About me
I have been a Dungeon Master since 1985. My friends wanted to try a game called Dungeons and Dragons - Dragonlance but no one wanted to run it, so I raised my hand and have been running adventures ever since! I have run many systems but my favorites to create in are Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. I have run a middle school D&D club and I have hosted many games and campaigns over the years -with a few on YouTube - and soon I would like to live stream them on Twitch!
GM Style
I love bringing an environment to life for my players. I use dynamic maps in Foundry VTT and I create engaging stories and roleplaying atmospheres. I love my DM style because it allows the group to have the freedom to go and do whatever they want and the story and major events will unfold with or without their involvement. Now the story may change and get harder if the players take to much time or may get easier if they focus and go exactly where they are needed. I hate games that are literally just “travel here, fight these guys”. Travel there and fight some more. Instead I will come up with the chapters and have key events, but how and when you get there is up to the party! I have every sourcebook and adventure on D&D Beyond. I allow you to create your character with just about any option or backstory you can think of. I also supply the virtual Tabletop to play in your browser. No downloads, accounts, etc necessary. Finally I also have a private discord server available for all players to have access to me, their teammates and players in private channels that can be used for notes, get togethers and planning what you might want to do next session!

As a new player, Michael aka “LibertyJack" has done a great job guiding me through these past 7 months. My weekly games with him, and the friends I adventure with has been a great experience. I felt it was only right to leave this review to say thank you for being a great DM; the detailed maps, world depth and storyline you have crafted makes me feel immersed in this world. - Danial Matin aka "QuestingKnight"
Connor U Brown
He is a very good DM with an attention to the enjoyment of his players in a realistic sitting. He wants to challenge his players with cause and effects of almost every choice they make. People remember what you do in his games and it brings an immersion that I have only breached the surface of. We've been playing various campaigns throughout the last year or two and he has never disappointed. He brings a serious commitment and so long as you stay engaged and committed to the fun and story of the campaign he will see to it that you have a funfilled session.

Liberty is a great DM who has a knack for rerailing the campaign after we run off is some other direction

Jack is a great DM. I have ran a few campaigns with him; currently in one. He is a masterful storyteller and world creator. He deploys several voices and other mechanics to envelope you in the world of play. He is able to manage small parties and larger ones without problem; always giving each player character his or her own time to shine. He will also work with each player to help them develop their character to make sure they both fit into the world and achieve the style of play the person desires. Overall I HIGHLY recommend Jack as your DM. He brings a level of fun and immersion both new and seasoned players will find enjoyable.

I came to the table with minimal knowledge on true dnd rules (I played a lot of homebrew.) Michael was really helpful, very patient and kind as I asked the large amounts of questions- even though I was slowing down a bunch of knowledgeable players! Michael himself is extremely knowledgeable in the game. I swear I could ask him anything, there was always an anwser to be had! Really an amazing DND expirence overall. Additionally, the story telling skills are out of this world. We used foundry and he made these wonderfully beautiful and very tactile maps that made our adventures so much more fun. Very educated in how foundry works as well. He made his own story, his own maps- and I couldn't tell the difference between that of one in a D&D adventure book.

Playing with Michael is like no other, it feels as if you go into a different reality aware from all worries.. besides of course the GREMLINS! The games he hosts have so many choice options, he doesn’t push his players down one path and always gives them options. He’s extremely down to earth and he make playing D&D into Being in D&D... I highly, highly recommend Michael if you want to get into your D&D; his games are no joke! (But he’s obviously very funny)
