How will you fare?

About me
I absolutely love being a DM, online or in person. DM online. I was forced into it by my friends wanting to play D&D, but no one wanting to run the games. I took the mantle and enjoy it a lot. I'm a storyteller above anything else. I've ran a few one shots and short campaigns. I wanted to get into running online games and teaching others how to play. I love the creativity, teamwork, storytelling, and fun over everything else. Combat is fun, but it isn't the whole game. Roleplaying is a big part, but I never force anyone to roleplay if they feel shy. Everyone who wishes to join one of my games will be sent a link to my Discord. It's a great place for the community of TTRPGers!! And we love having new people join into our warm and welcoming channel! My job is to make sure that everyone has a great time and builds friendships!!!

I've played TTRPGs for over 20 years, and James is easily one of my top 3 GMs. He's willing to let his players be creative with their skills and actively encourages us to be creative. He's the right balance of following the rules while still being flexible. Even my kids have enjoyed playing a one shot he ran for fun! I look forward to every session.
He does an amazing job with description and story telling through NPC interaction. Combats are always well balanced to be challenging and fair to the players. He is very patient with new players and will walk them through their options. Would highly recommend this DM for anyone who wants the best D&D experience! ♡
Having played in several of James' campaigns for over a year now, I can say he is an excellent story teller and DM. He knows the rules, but allows for players to have cool moments. Roleplaying is encouraged, but no one feels forced to do so if they are shy. Being in his games has helped me immensely as an aspiring DM to break out of my shell and finally run a one-shot for my friends in the group. I would highly recommend any of James' games to new and veteran players alike.
James has was great, this campaign is a mix of box and homebrew. He reached out to me about my character development, and gave me some material to review to get up on the world and it’s rules. He took the time to give every player their time in the spot light an roleplay. Provided opportunities for the "rule of cool”! He was also very helpful with some new players in the group. Had a great time and looking forward to more sessions.
I’ve played with James as a DM and a player, and it’s always a good time! Both new and experienced players alike will enjoy playing with this DM. He knows the rules while always allowing for player creativity and the “rule of cool”. He’s very helpful and flexible with character creation, giving access to some cool homebrew subclasses and feats, and makes your characters feel like a real part of the world he’s creating. If you’re looking for a fun, inclusive table with great storytelling, challenging combat and flushed-out, interesting characters, look no further!
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will start at Level 1, with basic backstories... starting equipment as usual... I have a lot of homebrew for you all to play with! I love character art, as we can turn them into tokens! And don't stress yourself out over creation, I can also be messaged for ideas! We will use rolled stats from Discord, and I do hand out some rerolls if they're terrible... If they dont work out, you can use Point Buy or Standard Array
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need the AboveVTT plugin for Chrome or Firefox, a Discord handle, a DnDBeyond account (all are free), a working microphone, webcam is optional, a mind for story telling, cooperation for other players and their ideas, respect for everyone involved telling the story... and most of all your part of the story that we will tell everyweek!!
What James brings to the table
I will bring, ultimately, part of the story for all of you to help write! I have the Discord channel, DnDBeyond Content (with tons of homebrew), characters, ambient music, voices, and an indepth narration... I do stick to the rules for the most part, but am open to "Rule of Cool". Ultimately this is the player's story, I just give them the outline and effects of their choices!
