Myth

Mina is the queen of CoC one-shots. I've played in two of her games now and really enjoyed myself both times. Both games had colourful premises, a bit of investigating that reveals backstory as to why Everything Is Scary, and a climactic final scene that goes hard. Pacing for one-shots is difficult to manage, but Mina does it masterfully while keeping the tone perfectly spooky and delivering on scares. Her narration is great, and her picks for background music are impeccable. I also appreciate her approach to table safety and player comfort vs character discomfort. Highly recommend!

Nick is a creative, knowledgeable GM and a wonderful human. I loved being a player in his Starscape game, and most recently he ran a custom one-shot for a friends' birthday and knocked it out of the park. He has a great memory for game rules, but he also knows when to say "rule of cool". He excels at setting up interesting encounters, rolling with punches, and facilitating cool and heroic moments for the PCs. I have always felt comfortable at his table, and I can't recommend him highly enough :)

It's difficult to pick only three tags to describe Steven. He's an imaginative, highly competent, and well-rounded GM who knows how to play to his strengths and encourage player creativity. As of writing this review, I'm five sessions into one of his campaigns and enjoying myself immensely. We got off on a good foot with a Session 0 in which we talked about game expectations, desired tone and themes, and what each player was hoping for. Our first mission arc was heavy on roleplay and exploration, which was our table's preference, and when combat came up it was fun and engaging. He has been very accommodating to my character's motives and backstory, and he has utilized NPCs from my character's backstory, which is awesome. He also allows space for plenty of interaction between PCs, which is perfect for our table. As we start our second mission arc, I feel very invested in the story we are telling, and I look forward to session every week.
