I am delighted to announce that Joonas Frösen, one of the UK and Europe's favourite GMs, has just achieved his 5 Star game. He is well known for travelling afar to generously run games in Lodges and clubs wherever needed. (We suspect he has a series of portals.) It's hard to see where he finds the time because he already runs a thriving group in Cambridge. Joonas Frösen ran a wonderful "Serpents' Ire" game for us, today. Here are some of the players' comments:
This was a very complex adventures with many moving parts and Joonas had prepared it right up to the hilt, ready for a fast moving game without long pauses to check the text. He ran a very clear briefing subtley highlighting the key issues for missions and he did that all in-character. His table management is spot on. It's a pleasure to play with a challenging GM who does so fairly and without vindictiveness, occasionally helping struggling players. That's a rare thing. Joonas raises GM'ing to an artform.
Jonas combines all the things you want from a GM. Firstly, he is an excellent storyteller and paints the world for his characters in vivid colours with his narrative. Also, he is a balanced and experienced adjudicator who makes sure things occur fairly and correctly. Lastly, he is a devious opponent, ensuring that his players never get a a free ride.
Joonas really knows the system. He even understands the grappling rules!
He is highly knowledgeable about the rules and he really knows the scenario. So the pace of the game is improved because he knows it so well.
He is good at moving the plot forward when we were prevaricating. He kept the game right on track. He also gave us interesting and vivid descriptions of the NPCs and environment.
I liked his voices. He channels brain-eaters very well.
