Learn to Play D&D! ...and kill some goblins

Hello, I'm Jesse! I have great memories of playing and GMing TTRPGs throughout my life, starting in 1999 as a child sitting in the RV that never moved from my friend’s driveway, making up half the rules to AD&D 2e and laughing together. I have been continuously running campaigns since 2012, including almost every kind of game and theme imaginable: newbie heroes saving a small town, prophesied saviors from across the multiverse attending a school for chosen ones, antiheroes scraping by in an uncaring galaxy, campy and wacky, intense and emotional, tactical, dramatic, political, dungeon crawls, published adventures, homebrew creations… I’ve also used many different systems, most commonly D&D 5e, but also 3.5, Pathfinder 1 & 2e, story forward indie games, rules-light systems, and more! I’ve been heavily involved in organized play in several TTRPGs–I was an organizer for a local store for several years, ran at conventions like San Diego Comic Con, DMed at D&D Live 2019, etc. Between the public and my friends, I have taught dozens and dozens of people to play. I’ve also run high level games for people playing since before I was born. Beginner and veteran friendly! Otherwise, I grew up on Long Island, and I've lived in Los Angeles since 2015. I'm politically leftist, and accepting of people as they are. Some nerdy favs: LotR, Episode V, Cowboy Bebop, Freiren, The First Law, Book of the New Sun, BG3, KotOR. I’m excited to run games for anyone looking to play TTRPGs! Banner Image by upklyak on freepik
