Marshall, once a champion of chaos (seriously, ask him about the badger and Wishmaster Grod), has made the leap from player to GM with the grace of a bard twerking to distract lizard men mid-combat. Over the past 1.75 years, I’ve logged countless hours (3–6 per week, for you math wizards) in the chaotic-good world of Marshall’s creativity. Both as a player and recently an GM. Let me tell you: the man knows how to run a game. His maps are pristine, his music is perfectly timed, and his storytelling? Chef’s kiss. If a tavern burned down every time he dropped a plot twist, the fantasy real estate market would be in crisis. He’s got the rare combo of being ultra-organized while still encouraging goblin-level nonsense from his players. One minute you’re navigating complex moral choices, the next you’re surviving a blind knife fight to win a enchanted goat. And it all makes sense in Marshall’s world. If you get a chance to join one of his games, do it. Just pack snacks, respect the map, and never, ever underestimate the badger.

Schmitty is a really good DM. He GETS you excited to play your character. He is open to all input as the process goes on. He will even take you 1 on 1 into a separate channel to HELP you flesh out your backstory. His sessions Zero was the best one I've had so far. It was organized and when he gets excited about your character it is impossible not to get more excited about your character. He encourages backstories to be as long as you want. He also set the rules early on what he expects his players to bring to the table. We had a large range of experience in our group and he broke it down for everyone. He also wants you to know the lore and get into character. He will give everyone their time to shine. I would Definity recommend him as a DM

This campaign hasn’t started just yet but they are currently looking for 5-7 more players for a west Marches style campaign. They are taking suggestions for how it will be run and it has been wonderful to tell them what I’m looking for as 3 separate DM’s build the world. I’m so excited for this to get going. As the DM’s wrap up the campaigns they are currently running. If you’re looking for DM’s that listen and will consider your ideas this is the place to be. If you’re also looking for a much gritter game this is THE campaign for you! I’m so excited I can’t hardly wait for us to get rolling.

Manny is an outstanding GM, the kind who could take a random dice roll and turn it into a Shakespearean tragedy—or a comedy, depending on the group’s mood (or poor life choices). Over the past two years, I’ve had the absolute joy of playing in a campaign under his masterful storytelling, and now that it’s over, I feel like I’ve lost a dear friend. Not because I won’t get to play with him again, but because this campaign was my weekly dose of adventure, chaos, and emotionally devastating plot twists. What makes Manny so great? Let me count the ways: 1. Narration Magic – Whether you land a critical hit or miss so badly you nearly take out your own party, Manny describes it in vivid detail. Every moment feels cinematic—like a novel you don’t want to put down (but one where you’re also responsible for a lot of questionable decisions). 2. NPC Sorcery – He conjures up NPCs out of thin air, complete with personalities, voices, and tragic backstories we probably weren’t supposed to ask about but did anyway. 3. The Soundtrack of Our Lives (and Deaths) – His use of music and sound effects makes dungeon delving feel like we’re in a blockbuster movie—right up until we trip over our own plans and set off all the traps. 4. The “Yes, And” Master – If you have a crazy idea that isn’t on your character sheet, he’ll roll with it. Which is how we ended up with a bard who once talked a dragon into an existential crisis. 5. Challenge Accepted – He doesn’t just test your character’s stats—he challenges you as a player and as a team. Every session felt like a thrilling mix of strategy, storytelling, and sheer survival instincts. Manny has only gotten better as a GM, and I can’t wait for the next adventure. Just, you know… maybe with slightly fewer emotionally devastating plot twists next time. (Who am I kidding? Bring it on.)

Jim was super friendly and met both my brother and I on discord. Sounds like he runs a great campaign and really enjoys working with beginners. My brother is legally blind and Jim mentioned he would even go further on describing environments and encounters so my brother wouldn’t miss out at all. That is beyond kind. I would definitely recommend Jim.
