Tyler is absolutely killing it for a new DM. I did a mystery one-shot with him. His NPCs have range, he does voices; he makes them feel like they have actual lives and secrets.It’s rare to find a new DM who can balance a complex plot without getting tripped up when players start doing weird stuff. he uses VFX and music that nails the vibe and keeps you locked in. He sets the scene so well you can practically smell the rain on the pavement. I had a blast just exploring the world he built, and the way the music shifted when things got intense really added that extra layer of tension.For someone just starting out, his instincts for storytelling and character work are spot on, a total pro.

huge appreciation for Icarus and the Warhammer 40K play by post game he’s running for me. Honestly, if you know how hard it is to keep a Play-by-Post game alive and interesting, you’ll know how lucky I am to be playing with him. The way he writes the 40K universe is just incredible. It’s super immersive and he actually cares about my character. Icarus is totally invested in my character's personal arc. The plot is always moving forward (no getting stuck in the mud for weeks!), but he still makes plenty of space for those quiet, tender moments that give the story its heart. It’s not just bolters and chainswords; there’s real emotion in there, too. He’s a legend.

He runs a tight ship and keeps the game moving at a lightning-fast pace, so you’re never stuck waiting around for the action to start. It’s clear he’s mastered the rules, but he’s the furthest thing from a gatekeeper—he’s incredibly open-minded and stays flexible whenever the party throws a curveball at his plans. Most importantly, Christopher is just a great guy to hang out with.

Matthew is hands-down one of the best DMs I’ve ever played with. He’s incredibly sharp and keeps the session moving at a great pace, never letting the energy dip. Even though he’s an expert who knows the rules inside and out, he’s totally down-to-earth and flexible he’s all about saying 'yes, and' to keep the story interesting rather than getting bogged down in technicalities. Beyond the game, Matthew is just a stellar guy; he’s hilarious, easy to vibe with, and has a way of making everyone at the table feel comfortable. He makes the massive job of world-building look totally effortless.

Brian is the absolute gold standard. He has this incredible ability to keep the game moving at a lightning-fast pace without ever losing the depth of the story. While he’s a total master of the mechanics and knows the rulebooks back to front, he isn’t rigid—he’s super open-minded and stays flexible enough to let the players' wildest ideas actually happen. Brian is just a solid, genuine guy with a great sense of humor that keeps the whole table laughing. He makes running a complex campaign look completely effortless, and he creates an environment where everyone feels welcome.
