About me
I'm an experienced GM with over 10 years under my belt and am an absolute TTRPG fanatic. I love running games, mostly D&D 5e lately but I have experience in Pathfinder and a few others. I really love to perform and bring worlds and characters to life so I thought it might be my dream come true to go pro. I run inclusive, player-driven stories both homebrewed and adventure module. My table, both in-person and virtual, is a place for all to have fun and be themselves. I'm always open to fun ideas and while I love my rules and structure the rule of fun always applies. I put a lot of writing, work, and research into what I do as it's a legitimate passion of mine so you can expect me to be worth every penny. No matter who you are I would love to see you at my table.
GM Style
I love everything about tabletop gaming. I really put my heart and soul into character voices and roleplay. I'm a mimic and have a large array of voices and accents I'm capable of. I always do heavy research into rules so I can keep up with the crunchiest of players and love rule of fun for those that like a more relaxed experience. Expect good worldbuilding, memorable characters, great energy, and an open friendly GM.

Teacher
Jake provides incredible visual aids/storytelling/voices that exemplify the extremely experienced player/DM that he is, but he is simultaneously extremely open to new players and learners. He teaches the basics and sticks to the rules while also leaving wiggle room to preserve the fun of the experience.
Having played for over a year in several D&D campaigns with Joon as the DM. I can certainly say I've grown accustomed to the level of detail he brings to so many vital aspects of the tabletop roleplaying experience. From the art/battle maps he chooses, the music he compiles to fit the ranging scenes and locations, to his exceptional characterizations of non-player characters (the man has an accent rolodex in his head as far as I'm concerned). And plenty of little things he'll never explicitly state unless asked, that show you the passion he has for world building and facilitating an entertaining experience for all his players. Adding to that, I appreciate how he strikes a good balance between adhering to rules as written (which I prefer) but is also willing to work with his players' ideas on customizing a character they'd like to play without going too far into unbalanced territory. In fact, he could easily become the biggest cheerleader for your new character idea, and that is always heartening to see especially when you read other player's GM horror stories. I think players that are looking for a more combat oriented GM, roleplay heavy experience, or something in between. Will find that GM Joon is well suited for any part of that wide spectrum of preferred play styles.
As a first time player, I was not sure what to expect. Joon not only made me feel comfortable with the game but made the game come to life. He opened my eyes to a whole new world with his knowledge and creativity. His attention to detail and surprising twists and turns in the storyline time after time left me in awe of his ingenuity. Truly could not recommend Joon enough!!! The absolute best!
An excellent, top notch GM. Puts tons of time and effort into his stories and is very helpful with new players. Very talented at voice acting and breathes life into every session and character. Is very accustomed to running year long stories without things becoming muddled throughout its length. Out of the many GMs I've played with they were by far the most entertaining and I always look forward to our next sessions.
