Cloud is an absolute pleasure to play with. He does a good job of keeping things moving along, giving player's agency, and does an excellent job of keeping things balanced and fair. He tries to give all of his NPCs personality, so you don't feel like you're just running into NPC 1 or 2. If you want a game that's just really well balanced and respects your time, Cloud is your DM.
The GM puts a lot of effort into the story and clearly cares about the game. They’re prepared, consistent, and run official content with a strong focus on setting and description. However, the pacing often felt slow. Combat was regularly interrupted by long descriptions for each enemy’s action, and even simple room reveals could stop the flow for several minutes. It made the game drag, especially when most of the details were already visible on the map. Feedback was asked for, but when concerns were raised, the response felt more like a defense than a discussion. Players who enjoy detailed narration and a slower pace might like this style, but it didn’t work for me.
