Will made stepping into the world of Mothership an absolute blast! I guarantee you WILL have a great time with them! *wink* Storytelling Will creates intensely atmospheric play sessions, describing the feeling and the sounds of the places that they take players to - one session ended with all players shocked into silence, save for one who whispered under their breath, "Holy freaking $%#*!". We all agreed on our group chat that the game was stuck in our heads until our next session. Will brings a cinematic element to their narration, not only in the voice effects that they use, but also the way they summarize player choices and set the scene before big plot moments (something like, "I imagine you all standing around the door, weapons drawn, staring into the darkness as the sounds get louder and louder..."). Even amongst all of the tense moments, Will brings moments of levity and space to breathe with clever use of pacing and pleasant surprises for the characters. Tools Will makes full use of the Mothership companion app, with excellent, detailed maps and other player aids that are revealed as the players move through the world. We did a multi-session story with players who didn't know each other, and he generously typed up a lengthy session overview so that I could catch up on the plot when I had to miss a session. We used Discord for our game sessions, which worked great, and we were able to reschedule a session through StartPlaying when our schedules didn't align. Will uses all of these tools with ease, and was able to help us use the Mothership app for dice rolls and save / stat checks when needed. Excellent GM for new and experienced players Will takes the Mothership approach to "fail forward" on bad dice rolls to really creative places, meaning that even a bad roll (or three!) can still go well enough for something interesting to come out of it - just not what the players thought would happen. Our entire crew was new to Mothership, and they eased us into the mechanics while making it all feel natural and uncomplicated. Sessions and mid-session breaks always ended on memorably high notes (of success, failure, or the surprise of the unexpected), which made it an event all of our crew looked forward to each session. THANK YOU WILL, you were awesome as our GM!
