Michael has a strong grasp of dramatic storytelling, integrating player-driven plot into his narrative and honoring both callbacks and big plays. His world feels alive and responsive in a way which can be easily lost when an adventure is put on the rails. Players retain agency while also feeling pressured by external events - they exist not in a static world which merely waits for the heroes to intervene, but in a dynamic environment responding to (and sometimes striking back at) the efforts of the players.

Enrique is a clever and creative DM. I brought my wife, a relatively new player, along to one of his one-shots. We had a fun time. Good use of maps, visuals, and descriptions.

Sterling puts on a very tight, engaging game. I have rarely seen a DM who could keep a large, complex combat session moving along briskly while managing many monster/NPCs and still finding time for player improvisation, roleplay, and humor. I showed up expecting a simple and routine combat session, and was left wanting to learn more about the world Sterling is building.
