My boyfriend is usually pretty organised and has a general outline that he will put together when he's planning a game. He allows for the players to do whatever we would do as the character even if it veers off of what he originally would expect. With his most recent game, he thought that we would go right to the dungeon, he didn't expect us to go around and find out stuff from the citizens, but, he is able to quickly change things around. Same when we ended up turning it into a 2 session thing, he prepared different things just in case we had a change in character/player (which we did, one girl from the first night couldn't make it the second night and another girl was added since she ended up being able to come) He does pretty good with the stories he comes up with too ^^

One of our friends is ok as a DM. But there are some things which annoy both my boyfriend and I about him. We're supposed to be playing Pathfinder tomorrow, but the guy hasn't posted anything about it on the wall of our group page. He also hasn't gotten ahold of my boyfriend who is the Co-DM and talked to him about tomorrow. Then when we game, he isn't able to get us back on track when some of the players will go off on tangents (my boyfriend though is able to) and there was something that mike (my boyfriend) had told me that was originally going to be in our session last week, but our friend omitted it for the sake of getting through it. When Mike told me how he skipped it, we both agreed we were disappointed in that and that we wished the guy hadn't taken it out because it would have been awesome for character/story development.

The 3rd DM we have is my brother-in-law's wife (my boyfriend's brother's wife. Yes I refer to his brother as my in law. It's been 5.5yrs today)
She's pretty good. I do like the current campaign we're running of her's. I really don't have any critiques of her style since it's kind of similar to Mike, in the sense she has a general idea of what she wants to do, has it planned out, but also allows for flexibility if we do something different than what she assumes.
