaging time I've spent playing RPGs. I'm thrilled to have had the chance to introduce a friend to this hobby through Karmic's games too. He's a spectacularly creative storyteller who does a great job at both allowing players and characters to shine while making the stories feel grounded and the players' decisions feel weighty and important. He has a real knack for responding to the unexpected or unconventional, something I really admire about his approach - if you can come up with some wild idea, and you can find a way to make it happen, Karmic will account for it and the world will respond accordingly in a way that feels believable and interesting. Coming in as a total newbie to both of the systems he introduced us to, I found his approach for explaining the rules and letting us learn as we go very approachable, comfortable and straightforward. That degree of approachability has allowed me to learn two new systems - one I've wanted to try but never got to, another I had never heard of, and I've grown really fond of both and I owe a lot of that to his guidance. There's something in his games for newbies and vets alike, and there's always something novel and exciting to be found or to be done in his sessions. I can't recommend him highly enough. 100% a Five Star GM!

Great storyteller and accommodating as a GM, super friendly and patient with new players. I appreciate that Itoh really advocates for his players and for his characters and wants to see them succeed - his approach to GMing is very collaborative and it's a refreshing way to play that keeps me excited to come back week after week!
