Storytelling
Visual Aid
Creativity
Jording has years of experience. He brings a wide range of knowledge of systems and incorporates many different DMing styles. His abilities to Judge and Manage a group are second to none. His creativity in storytelling and language-craft are the best in the biz. As one of the highest requested DMs within my local stores and gaming groups, he comes prepared, has tons of visuals, creates 3D printed minis and props, and often weaves relevant and current themes among the storytelling elements and narratives. And he really likes Ferrets.
I recently had the pleasure of participating in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign led by the incredible Matt Jording, and I simply have to share my experience with the world. From the moment we gathered around the table, he had us hooked. His ability to weave a compelling narrative, create vivid descriptions of the world around us, and craft complex and engaging characters left us all in awe. Every encounter, whether it was a combat encounter or a roleplaying moment, felt meaningful and impactful, and we were constantly on the edge of our seats, eager to see what would happen next. But it wasn't just their storytelling prowess that impressed us. Matt has a true talent for managing the game mechanics, always making sure we understood our options and guiding us through complex rules with ease. He was always ready with a helpful explanation or a well-timed reminder, and we all felt confident that we were in good hands. Overall, I can confidently say that Matt is one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of playing with. His passion for the game was infectious, and his dedication to crafting a memorable and enjoyable experience for all of us was truly inspiring. I can't wait to see what other adventures he has in store for us, and I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated Dungeon Master.
Matt is one of the best GM's I've ever played with. He's a great world builder and knows what he's doing. He allows the players to truly make up their own minds and make their own decisions. This means that sometimes the adventures go into unexpected and unplanned territory. Most GM's stick to "stories-on-rails", but Matt is able to roll with it, creating new obstacles and encounters on the fly. Matt's unique ability to do "think-on-your-feet" storytelling style keeps the campaigns fun and engaging!
Character creation
Creating your character
Level dependent on publication or campaign material requirements, new characters should start at 3rd level and level up if the materials support it. Players should bring their own or a pre-rolled character provided for the session.
A great introduction to Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. If your looking to learn to play or if your an experienced player / group looking to start a campaign in the Forgotten Realms.
