Customer Testimonials

“Connie worked every character’s backstory into the session in a way that not only created a great story, but invited other characters to join in if they wished. She also wove together a story and session that at the same time showed care and thoughtfulness around the players’ comfort levels while still telling a creepy tale with emotional punch.” “Connie encouraged players when an idea was good, worked characters’ backstories into the story, did an amazing job of managing the spotlight, and used awesome body language to convey what was going on in the narrative.” “I was super impressed with Connie’s dedication to telling a cohesive story and willingness and improvisational skills to scrap their own plans and adjust to fit our narrative. Also they are the first GM I have experienced in action to incorporate music into their session which was great! Connie embodied the kind of GM I strive to be and the skills they displayed during this game were far beyond my expectations.”
