About me
Hello! I'm Jacob, AKA The Infinite Storyteller, or Teller for short. Let me blend game systems, emotional investment, colorful NPCs, exotic locales, and sheer chaos to create the next story you'll tell people about for years. I love to tell stories across settings and systems. I gravitate to tales of the surreal and the cerebral, but I love to tell any sort of story, and the crazier the idea the better. If you love making a character you care about and sending them through an adventure that veers into the unexpected with a GM who cares deeply about player choice and player safety, we’ll have a great time. No matter what sort of game we play I will bring: 📚Well researched and prepped games. I channel my curiosity (also read hyperfixation) into research projects and make them into games. 🎭Big, colorful NPCs. I challenge myself to so fully commit to the bit that my players feel free to be silly and immerse themselves in the story. A range of character voices, good and bad, is a constant at my table. 🧙Immersive Stories. I use music, maps, art, and VTTs to help paint the picture for players and give them more to respond to. 🎉An aggressive “Yes, and” attitude. I’m here to figure out how we can tell the story you want to tell, not keep you from it. 👐Dedication to Safety. I have a “do no harm” policy for tabletop games. Your safety and comfort will always be paramount at my table. So step into a realm of infinite stories, and let's laugh together, cry together, and adventure together!

Creating your character
I will have a variety of pre-generated character sheets that players can tweak before or as we get started. If you want to explore a concept or make a character ahead of time, we can handle that through a brief conversation.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
No preparation is needed for this game! We will play on Discord and using the Roll20 website, so accounts in those two apps will be needed. If you have those and show up with a willingness to learn the system and have fun we'll have a great time! If you would like to get ahead on learning the rules I am happy to provide resources for the Shift RPG System.

Safety
How Infinite Storyteller (Teller) creates a safe table
Player safety is my top priority when playing a TTRPG. Prior to the game all players will receive a Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist and can return the completed checklist to me to review. We will discuss any concerns players have prior to our one shot. While this is not strictly required it is highly encouraged. During gameplay players can introduce a line or veil either verbally or via DM in real time. This functions as an immediate safety tool if something becomes unexpectedly uncomfortable.
