Scruffy

I've been lucky to have Dean as the GM of multiple games for the past 3 years, and every single session has been a blast! He's absolutely fantastic at bringing together unique and rich plotlines and NPCs to create incredible worlds and stories for your characters to explore. He's great a balancing tones, building up both genuine intense moments as well as hilarious ones, with a real gift for improv. And gameplay is always fresh and exciting, mixing in multiple kinds of encounters and dungeons, even seamlessly weaving in mechanics from other RPGs like Blades in the Dark for certain occasions. Combat is satisfyingly challenging, but fair, and always moves at a good pace thanks to his excellent understanding of the rules. And fights become easy to follow and extra engaging with incredible maps as well as perfectly paired music to go with them. Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned veteran, I can't recommend him enough!
