He know works for Upperdeck games So I won't wish for him back since he has gotten his dream job.So far he is the best DM I have ever had and the measuring stick for all future DMs. He is very creative his home brew worlds just demand that you come on in and explore them. He was great at spur of the moment fly by the seat of your pants DMing which he needed with our group. He was also good at looking at things like feats and such and really seeing how balanced or ubalanced they were. He worked with all the players designing prestige classes if needed tweaking class ability there to help the players have the character they wanted and none of the characters came out as uber munchkins. He also encouraged role play and gave us the support the make decisions that rest of the party may not like. We sometimes had conflict between party members but it only enriched the game and never once did it threatened the stability of the game.His NPCs became a very important part of the game we cared about these characters and yet they never overshadowed the PCs. It is something I have really missed in my current games.I also think he was smart enough to realize that if you want a long running game you need to lower XP awards so you level slower. In three years we hit 10 level. But I liked that better becasue it added to the belivability to the game. Np epic level 18 year olds. I enjoyed it as a sorcerer because I got to fully utilize all my spells and learned some really good tactics with them before I suddenly got new spells.I only got to play with him as a player twice once was a short Forgotten Realms game the second was the game we still play. His character was dark and maybe evil but through skilled role playing he ended up as leader of the party he eventualy won the loyalty of most of the characters. Under his leadership we got more done and worked better as a team than we do now with the leadership of a paladin.His character wanted to rule the world and he was smart enough to know that he needed others to accomplish this goal so he was subtly grooming the other PCs for this task. And he did this with a mixture of goods, and neutrals and lawfuls in the party.I miss him and I think any group heplays with is very lucky.</blockquote>
