About me

I’ve loved the escapism that TTRPGs offer ever since the first time I played D&D as a child. Since then, I’ve been GMing different game systems for over 40 years. I’ve found that the more role-play there is in a game, the more fun it becomes. Feel free to call me Japes (jay-ps), which is what I’m known by IRL. It’s a sort of hybrid of my given name, Jean-Paul. I first GM’d online games in 2020, when my daughter started her A level (UK exams) and I’m really proud to say she is now finishing her degree. One game grew into many, and some of those players are still at the table four years or more later. I think they’d say that I’m a fan of you, the player, and that I love to see the party succeed; not because the adventure was easy, but because you triumphed against the odds. My games are open to everyone. Bring your creativity to the table and embrace your dream character, whether that’s a 1920s Black female FBI agent in Call of Cthulhu, something made from Sapient Pearwood in Discworld, or a D&D fairy barbarian. Your character is the gateway to your adventure.
