Charles is able to provide unique twists on familiar settings, spinning a genre's tried and true building blocks into something completely new and encourages his players to do the same with their PCs. And he is extremely clear about this and works with players, new or old, to make them feel like an active part of not just the game but the world it takes place in. That isn't to say he doesn't have tricks up his sleeve, as every game Charles has GM'd for me was seeped in mystery and always makes me excited to sit down at his table.
