About Jerry (acropolis)

I grew up in the north, attended college in Boston before moving down south. When I’m not obsessing over new games and systems I explore State and National Parks. In 2020, during COVID I joined Roll20, found a great group of friends and began my TTRPG journey. We began playing D&D 5e then moved into games like Dragonbane and others. Now, I’m the go to "Shadowdark GM" for our discord server and I'm writing my own adventures. My games generally follow the rules of the system but I do follow the rule of cool when it makes sense. I'm accepting of those that are accepting in turn and like to offer a game and group that all feel comfortable.

Jerry (acropolis) 's ideal table

I like to keep it light and happy with everyone having a voice and opportunity to influence the story or adventure. Every player at my table should feel comfortable and able to respectfully communicate things they are uncomfortable with and be heard.

Featured Prompts

My table is not the place for...

Hateful thoughts, politics or religious views. These games are meant to be enjoyable and allow us all to escape reality for a few hours and constantly bringing up current events tend to muck that up.
