About me

Hey all, my name is James. My background with D&D is pretty extensive and I'm excited to share it with you guys. I've been a player since I was 12 and DM since 20. I'm 35 now. I have played all the editions of D&D and pathfinder 1.0. I have run games in 3.5, 4e, 5e, and pathfinder. I'm on of those guys that's awkward in person but get me in a game and I'm in a good place.

GM Style

I listen to my players' background stories so I can help them incorporate some of the adventure and be apart of. When I run a module it's like I'm recalling a story I heard from a friend who heard it from a friend. I use the book as a base and customize it to fit my players. I have written modules and one shots, I've also ran pre-made modules.

Excellent at making beginners feel welcome. Makes an effort to integrate character backstory into the game, even when using published modules.

Jiggy rus a smooth game and allows players real freedom to choose without any railroading players into a set path. He explains the system and rules with calm and patience. Can't wait for the next session!

He explains things well and is conscientious about ensuring everyone is on the same page. He doesn't dumb a whole bunch of information on new players, just gradually builds them up.

It was just a good time in a setting "Forgotten Realms" that I have not gotten to RP in. Jiggy trained up in how to use the online system and was very patient. He imported our characters and has some nice house rules. Plus he wants to flesh out our individual back stories which is a big plus for me.

Fair GM who allows for player creativity. Knowledgeable about rules and new content coming out. Allows the story to progress based on the players actions. No railroads here!
