About me
Nothing makes me happier than providing a fun experience for others, be it through tabletop roleplay, creative writing, gaming, or any other means. Almost as soon as I learned how to play Dungeons & Dragons as a teenager, I decided to become a dungeon master. I suddenly had a whole new way to tell stories, and guide my friends in telling them, too. One of my fondest memories brings me back to the grocery store where I was stocking shelves, and a new friend approached and asked, "So, do you know about all the dragon colors?" Work quickly became far nerdier. I love using tabletop to build a story around the creative ideas of every player, and believe even the newest players can be the greatest. The best way to learn is to play, and I'm always happy to help be the guide while that happens. I am a career journalist who loves weaving in themes from history and literature into my games, and even playing homage to the rich literary history that inspired many of the tropes that survive in gaming today.

Creating your character
Characters will begin at level 1 in session 1, and advance together as a party. Level 2 and 3 are sure to come quick. Roll20 and D&DBeyond characters are welcome. We use a point buy method for stats. Feel free to iron out your character idea ahead of time if you're comfortable, but there will be additional features you will gain through roleplay in our first session together as we make our characters and their prologues. I will be available to help teach anyone who needs it, and love doing so.
Currently level 8. We have an amazing group with this game. It's a well-rounded party combining old school veterans and new players together. They've fostered a strong RP style that includes party banter, theorizing about the mysteries of the campaign, and even taking a step back to hash out moral questions together. The party has a cozy, friendly, playful vibe out of character, which I always love watching play out, and being part of as the referee! The party seeks one more person to round things out, and help with the second half of this exploration-heavy adventure. I'll sit down with anyone who wants to join on a free session 0 to talk about characters, the story so far, and find the best way to drop you right into the action with the party.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will want to prepare: Discord, a working mic, and a Roll20 account. Be sure to join the Discord! Also be sure to bring a collaborative attitude! We'll build this story together, and I consider that foundation an exciting part of playing D&D!
What Jer Jones brings to the table
I'll bring D&DBeyond so everyone has access to the rulebooks we need and tons of supplementary material from my own custom content as well as an Arcadia subscription. I will provide reference art and maps as needed for the game, a detailed, custom world to explore, and interesting characters with their own motivations for you to meet. I have equipped an open mind so we can figure out how your character and their goals fit into this world. Cat pics!

How Jer Jones creates a safe table
It will be up your characters to decide how they want to approach The Hunt, and up to the players to decide what motivated their character to take on such a journey. As you explore dangerous, mystical lands, you may need to decide when to take the direct approach, and when to practice cunning as you compete with rivals in The Hunt. How will you handle the ambitions of other factions who want the same thing you do? While each character will have plenty to overcome, it will be up to us as a group to decide what sort of content we want to include in the game. In our first session together we'll discuss boundaries and expectations. Players are welcome to communicate their limits ahead of time with me, too, as I will lead the group discussion with my own. Our first session will also be spent creating a prologue together. From where does each character travel? What has influenced them to go on this journey? What bonus abilities will their personal experiences grant them? All of these questions will be answered as part of character creation, and influence the direction of the story, and the shape of the world. This game is welcoming to new and experienced players, and offers a variety of social, exploration, and combat challenges.
