About Jeremy

Greetings, adventurers! I am your Dungeon Master, a seasoned veteran of the realms since 1989. With a legacy spanning across the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th editions of this wondrous game, I have honed my craft as a storyteller since 1992. My world is one of inclusivity, where every hero, regardless of background, finds a place at the table. In my realm, safety and respect are paramount, ensuring that each quest is not only thrilling but also a sanctuary for all who dare to embark on this epic journey. So, ready your dice, sharpen your wits, for in my hands, the tapestry of adventure awaits to be woven with your deeds and choices. Welcome to a realm where legends are born and destinies unfold! Here are some of the reasons why joining one of my paid games can provide a superior experience: As a paid DM, I have the incentive to show up prepared and provide an outstanding gaming experience week after week. Charging a small fee per person virtually eliminates postponed sessions and busted campaigns due to player no-shows. People who are willing to pay a modest fee tend to approach the game with a more mature attitude, and typically don't quit impulsively when something doesn't go their way. Material costs associated with playing in a high-quality game are included. Players don't need to make any additional purchases in order to participate. Everything is included. Access to all relevant sourcebooks is provided free of charge via my compendium sharing. I purchase additional materials, such as high-quality maps, to make your gaming experience even better. Again, there is no extra charge to you. If you want to finish the campaign you start, then play with me!

I became a GM because

Initially because I was moving and my friends and I wouldn't get to play. This is back in the 90s pre internet days. So I learned how to DM and fell in love with it. I've not looked back since.

My favorite books are

I have a unique one I feel as I don't know many people who've read this author. My favorite book series is the Elenium by David Eddings. I found the books when I was in High School and fell in love with his writing style. I highly recommend any of his books.

When I'm not running games I'm...

I am constantly creating stories and scenarios to present to my players. I enjoy the world building aspect of D&D and the world i have created is 25yrs in the making. My world is mutable so every table has a unique experience.

How Jeremy runs games

As a Dungeon Master, my style is deeply rooted in the joy of storytelling and the art of creating immersive worlds where players can truly lose themselves. I have had the pleasure of teaching both the young and the old, guiding them through fantastical adventures and challenging encounters. Of key importance to me are: Fairness Rule of Cool Rich Narratives and Settings Inclusive Impactful Storytelling Fairness: One of the core principles that define my approach as a Dungeon Master is my commitment to maintaining a fair and unbiased environment. "Rule of Cool": While rules are essential for providing structure and consistency, I always default to the "rule of cool" when adjudicating them. This means that I prioritize fun, creativity, and player engagement over strict adherence to the rulebook. Rich Narratives and Settings: Creating a living, breathing world for my players is at the heart of my Dungeon Master style. I meticulously craft intricate settings, rich with detail and history, where players can explore, interact, and shape the course of their own destinies. Whether it's a bustling city teeming with diverse characters or a treacherous dungeon filled with hidden dangers, every corner of my world is designed to spark the imagination and draw players deeper into the narrative. Inclusive: Above all, fostering positive interactions with my players is paramount to me. I strive to cultivate a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute to the story. Impactful Storytelling: Whether it's through engaging roleplay, thoughtful character development, or epic battles that test their mettle, I aim to create memorable experiences that leave a lasting impact on each player. My Dungeon Master style is a blend of creativity, fairness, and player-centric storytelling. I aim to create unforgettable adventures that inspire and delight all who embark on them by embracing the rule of cool, crafting immersive worlds, and prioritizing positive interactions. Come join the fun!

Rules are...

a nice frame work that I use to craft stories. I try my best to stick to R.A.W but let's face it sometimes you just gotta go with your gut in a situation. All my efforts serve the story and players when it comes to rulings. You do something wild and it fits with your character then it's a go.

When it comes to voices

I do my best lol. Not a trained voice actor here but I work hard on making NPC distinct as I can. Some voice follow tropes, like my dwarves sound straight out of World of Warcraft lol.
