I waited some time to make this review, as I wanted to give time for my thoughts and feelings to process. There are pros and cons to all GMs, but I found that Somnus had more cons. There was an issue with very frequent cancellations, mentioned by other reviewers, about 26% of our sessions were cancelled over an approx. six-month time frame. Sessions also often felt underprepared, there were frequent issues with VTT and VTT changes, and there was a general lack of interest shown in the game/party. Somnus also struggled with the Daggerheart system's combat and balance, which in our Umbra game had been sold to us as a central point. Ultimately our campaign ended with Somnus mishandling a question that came up between players regarding the depth of backstory after over 20 sessions. They asked about it in a public SPG server and presented a very one-sided POV to garner support for their pre-meditated choice, which ultimately led to several people leaving and the game ending.
