MY character. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Although I have admittedly known no other DM but Jon (either in-person or PBEM) I can't imagine that it is possible to approach the game more skillfully or with more craftsmanlike attention to every detail of the world our characters live in.  His ability to weave five different (and usually diametrically opposing) character viewpoints into a seamless and well-written storyline that values every player's input is utterly amazing to me.Draelond is my second character in this game and in large part due to my own fascination with his overwhelming strength, I have used him as little beyond a human death dispenser.  My familiarity with the detailed rules and descriptions of gameplay is cursory at best, as is my gaming experience, so I often feel that it's unfortunate that I haven't delved to deeply into his abilities other than swinging a sword REALLY hard.  To Jon's credit, the storyline and charcater interactions have allowed Draelond to evolve into a much more interesting character than he might otherwise have been.So... my best belated wishes for a Happy DM Appreciation Day to you JP, and to other DM's who follow the Saga of these five somewhat quirky individuals.  I have no reason to blow sunshine up anyone's... well... you know the saying... when I say that those of us that spend a couple of days a week in Jon's world are among the lucky ones.Thanks,Russell BartlettAddendum: This is not to dismiss the fact that there is indeed a dark side to this man that sometimes scares me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
