Andy was my Keeper for The Game Theatre's in-person Cthulhu in a Castle event and ran a 2-day Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign. It must have been difficult to compress an entire campaign into two 12-hour days, but Andy did it perfectly. I appreciated his ability to masterfully create an engaging, immersive story using a variety of amazing, fun character voices (including German and French accents) and setting the atmosphere using Soundscape. He even had legitimate, tangible props rented from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society (complete with period-accurate maps, newspaper clippings, and photographs), which added another immersive layer to the game. Also, each player was given a passport for their character and received stamps for each country we visited in the campaign, which was a meaningful and thoughtful touch. Every action in the campaign had a reasonable consequence, making the gameplay feel natural and (sometimes) rewarding and dreadful. One quality I like about Andy is his assistance and input in character creation and his openness to player ideas. He seamlessly weaved player suggestions and input into the narrative, making us all feel like true collaborators in the unfolding mystery's storytelling. This level of collaboration added a dynamic layer to the experience where we weren't just "playing a game." Most of all, he prioritized player comfort and safety while maintaining historical accuracy of the 1920s and Lovecraftian horror. The story had a clear beginning, allowing us to pursue many objectives we would like to achieve in the middle of the campaign, leading to a satisfying, applause-worthy conclusion. This will definitely be one of the most memorable and fun campaigns I've ever played in TTRPGs.

I've been participating in Aglovale's Dresden Files campaign using the FATE system. Playing with this GM has been an absolute delight! He has a talent for creating engaging stories that place players right into the world he's built. Every session feels alive where player choices do matter, and every action has sensible, story-driven consequences that make the game feel immersive and rewarding. I enjoy his ability to incorporate player ideas into the narrative. He listens, adapts, and ensures that every character's story arc has room to shine. He is also patient and incredibly supportive, especially for new players and those who are unfamiliar with the FATE system, like myself. He takes the time to explain mechanics clearly and makes sure everyone feels comfortable and included, no matter the experience level. If you are looking for a GM who is imaginative, fun, and invested in a creating shared storytelling experience, I totally recommend him. Every session is full of laughs, suspense, and memorable moments.

Call of Cthulhu player here. GM Demon has a great ability to design an engaging, immersive story within a world that is not only horrifying, but intricate and brimming with opportunities to interact with the story and characters in meaningful ways. Every choice and action (or inaction) have reasonable consequences that are organic and deeply rewarding (or terrible). One of GM Demon's standout qualities is his openness to player ideas and input. I developed a major plot hook for my character several sessions into the game and GM Demon seamlessly weaved my suggestion into the narrative making me feel like a co-creator in the unfolding mystery. This level of collaborative storytelling, not only with GM Demon but with other players, adds a dynamic layer to the experience that elevates it beyond "just playing a regular old RPG." GM Demon provides a patient and supportive environment, especially for new players to Call of Cthulhu like myself, ensuring that I can dive right into the game even without knowing all of the intricacies. He guides players without being overbearing and encourages learning through fun and exploration. If you are a seasoned investigator or a newcomer to the Mythos, GM Demon offers a game complete with thrilling investigations, clever twists, and plenty of laughs (as well as horror). Highly recommended!

I have had the absolute pleasure of participating in a campaign with Rob, and I simply cannot recommend him enough! If you're in search of an unforgettable D&D experience, this is it. First and foremost, his storytelling abilities are unparalleled. From the moment we stepped into the campaign, it was clear that we were in for an epic adventure. Rob's creativity has no limits, and he weaves together intricate plots, engaging NPCs, and immersive settings. It's impossible not to get lost in the rich tapestry of his storytelling. What sets Rob apart from other DMs is his commitment to creating a space where players can truly engage with the world he built. Every choice I made felt meaningful, and actions had real consequences. This level of player agency is a testament to Rob's dedication to crafting an interactive and dynamic narrative. He makes you feel like your character's story is an integral part of the overall plot. Moreover, Rob is extremely supportive of new players. He has an incredible ability to make newcomers feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to delve into D&D. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or brand new to the realm of fantasy tabletop gaming, Rob goes above and beyond to ensure everyone at the table has a great time. Rob also has incredible patience. As a new player he never rushed, never belittled, and always took the time to explaining the rules, mechanics, and the Fantasy Grounds platform to me. He is excellent at guiding players who are still learning the ropes. It's clear that he genuinely cares about fostering a positive and inclusive gaming environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Rob to anyone who is searching for an exhilarating, immersive, and welcoming D&D experience.
