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
If players want to create their own character, I will have DnDBeyond resources available through the campaign link I will share in Discord. Players should create a level 5 character using either 2024 or 2014 rules, and can choose any class/subclass/race combination. Players should use point buy for stat generation, and should select one rare and two uncommon magic items. If desired, I am happy to assist players in character creation up to and including creating a character for you. If you have a concept, we can build it out!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
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! Players will need a Discord account, a roll20 account, a microphone, and ideally a camera.

Safety
How Infinite Storyteller (Teller) creates a safe table
Player safety is my top priority. Prior to Session Zero all players will receive the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist, and are highly encouraged to return the completed checklist to me to review. We will discuss any concerns players have prior to our game. 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.
