Mopsey

Alex is very much the storyteller as a GM - I've played in a couple of games he's run and both were original plots in historical settings, complete with era-appropriate music and NPC cameos of real figures, though his original NPCs tend to be more fun to interact with. You can tell he has a number of threads up his sleeve, but not necessarily where those threads will lead. When we've used a system I'm less familiar or comfortable with he's always very patient with explaining mechanics as often as needed. Similarly, he's unfailingly kind when I totally blank on what my character should do, which is frequent in the more narrative-heavy games Alex specialises in.
