About me

πŸ‘‹ I am Jumbo, 28, any/all, I've been playing TTRPGs for around 5 years now, and I have reached the point where I can confidently (worryingly) call it my full-time hobby! πŸ“– I started by playing D&D 5th Edition, and then branched out by trying different game systems. I currently play D&D, 13th Age, DC20, and Daggerheart. πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ I am GMing Daggerheart, and am hoping to try out Nimble and PbtA games. I like streamlined mechanics and narrative-driven games. 🧠 TTRPGs have become my main artistic outlet, when I realised I needed to go back to creating after so many years focused on school and work. πŸ—“οΈ I am running a long-term, Bastion of Hope Daggerheart campaign for friends. Besides that, I've organised many one-shots using different campaign frames and settings, both online and offline, beginners and veterans, home games, conventions, events, exclusive playtests, etc. 🀝 All my tables are inclusive for all people that love all people! In my games, we believe in universal human rights and don't ignore that politics affects us all! Inclusive πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ 100% Human Made πŸ–οΈ No AI πŸš«πŸ€–
