I have been playing games under Tom for about a year and a half now, weekly sessions, over 2.5 campaigns. I cannot recommend him highly enough for players looking for fast paced, crunchy Pathfinder action. He is very knowledgeable and patient, rendering him a prime choice for newer players coming to terms with Pathfinders many systems. For more experienced players who like to play hard, Thomas is a skilled tactician who can provide a meaningful and engaging challenge, matching the groups difficulty curve to ensure an optimal play experience based on the needs of the party. He has a high level of technical skill, and hosts a very advanced Foundry setup with lots of automation and shiny bits that help smooth and expedite game-play and lean into the strong suits of online TTRPG gaming. If technical problems arise, he is well equipped to handle them. As a leader, he is fair and thoughtful. He resolves disagreements rationally and professionally. He is never rude nor short, and approaches every situation with an assumption of good faith. He plays the Pathfinder rule system very close to RAW to provides a balanced and fair experience to align with player expectations. He nearly never makes a ruling that isn't supported by the text of the rules themselves, and if a player does not understand or disagrees with his interpretation, he is always willing to talk about it and explain his thought process, or even have his perspective changed. Tom is also very inclusive, and goes through great pains to ensure everyone is respected, represented and has their spotlight in the session. He has a zero tolerance policy for bullying or bigotry of any sort, and will not allow a player to transgress on the adjacency of another. He maintains a tight schedule and brisk game pace. Sessions start and end on time, ensuring the players are always able to play the rest of their days around the game. He is very adapt at maintaining pacing, and if a session begins to meander or players seem lost he will provide the needed nudge to keep things going and ensure players get their moneys worth in session time. Further, combat moves quickly and does not stagnate, as Tom is very skilled at running monster and NPCs (even in large numbers!) and always on-hand to assist players with any questions or complications they may encounter when taking their own turns. I am the Forever GM for my own group, and I go to Tom to get my turn on the other side of the screen. I am yet to be disappointed.
