About me

My approach to people is upbeat and helpful, above all. 😸 My stories are dynamic with strong pacing and atmosphere. I believe in the "Rule of Cool" and the motto "Roll Less, Do More." I am a voracious reader (fiction and nonfiction) and an aspiring adventure module writer. I come with decades of knowledge spanning a multifarious range of RPG systems and editions. My GM resume includes: - Youtube appearances with The Gauntlet RPG Community - Dragon Con (massive in-person convention) - A Weekend With Good Friends (online horror convention) - RPG Nook (online horror community) - ATLRPG (weekly in-person meetups 🥳) My favorite games tend toward horror (like Candela Obscura), old-school fantasy (like Shadowdark RPG), and games with lots of improv (like Blades in the Dark).

GM Style

I believe in a relaxed, approachable environment at my table. I'm great at listening to players and managing the spotlight effectively, offering helpful options, and saying "yes, and" in the most empowering way. My character voices are improving as of late, and I've been told many of my NPCs are actually entertaining! 😸 I love improv, and the challenge of reacting to surprises that players often provide.

I'm currently playing my second campaign with Jeremy, and I highly recommend him. Our sessions are always memorable and immersive. He is incredibly patient with players of all skill levels, and is open and adaptable to different playing styles. I cannot stress enough how patient and helpful he is. He is understanding and considerate, so if you are totally new, he would definitely provide an enjoyable introductory experience. He respects the player's autonomy and truly works with the party to create epic, dynamic scenes, some of which are the best I have ever played. He is an inspiration for me when I GM my own sessions. Thank you Jeremy for all the unforgettable moments! I look forward to more!

Jeremy's table was the second one I ever joined on StartPlaying; and I still play with him over a year later. He's incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient. All of the TTRPGs he runs are unique and entertaining; they are always a blast and really relaxed. He knows how to create a safe and welcoming vibe. Jeremy knows the rules but also encourages the "rule of cool," so we can be creative with our characters. *HIGHLY* recommend as a GM :)

Jeremy was phenomenal. I've been playing ttrpgs for twenty five years and a forever GM for over ten of those years. I struggle often as a player because I find myself indulging too much in "I would have made a different choice." While playing with Jeremy I felt none of that. You won't be disappointed playing with Jeremy!

Knowledgeable about the rules and happy to answer questions, was able to improv well based on the ideas the players gave him.

Had a real blast playing a CoC one-shot. Definitely a unique, more light-hearted version of the game, but it worked.
