About me

Hey all! I'm Jack, I'm a best selling adventure writer and professional GM with years of experience. I am all about narrative experiences, with the players at the centre, and I want to help you create the best adventure we possibly can! I've got years of experience running countless sessions of TTRPGs, for both my friends and for strangers. I obsess over the games when I'm not playing, always plotting and scheming elaborate set pieces and NPCs for my players to bamboozle and destroy.

GM Style

I am a big believer in player agency, and my favourite moments of any game are when my plans are upended and my hours of prep utterly ruined by a clever, unexpected or simply insane player move. You will never be railroaded at my table, but I will make sure no one is spoiling anyone else's fun. As a professional GM, I will work hard to make sure everyone is satisfied and enjoying themselves. I believe in creating a safe and tolerant space, and will be using safety tools to make sure everyone is comfortable. If you're looking for a GM who puts players first and loves making sure everyone has their time to shine, then you've come to the right place!

As a brand new player when looking for a GM I consider myself very lucky running into Jack. I admit I was skeptical about paying to play DnD, but after just a few sessions I no longer even think about it because of how much I look forward to playing ever week. He is a great GM who is very fair with the rules and does a great job roleplaying characters to immerse you into the story. I would recommend choosing him as your GM if you can to anyone, and especially if you are brand new to DnD.

Jack has been a fantastic dm. As a new player at the beginning of our journey he went out of his way to assist in designing my character (whom I love) and laid out the foundations of the rules and world in a way that was not only easy to understand but actually fun too. He is always responsive when i have questions or concerns. Would gladly suggest him to anyone needing a good, relaxed, and fun time regardless of experience level.

I'm currently playing in three campaigns and Jack has crafted the experience that I find myself missing most throughout the week. His games leave a lasting impact and I can only give him the highest commendation and recommendation from a former forever DM.

Jack is a great DM, he puts an enormous amount of effort into his NPC's and his session prep. Seriously every single session is a blast, and full of purpose. You will never feel like you're just waiting to move on, every moment is fun, and entertaining. I would highly, highly recommend you consider scheduling yourself with Jack.

Currently at level 15 of a 1-20 campaign with Jack. The storytelling and immersion Jack brings to his games is compelling and if you want to see your character become part of a game world he is your GM. Combat has consequences and failures are fun in his games. Playing at Jack's table and seeing how he handles things is making me a better GM. 100% recommend
