About me

Captain of the Sandbox – GM Jesse Ahoy there! I’m GM Jesse, a lifelong tabletop RPG enthusiast who got my start with AD&D 2e & 3e, and now I run Shadowdark as my system of choice. I’m an avid reader, an aspiring author, and a worldbuilding fanatic, so when I say my campaigns are packed with custom lore, monsters, and dungeons, I mean it. My GM Style & What to Expect 🔹 Sandbox Storytelling – The world moves with or without you. Your choices shape the narrative. 🔹 Tactical Combat & Resource Management – Every decision matters. Survival is a real challenge. 🔹 Player-Driven Action – There’s no single “main plot.” You decide where to go and what to do. 🔹 Immersive Roleplay – I love when players bring their characters to life and engage with the world. 🔹 Old-School Dungeon Crawls – Expect gritty expeditions, deadly encounters, and the thrill of discovery. What Makes My Games Unique? ⚔ Everything is Homebrew – My worlds, monsters, and dungeons are all custom-made for a fresh, unpredictable experience. ⚔ Rule of Cool Meets Real Consequences – Want to try something crazy? Go for it—but be ready for the outcome. ⚔ An Evolving World – Time does not wait. Every session moves the clock forward, and the world reacts to what you do—or don’t do. I welcome experienced players looking for a challenging but rewarding campaign, where every decision carries weight, exploration is dangerous and thrilling, and legends aren’t found—they’re forged. If that sounds like your kind of game, let’s roll some dice and see where the adventure takes us!

We will handle character creation on discord.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

All you really need is a discord account some imagination and enthusiasm to play a character in a very different world.

What GM Jesse brings to the table

I will post to set the scene with descriptions of locations, events, and enemies, supplemented with images and custom-made battle maps updated for most turns.  Then let the players post their actions and repeat. That is the technical answer. The full answer is that I am providing a vivid and detailed science-fantasy setting with rich lore to play Homebrew Shadowdark in using a play-by-post format. Players will never know what to expect, as 75% of enemies are my own creations or reworked Shadowdark monsters with unique mechanics and lore. I also offer a hardcore experience, incorporating stress and wound mechanics, along with a detailed opt-in grievous wounds system for players who truly want to risk life and limb. As for the campaign—expect a long, brutal dungeon, and once you escape, a strange and terrible world awaits to be explored!
