I have had the good fortune of playing with EJ for over three years, and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in his player sessions.
He accommodates many different playing styles, from the more carefree players to those generally more meticulous (where I would place myself). Additionally, he welcomes players from all backgrounds and will work diligently to ensure each session is inclusive. Finally, EJ comes to each session well-organized for that game’s planned course of action but is also very adept when the course of a game pivots unexpectedly.
To anyone reading this who is cautious/nervous about making the next step, I would wholeheartedly recommend EJ as a Game Master; he will take the necessary time to guide you to enable you to make the most out of each session with immersive backgrounds and characters.
EJ is an amazing GM. His games are character-driven, dynamic, fun, challenging, and well-prepped. He is always kind, engages everyone, explains rules in a way that is easy to understand, and has a great sense of humor. I’ve played four different RPG systems with EJ — he’s an excellent teacher. Outside of game-time, he’s responsive to questions and ready to give players any support they need.
Having run this game system before, I knew the chances we would survive would be bleak. EJ made the game an exciting and fun experience. He is a wonderful game master, and I would definitely would play in another of his gsmes. Thanks EJ!!
EJ does a great job of building an exciting and engaging atmosphere whether it’s D&D, Cthulhu, or CyberPunk. Which is why I keep coming back, can’t recommend his games enough.
I’ve played a number of games with EJ as DM, now. Every game is always interesting, unique, full of intrigue, humor, action, surprise, sometimes even sadness. He is an excellent DM, he is flexible in his storytelling, and you’d do well to have him run games for you.
