About TJ
I've been a Game Master for 7 years, primarily running Dungeons & Dragons 5e, with some experience in Dungeon Crawl Classics and Daggerheart. I love crafting immersive worlds where player choices matter—whether it's a gritty dungeon delve, an epic political intrigue, or a chaotic, meme-fueled adventure. Player engagement is my top priority. I aim to make every session dynamic, ensuring that combat, exploration, and roleplay all shine. I tailor each game to my players’ preferences, blending improv, deep lore, and cinematic encounters to create memorable experiences. I've run everything from one-shots to long-term campaigns and welcome both newcomers and experienced players. If you're looking for a GM who brings the world to life while keeping the game fun, balanced, and engaging—let’s roll some dice!

I got started GMing...
After watching Critical Role’s first campaign, I picked up D&D 5e to run a custom world for friends. Creating unique, heartfelt memories through storytelling is what made me fall in love with TTRPGs.
How TJ runs games
I run engaging, player-driven adventures where your choices shape the story. Whether you love deep roleplay, tactical combat, or just causing a bit of chaos, I make sure every session has something for everyone. Roleplay-Friendly: I encourage in-character interactions and love weaving player backstories into the world. I don’t do exaggerated voices for every NPC, but I make sure each one feels distinct and memorable. Balanced Combat: I enjoy tactical combat with meaningful decision-making, but I don’t bog things down with unnecessary rules-lawyering. Fights should be exciting, challenging, and rewarding—not just a numbers game. Flexible Storytelling: I prepare strong foundations but adapt based on player choices. I enjoy sandbox-style exploration, player-driven problem-solving, and moments where the game surprises me just as much as the players. New & Experienced Players Welcome: I’ve run games for all experience levels, from total beginners to veteran players. Whether you want to optimize your build or just have fun with a wild idea, I’ll make sure you feel at home at the table. Expect a mix of deep lore, cinematic moments, and a bit of humor, all tied together in a way that keeps the story moving and the table engaged. If that sounds like your kind of game, let’s roll some dice!
TJ's ideal table
My table is all about shared storytelling, laughter, and connection. I value players who are excited to roleplay, explore their characters, and help build the world alongside me. You don’t need to be a professional voice actor or improv expert—just bring a willingness to engage and lean into the moments, whether they’re silly, heartfelt, or somewhere in between. Consistency and respect are key. I’m looking for players who can reliably commit to scheduled sessions and who show mutual respect for each other, the rules, and the shared story we’re creating. I cherish the balance of humor and heart—sessions where we laugh hard, get invested in each other’s characters, and leave with memories that stick. If you enjoy collaborative roleplay, light rules structure, flavorful worldbuilding, and a GM who celebrates your creativity, you’ll fit right in at this table.
