Played 24 sessions of "Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus." Zojak is an excellent GM if you're looking for someone eager to insert your creative ideas into the game. Not just background/origin ideas, but general in-game craziness if you're willing to try. The mood of his games are very lax, and it's more like hanging out with a group of friends for some shenanigans than sitting down for a serious thriller drama. Combat leans towards the more difficult side because of the wonky nature of his homebrew critical hit severity table, but he's very willing to provide you additional power if you can provide a reason to obtain it. Additionally, you will just have LOTS of resources if you keep track of loot, so if you enjoy building around magical items (across all books), they will be available at the appropriate tiers. Just be aware that Zojak has a somewhat heavy Spanish accent, which only becomes difficult if he's reading descriptions from the module. But he is aware of this and will clarify if you ask. This goes both ways, so you may need to clarify and repeat yourself if his response doesn't acknowledge what you said.

Lio is an excellent GM for players who love to incorporate their backstory and creativity into the game. He is very receptive to shaping the characters' growth in collaboration with the players, may it be their personal arc, obtaining unique abilities, or raising the stakes of the story to create tension and motivation. Additionally, his storytelling style is a blend of casual storytelling and engaging encounters. It is understood that everyone is there to have a good time and create a fun narrative together, but he'll still throw curveball encounters to meet the thrill of optimized characters.

Eiko is incredibly receptive to the players' goals, needs, and asks, and she has an excellent variety of tools at her disposal for an amazing experience: voices, unique items, FoundryVTT, music, storytelling, and a large history behind her homebrew world. She will be your characters' biggest fan and make them feel amazing while still giving the party an appropriate challenge. Eiko is also very beginner-friendly and will take the time to make your experience as streamline as possible. Truly, an all-in-one type of DM as long as you are willing to communicate it.
