I was looking for Zak Smith's post about GM styles. Sure enough, I found the one about Jeff Rients and the one about his own style.
To summarize: Jeff is enthusiastic and seems very attentive, Zak is impartial and almost bored.
I like both, and actually think I oscillate between the two. At first, I'm pretty reserved and just set the scene. But then something happens, and get more enthusiastic with a voice almost giddy with murderous glee. Likewise, I occasionally offer suggestions, which almost always imply doom — my players consider my suggestions, but rarely act on them (or at least they don't act on them without careful consideration).
Though it's difficult, I might like to try to switch my style in the future. We'll see.
