Harry

He has a wide variety of scenes to set the mood, and also seems to enjoy having a variety of NPC voices. He's happy to adapt to player choices and present plenty of options. He also champions the players, encouraging us to have fun.

From joining in with the player's jokes to setting a truly terrifying dungeon delve, my session with Eldrich as a GM was great fun. She maintains a great atmosphere, encourages and embraces player ingenuity, and keeps the world dynamic and evolving. She went above and beyond to help me create my first Shadowdark characters, easily fitting me and my character into the session. Despite myself being unfamiliar with the rules of this TTRPG, Eldrich was very welcoming and helped me to understand the rules and play well with the rest of the players. I'm definitely coming back for more dungeon delving shenanigans!

I've had plenty of experience with Matt as a player in his games and as a GM for him. As a player he always keeps everyone involved, sharing the spotlight and supporting his teammates. As a GM it's clear that he's deeply invested in his worlds, with rich characters, backstories, and ongoing plot developments building from the player's choices. He also welcomes player creativity and input. If you've got an exciting idea for something your character would do, Matt is always inclusive and open minded. If I had enough spare time, I'd participate in every game he runs.

Professor Bulk may just be starting out as a GM on StartPlaying, but he definitely has what it takes to be a great GM. He embodied his world well, he had wonderful NPCs that felt like real characters, he adapted well to the unexpected events that always happen in TTRPGs, and he always found a way to spread the spotlight around the players. It takes a lot of guts to GM for folk online, and Professor Bulk absolutely delivered a fun game. If/when I ever got the opportunity to play with him again, I absolutely will.
