About me
Hello there. My name is J'ohn. I am a GM who enjoys immersive and theatrical D&D games. I believe that with some dedication and work, D&D games can be elevated and be much more than just people rolling their dices and using their imaginations to roleplay. And my role as the GM would be to make that into a reality. 🎲I Enjoy: - Studying lore of any subgenre materials - Creating meaningful stories that make everyone at the table shine - Immersive and memorable role playing - Playing and designing games
