About me

Hello, I am Jacob from Avenue Studios, a place where we play games and share our stories with others. We have a few shows out there on the interwebs, including one that I run called Jacob’s Laboratory. At the end of this bio I will put in a few links to our shows. I am excited to a full time LM that supports a family of 6. I have been a TTRPG player and a legend-master for over 12 years. A big thing I have enjoyed over the years is getting to know the communities based around many different systems and settings in the entire TTRPG community. It brings me joy to watch players work together to overcome challenges, both self inflicted and ones that I create. As a Legend Master, I tend to lean to "yes let's put a roll to it" kind of attitude. I love to see creativity and will stretch the RAW a little for "rule of cool". I do like to keep things moving but will slow down pace to help new people learn the system. I do not play against my players, but with them. I do not care for the DM(GM)(LM) vs the players. The biggest thing I like to see at my table is others enjoying the TTRPG world. https://www.youtube.com/c/AvenueStudios https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnqal-SloKLVWDIa-iahfXCJK7RFbHN39 https://open.spotify.com/show/355HN6qtFfO6jaZzIEgXtV?si=1aac3be00f9340b4 https://open.spotify.com/show/6zmqaQ9owxPm5FUq7uHVUH?si=d6cabafc88d54473


GM style

I love all three pillars of TTRPG and want to run my games that has a mix of exploration, combat, and role playing. I love having maps, but can really appreciate theater of the mind.
