About me
Hello Fellow Adventurer. I am DM Jon. I have been running games for friends and family for over 40 years. Now I am expanding into online DMing. I would enjoy having some new friends to run for. My rule number one is have fun, but not at another's expense. I love collaborative storytelling and having a awesome time. The written story is really more of a guideline then an actual rule. New players are always welcome at my table. Let me hear your ideas and together we can make it come to life.I will integrate character backstories to my overall plot.
GM Style
I enjoy a balance between role-playing and combat. I keep a fair risk/reward and enjoy home brewing some of my magic items. Most game sessions should be a mix of combat and role-playing. Everyone shares the spotlight at my table and the players are the heroes of the story. Over the 40 years of running D&D, I have learned a lot of different styles. From bloodthirsty vampires to a fluffy bunny story for my 5 year old. I am flexible to the groups needs but try to keep most games to a PG13 rating.

Jon is an incredible storyteller that crafts an immersive and entertaining adventure that perfectly blends dramatic tension with moments of levity. He works with characters’ backstories meshing individual arcs and growth with the main storyline. A veteran of the game, Jon has a seamless grasp of the rules, while always allowing for player creativity and “rule of cool”. 100% would recommend joining one of his incredible adventures!

Knows the rules well, and knows when to bend them like all great Dm's do. they don't just gloss over your back story, they find was to incorporate it into game play to make it feel like your characters belong in the world and arn't just dropped in.

I've been playing TTRPGs for more than two decades and Jon is one of the best GMs I've had the pleasure of playing with. He knows how to craft a story that players look forward to every week. Tuesdays (the day we play) has become a day I look forward because I am always excited to see what he has planned for us! He is extremely patient with new players, making certain they know the ropes and what their abilities can do. If you're looking for a fantastic story-driven RP experience, I highly reccommend Jon.

I have known Jon for almost 30 years and have been gaming with him for almost that entire time. He makes sure to know the rules inside and out while still giving his players 100% creativity with the Rule of Cool. He has the patience to teach newbies to the system or world while still offering engrossing story and conflict for the vet.
