After playing through a Shadowdark campaign with him, I can say that Dwayne is a fantastic DM. On an administrative level, he was always on time and kept the sessions and the campaign overall within the agreed upon length. He was always quick to respond to messages, and during the game itself encouraged regular breaks. During the sessions, Dwayne wove a delightful atmosphere and story and showed a great level of knowledge of the game system, the module we played, and the kind of game we all agreed to play. Dwayne always made sure all of us players were engaged and got to participate during the sessions, and it really felt like he was a fan of all of our characters and wanted them to succeed, without overly bending the rules in our favour. Since I was a newcomer to the system, Dwayne also took the time to help me create a character and explain basic mechanics to me, and I was never made to feel bad for not knowing a rule of having to look something up. I can whole-heartedly recommend signing up for a game with Dwayne as GM, I had an absolute blast.

I've been playing PF2e with Ekscom for a couple of months now, and it's always been a blast. Session start and end on time, with ample notice should the timing not work out for one reason or another. The sessions themselves are super fun, and while Ekscom has a good grasp of the rules, he's always willing to let us players argue for an exception or rule of cool. He's also always been super willing to both explain rules, rulings as well as his reasoning behind them, and is always happy to let us, say, adjust our characters based on how much we're enjoying playing them. For the session, there are usually visual aids such as maps and tokens, and usually there also is music, which can help set the scene. Finally, one more thing I want to highlight is Ekscom's enthusiasm both for the games and the characters. In every game, you can feel how much passion and time he puts into prepping and running, and he really wants the PCs in game to have epic moments and dramatic twists.
