I'm really happy to have picked Simon as a GM via StartPlaying and would do so again without a second thought. He knows the adventure path we are playing inside out along with great knowledge of the wider world lore allowing external information to be woven in seamlessly if the need arises. The NPC characters all feel and sound unique with personalities and appropriate knowledge going well beyond what I imagine is provided in the source material. His understanding of the system rules, nuances and being able to clearly communicate how they apply to our players abilities and situations in game has been brilliant for me as a near beginner and for the more experienced players exploring new abilities. I also appreciate the ability to handle my hesitancy or forgetfulness rule wise without making me feel like an idiot. The VTT side had been flawless with any player issues resolved quickly along with being happy to research and implement plugins or changes to assist players experiences should they be needed. As well as all of the above he's also easy going and is happy to teach, learn and laugh along with the players. Playing with Simon will set the bar high for other GMs you have in the future, take that as a positive or a negative as you will :)
