About me

Hello weary traveler, I am Shuffle, a world builder and adventurer. I am a father of two and I love storytelling. I have been hosting table top games for over 25 years. My GM style is a mix of RP and combat with a focus on share narrative creation. I love to create worlds where people can experience things our world doesn’t offer. A long rest, disposable income, magic swords, dragon friends, adventure, traveling with friends, a sincere of direction and purpose. If any one of those sounds fun to you please shoot me a message, or sign up for a game. The best adventures are shared. LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent friendly.

SJ Hart is one of those DMs whom I would always play at their table if given the chance, he has it all for me. Willing to work with each player to ensure their character shines and gives them their amazing moments, doesn't shy away from the satisfying combat even when its an RP focused game, always has a story in mind without knowing exactly how things are going to go leaving the how and the end up to the players. He crafts a complete and vibrant world that feels alive and at times is as much of a character at play as any one of his memorable NPCs. And he doesn't shy away from the moral dilemmas with stakes and consequences in world that at least for me anyways had me asking "are we really the heroes here?" 11/10

SJ Hart looooves his settings. If you want the movie-like, video-game-like, or storybook like worlds, he's your guy. Very Easy to get along with too and just a chill dude overall.

Let me tell you about SJ Hart, the absolute best Dungeon Master I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with. SJ doesn’t just run a game; he creates these incredible worlds that you get completely lost in. Every detail, from the cities to the tiniest NPC, feels alive. It’s like stepping into a book you can’t put down, but better because you get to help write the story. And his voice acting? Oh man, it’s next level. He’s got a voice for every character—grumpy dwarves, sly villains, mysterious wizards—you name it, and he nails it every single time. It’s like having a whole cast of actors at the table. But what really makes SJ shine is how much he cares about the players and their experience. I’m transgender, and I play a female character in our campaign. From the start, SJ has been so inclusive and supportive—it’s never been just “tolerant,” it’s been celebrated. He made my character’s story feel meaningful and personal in a way that’s genuinely touched me. He’s created this safe, welcoming space where I can just be myself and fully dive into the adventure without any hesitation. Every session with SJ is packed with action, emotion, and so much laughter. He’s not just a great DM—he’s the kind of storyteller and friend who turns a game night into something you’ll be talking about for years. If you ever get the chance to play in one of his games, don’t miss it. It’s pure magic.

Character creation
Creating your character

Character creation will be done at session zero as a group. If you join after session zero we can setup a time to discuss your character ideas. Stats are rolled with dice the 4d6 drop the lowest stat. For example if you rolled a 6, 4, 2, and a 1 you would have a score of 12 you can assign to a stat of your choice. We will all roll together and go about assigning our stats as a group. Back stories are encouraged but not required. Character will start at level one. Any published 5e material is welcome.
