Yoooooo. I don't even know how to put into words how awesome it is playing in Alex's original Exandria campaign right now. I joined mid-campaign and within 3 sessions I am so completely immersed in the lore and world building Alex has done. It feels utterly Exandrian in spite of being almost entirely original. They have created such a seemless expansion to what our beloved familiar Exandria is that perfectly fits the allure of discovering new hidden history AND creating exciting opportunities for our party to explore shaping the future of Exandria. After back to back history and arcana check nat 20s--I nearly stopped breathing during the lore dump because my mind was completely blown. We're talking full on edge-of-the-seat goose-bumps. We ended at 11pm and I stayed up for another 2 hours almost exclusively thinking about how awesome the session was and how excited I am for what is to come... SO immersive. SO inventive. And Alex is also whip sharp and super funny. They actually have one of my favorite distinct laughs, and if I have correctly sold you on joining one of their games you will immediately know what I mean by that. :)

DJ is awesome and I'm having so much fun in my first campaign! I was super nervous to start and he's been a great educator and extremely encouraging. He's able to weave in quick guidance/support for players whenever they need it without it disrupting the flow/pace of the narrative or combat. He creates a role playing environment that is really encouraging of creativity, exploration, and facilitates communication within the party as well as with NPCs. Each location and NPC encounter have depth and unique points of intrigue that make interactions exciting. The use of Talespire is freakin' awesome if, like me, visual comprehension is a lot more accessible for you than language based comprehension. Having 3-D visualization is super supportive for both the immersive aspect of RP and it's VERY helpful for coordinating with your party as encounters/environments increase in complexity. Aside from all the in-game magic, DJ is an awesome inclusive "space holder". The players drawn to his GMing and the larger community he's creating through other ventures are saturated with people who are supportive (like to build others up), diverse, creative, and who probably have a degree of fun chaos magic built into their human personalities as well. :)
