Thank you for your financial support, it is appreciated.  I put in a lot of effort into creating a total immersion experience. Dustin W .: "I have actually really been in awe over the detail you work into everything with this interface." Cody R . "You are 1000% more professional than anyone else." Christopher S . "You're the best DM I've have the pleasure playing with even when i was going to the game stores.", "[regarding the ] "Behind the DM Screen" Intro talk...every one loves it, and so do I" Skyhawk : I found you to be a great GM. Harv S . DM had an afternoon session before the [evening] gameplay where we hashed out connection issues, character sheets, etc. He also had some helpful How To's posted in the game log [handouts]. What I learned here was: - The DM had a whole slew of character sheets already generated. Some valuable time was spent loading in specifics that had the potential to speed up gameplay, such as separate lines for ranged weapons for short, medium, and long range. There was also some good background/motivation info to help the player play "in character". - The players that brought in their own chars had less complete macros and one had an ability score that was inflated, but the DM had some time to screen these things before the session and none of it impacted game play. I could see some best practices emerging once the session started, like... - DM did a good job of setting a turn order outside of combat and inside combat. - The DM made it very clear up front and during the game that XP would be awarded based on characters using all of their skills, pursuing the goals outlined in their char sheet bios, following their alignment, etc. This encouraged good role-playing. - We were playing a module with a story-line. This was tricky since some of us were not in the last session, but the DM did a good job publishing notes and reviewing key points of the story-line. He even took advantage of the roll20 server downtime to review plot points and help us stitch different events together. Paul W.: "...split party has worked really smooth, great job. It's been so smooth, I mean good job, for real." Jessica H . "You are a totally cool DM..." Craig F. "You a very, very good GM, and in a class by yourself." Mark H.  "Excellent DM!  I love his maps and attention to detail and using the sound effects and stuff really makes for a fun session on Roll20." Sefnerr  ' Very cool. Thanks for doing this."
