I have mixed feelings about this GM. While the game we played was incredibly immersive, with great audio for drawing us into the world, all their visuals were AI generated, and when me and another player expressed discomfort with this the GM said they would make an effort to remove that material, nothing changed. They encouraged player creativity, but ultimately I felt like we were telling a historical event, not changing or affecting the world around us. All of this I would probably have kept to myself, but after a lot of absences by players me and my friend asked if we could do a new game or refresh in the slot because we weren't connecting well to the other player, the game was on rails, and we weren't vibing with it, but still wanted to give the GM a chance because some aspects were really good. . There were three of us, and 2 wanted a change. The GM thanked us and said we'd talk more, then booted us from the server. I took this as rude, so I decided to be honest about it.
Ant carries a sense of eased professionalism that I respect and enjoy. As a Professional GM myself, my own standards are high, and he meets each one of them. He makes the table seem like the casual home games from my youth, while also maintaining everyone's fun through communication and safety. He welcomes all but protects his players from bad actors. The biggest compliment I have is for the depth and creativity of his world. I was fascinated and enraptured immediately, hungry for new scenes and experiences so I can gorge myself on more unique and intriguing lore. He also let's players expand and build with him, creating your character's one of a kind origin within his once in a lifetime worlds.
DeAngelo is a friendly GM who is always ready to hype your character, even if it means bending the rules a bit. As a Pro GM myself I have high standards, and I've played with GM's who do this in a cold, professional manner and I leave those communities fast, but playing with DeAngelo and my coterie mates felt like sitting at my FLGS or a kitchen table to pal around and tell an awesome story, which is much more my speed. He seamlessly transitions from congenial hanging out to talking business to running the game like a real live person, not a DnD Dispenser I meet with once a week. I feel good supporting him because he's a real friendly dude, I know he loves to game, cheers for his players, and will provide awesome experiences to others long after our time gaming together is done.
As a Pro GM, I have high standards for my own relaxation and entertainment. I was VERY impressed by his presentation and professionalism, and absolutely hooked by the vivid descriptions. Definitely suits my style, which favors telling awesome stories about epic players doing awesome things. I also wish to compliment his inclusiveness, and can say I genuinely learned some GMing techniques for my own tables.
