I joined in one Westmarches-style D&D session with Randall: he is talented at setting the mood with music, evocative descriptions, engaging NPCs, and deep lore. There was a real sense of exploration in our session. He handled a large group, with a mix of regulars and non-regulars like me, very well - the session was always moving forward. Recommended for players who would like a returning one-shot option with a very friendly GM and a lore-rich setting.
I've joined up with Miguel for a weekly D&D campaign: Miguel handles games very well, entertains our ideas (including some of our ridiculous ones), and has been very good at incorporating our characters personally into the story by using our background information to build on our character descriptions. Recommended!
Jeff ran a short chapter of Ptolus that covered 4 sessions in Cypher system. It was great to play Cypher with this group and with a fantastic GM! Jeff was very good at explaining the system and the setting, and was very good at responding to our random riffing and it was clear that he was devoted to giving us a positive experience that matched what we wanted to do. We were given a lot of latitude to do what we wanted with our characters both in creation and in game play, and at the same time he didn't let us get away with cheesing the game. I highly recommend Jeff for players whether beginning or experienced, and especially if you want to play Cypher system (since it's a lesser known/played system).
Gian ran an intro game of Fabula Ultima, a wonderful and award-winning fantasy role-playing system based on JRPGS that frankly not enough people are playing. I'd been excited to play an actual game of this for ages but had a hard time finding something to participate in. Gian ran a fun clean game, introducing the concepts of the system as we played through the scenario, one at a time, in a "learn by doing" fashion. I highly recommend this GM if JRPGSs are your kind of thing!
