J.R.

My first de facto DM. It helps he's a goddamn good one. Not to get too sentimental, but everything I did for multiple years was building from foundations that this man has created. Tales from the Loop was the first system that I earnestly understood, and it helped that he was very kind to let us build off of his work until it had ballooned in scope to something very few of us could have predicted. He is deeply involved, professional as needs be, and matches the energy of the party to great effect. I will never not think of his voiceovers, and how much he put into the performance- sometimes *too* much. Enthusiastic recommendation. This man knows his shit.

If anything were to ever describe him, I would use the word "ambitious". Everything I've known him to have done is full of a scope of love and intrigue that only stems from the deepest wells of fixation. Any stumbling blocks that might come along the road are, by and large, superseded by his incredible willingness to sink into a world and take others along for the ride. His ability to set a mood is perhaps something I'm biased about, but one of the rare few times I've ever been hooked into a story on a visceral, emotional level was during one of their campaigns- about Duck Tales, of all things! Very involved, fun vibes. Wholehearted recommendation.
