About James (J)

I am a GM with over a decade of experience. My main job is as a teacher, which helps me work with players at all different levels and with distinct goals. I love working with new players to discover the fun of DnD for the first time and experienced players to create twists and turns they may have never experienced. Let's build a story together; they can only be made this way.

When I'm not running games I'm...

I am going on adventures, hiking, canoeing, and looking for places off the map.

How James (J) runs games

Module campaigns: Fun combat and bringing the module to life for the players while putting my spin on the adventure. Custom campaigns: I focus on roleplay and custom adventures built around the player characters. If you're a player who loves designing backstories and wants to see them turn into story-hook adventures, I am the GM for you. The Rule of Cool will often beat the Rules as Written. Give me those crazy ideas, and see how they play out.
