"Russell is an exceptional GM. It is evident the amount of work he puts into preparing sessions, but more significantly his preparation, storylines and characters are always heavily influenced by the player characters such that whatever character you are playing, Russell takes the time to create storylines and well fleshed-out NPCs that will draw them into the world and give them the opportunity to shine. To me, this is a sign of a GM truly committed to delivering a unique and engaging experience for his players. While Russell's GMing is great across the board, the other thing that really stands out to me are his NPCs - the combination of creativity in their personalities combined with Russell's fantastic roleplaying leads to NPCs that feel believable and alive."
