About me

I've had a passion for storytelling since I was little. DnD has been a great outlet for that passion. I'm new to being a DM but I live by a few rules learned through being a player: 1. The rules are there for a reason but can be bent for fun. 2. The rule of of cool reins supreme 3. This isn't your game, it is our game.

GM Style

My goal as a DM is to help you fully engage with your character and live your character's best life. I want to foster a safe, healthy environment for all my players. My GM style is best described as "Yah, that is awesome, lets make it happen."

Im new to D&D & Ive played a few sessions & the DM loves the "Rule of Cool" stuff. For instance, my group allows is in a fire swamp & we find out that it has some kind of stat that legit allows us to TALK to it & convince it to not shoot us with its fire everytime we move. We pass the Check & crack up laughing. He loves Bad-A stuff & goes out of his way to accomadte it. My first ever DM & he's dope. 10/10.

Great pacing of play; very well balanced. Players have time to interact with the world without losing the plot of the story.

Jeff is fantastic, great story lines and flexibility that allows for player creativity which in turn makes the story adapt to the players. Have joined several one shots that Jeff has GM'ed over the year and have been waiting for him to run a campaign just because the game is nothing short of a blast whenever Jeff is at the helm. Cannot sing his praises enough; if you get the chance you need to experience what is guaranteed to be wild ride.

Goldsmith is an organized, prepared, and directionful DM. He has an excellent sence of pacing and emphasizes that through his use of DM tools. This is excellent for new players as well as players looking to get their money's worth out of a session. While he may not be super familiar with the intracicies of Roll20, he is open and accepting of feedback and empowers players to contribute both systemically and characteristically. The systems that he is familiar with, such as the interplay between D&D Beyond and Roll20, he uses to maintain story-pacing with little to no interruption. I would highly recommend taking any opportunity to play in one of Goldsmith's games.
