Have had the privilege of playing at his table for almost a year now! Every week I'm impressed by his innovative game design, the depth of distinct NPCs that he crafts, and the way that he loops player characters into both published narratives and customized homebrew story arcs. He's very open to player creativity and options, incredibly fair in his rulings between RAW and rule of cool, knowledgeable in lore and game rules, and in general a lot of fun to play with! Highly recommend as a GM for both roleplay-heavy stories and combat-focused campaigns.

Chicky is a phenomenal DM with a lot to offer to any table! She's phenomenal at setting the scene through both art, music, and a very well-spoken description, even when working through a virtual tabletop, plus she's great at working with players to integrate their characters and their backstory into the narrative. Chicky strikes a wonderful balance between letting the story play its part and following natural beats that arise, but also letting players talk and socialize (even at tables they haven't played at before.) She is very careful to be mindful of Lines & Veils and other safety tools, and to facilitate scheduling and the table in a way that's clear, intuitive, and fair to all parties. She knows the rules to systems well but isn't afraid to let the rule of cool ride, and having had her as a player as well, she is incredibly inventive in character creation! It's a gift to get to play at her table or to have her at your own: highly recommended on all counts!
