From the very beginning, Preston set the tone with his rich storytelling. The Victorian twist he added to the classic Curse of Strahd module breathed new life into the campaign, making it feel both familiar and refreshingly unique, including for a few of our party who had played the module before. Think Crimson Peak vibes meets Bram Stoker's Dracula. His attention to detail in crafting the world was impeccable – from the fog-shrouded streets of Barovia to the eerie, candlelit interiors of Ravenloft, every scene was immersive. I really appreciated Preston's dedication to player agency. He encouraged us to think creatively and rewarded our ingenuity, which made us feel truly integral to the story. His flexibility and quick thinking in response to our... unexpected decisions showcased his deep understanding of the game and his commitment to ensuring we all had a fantastic time. Our characters felt meaningful and critical to the success of the game. Preston's combat encounters were thrilling and challenging, always perfectly tuned to test our skills. We definitely plunged headfirst into certain encounters we had no right to be in, and even failures in such endeavors resulted in character growth and an emotional attachment to the game. He had a knack for creating tension and excitement, making every battle feel significant. Moreover, his use of ambiance, music, and props added an extra layer of engagement that made each session feel totally immersive. It was evident that Preston cared deeply about the game and our enjoyment. He fostered a collaborative and inclusive environment where every player felt valued and heard. His genuine excitement was infectious and kept our group eagerly anticipating each session. If you ever have the chance to join one of his games, do not hesitate – it will be an experience you won't want to miss.
