About me

Hey there! I'm TJ and I've been playing both table top and live action roleplaying games for over twenty years. I've also been running games D&D games since 2004, including several weekly campaigns stretching for months or even years. I've worked for several years as a preschool teacher, and love helping new players learn how to understand the rules and create their own stories. I look forward to DMing for you soon!

GM Style

I've got plenty of experience with different game styles, and can adapt to what the players of each game prefer. Are you looking for intrigue and suspense? I've got you. Looking for little-to-no RP and crunchy combat? I'm here for it. Looking to play four mutated turtles who learn karate from a ratling? Let's do it.

TJ does a great job running a rules-light game. Combat is fun and engaging. Starting with a higher stat array than standard really lets you feel like a hero from the start. He's very easy going and willing to work with you to make your best character.

I played in a high-level Vecna campaign and it was amazing. Every session was well-planned and full of exciting moments. The story kept us on the edge, and the true final twist was mind-blowing. I love high-level games. I highly recommend playing with TJ if you want a thrilling adventure with a great GM.

The experience with TJ was incredible. He does a good job of incorporating different elements into the game, which makes it fun for the types of players who enjoy battling or heavy role play. He's very creative and it shows in his story telling and roleplaying of NPCs. Highly recommend for anyone!

TJ is a phenomenal GM that creates a very chill atmosphere for his players. He keeps the game fun, light, and moving at a steady pace so that we always end at a reasonable time. He's flexible in working with you to create a character that you you wanna play every week and has a solid understanding of the rules. I highly recommend you check out one of TJ's games when you can.
