About me
Well met adventurers, I’m DM Jai, a professional actor who brings cinematic storytelling, unforgettable characters, and pulse-pounding combat to the table. With years of experience in both acting and gaming, I make every NPC come alive, every encounter feel epic, and every session tailored to your group’s unique style. Whether you want to dive into a legendary published campaign or embark on a one-of-a-kind homebrew epic, you’ll experience customization like strategy-heavy combat, immersive roleplay, or brain-teasing puzzles. New player or veteran? Casual fun or serious campaign? My table adapts to your style. No more stumbling through awkward silences or railroading plots. I deliver polished, professional sessions that keep you engaged from start to finish. This isn’t just roleplaying, it’s a performance, and you’re the star. Join today and step into the adventure you’ve always dreamed of.

Creating your character
You will have access to the content I have available on DnD Beyond. If you need something specific, I will do my best to acquire the appropriate source material on the site. You are free to pre-build characters before Session 0. Stats will be rolled on Discord. If not satisfied, then you may use Standard Array or Point Buy. Players will be able to roll for magic items before the campaign. This campaign will start at Level 2. Due to the theme of the campaign, no Underdark races are allowed: Drow (Dark Elves), Duergar (Dark Dwarves), or Sverfneblin (Dark Gnomes). If you really want to play these races, a solid backstory will be required.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Roll20 and DnDBeyond campaign links will be provided on Discord in private campaign channel. You also need to download Beyond20.
What DM Jai brings to the table
I am a professional actor, so expect great role-play and engaging characters. Voices and dialects will be used as much as I can. I focus on collaborative story building and will lean rulings more towards what tells the best story (Rule of Cool). Beautiful maps and tokens from the publisher and a high standard of art for maps. I own a handful of DnD Beyond content for character building and will do my best to provide what you need. Discord server with a great community of players for voice chat during play. Sessions will be run visually on Roll20.
