About me

Partially covered by the dust of time, you find the blanched bones of a human adventurer long dead. Every inch of bone is covered with tiny bite marks or burrowed holes. Some of the bones have been broken by the crushing teeth of a much larger creature. The slightest touch on a pouch at his side causes it to disintegrate into dust and string, revealing its contents. Coin… You smile at the sound of it hitting the ground. A backpack in similar condition reveals a map case with a map inside. You hold the case gently trying not to disturb the contents too much. The thought of a long forgotten treasure waiting to be discovered comes to mind as you secure it carefully to your pack. Your torchlight gleams off of metal on his skeletal finger. A gold ring with an inlaid garnet shines brightly. Rewards such as this are the result of adventures that normal people fear to take on. Risking life and limb to plumb the depths of mystery. Fighting creatures that are the stuff of nightmare and legend. This year will make 45 years since I began roleplaying in college. You know what? I still can't get enough! I love the games and I love introducing them to new players. I love the stories and memories that are created when I play with a good group. My games are thoughtful, intense, exciting and unbiased. I work hard to make sure everyone has an opportunity to shine. In my time as a DM, I’ve run one on one games as well as games for large groups. Campaigns and one shots. Whether you are learning or experienced, I can run a game that will be full of adventure and excitement. Choose me and join one of the awesome games I am already running or request a time for your own one shot or campaign. There will be fun for all!

Character creation

Creating your character

Characters will be pre-generated to quickly get into the action unless players agree to create characters. If we create characters, then character generation will happen in game.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Think about the type of character you would like to play. What is the concept? Do you want to be a part of a faction or not? Once you have chosen a concept, then think about the archetype. You will be able to choose from many, but the groupings will come from Warmaster, Socialite, Adept, Disciple or Academic.

How James M creates a safe table

My games are pretty PG, good for all ages. The important thing, is to have fun. We will use pre-generated characters(unless all players agree to create characters). You can expect a good bit of roleplaying (mostly to establish characters) minimal puzzles and some good action. Sometimes the best solution is to not engage in combat, so this will give everyone an opportunity to shine and be the hero. I am also very open to the concerns of players. I have been a manager for 20 years, so if someone has a problem, let me know and I will do my best to resolve it. I use the XNO safety tools and am willing to include other safety tools if needed.
