About me

Hello! My name is Jeremy, and I am absolutely obsessed with TTRPGs. I have been a player for almost ten years and a game master for the past four. I have a good deal of 5e knowledge, but the bulk of my experience is with the Pathfinder 1e system. I just can't resist the crunch! I have four kids, a lovely wife who is almost as into TTRPGs as I am, and the most chill dog you'd ever meet. I am an avid Dimension 20 fan, with Brennan Lee Mulligan being my number one GM roll model. I do enjoy running established Adventure Paths, but I love tying the story into the characters so that the PCs are the true stars. My table is open and welcome to everyone. I firmly believe that proper use of safety tools actually makes the game the best it can possibly be. Look forward to adventuring with you!

GM Style

I don't make any claim to be a voice actor but I do enjoy playing up some wild NPC personalities. I love the crunch of highly tactical combat but can also work with a group that wants to feel like superheroes, mowing down enemies with ease. I use Discord for voice, Syrinscape for immersive music and sound effects, and Roll20 for video.

Jeremy was the GM for my very first Dungeons & Dragons experience and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the game! I was really nervous about being a newbie - both to the game and to the group - but Jeremy was incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging. I never felt like I was a hindrance to my fellow players (or Jeremy!) and I felt fully comfortable speaking up to ask questions about the gameplay mechanics and the story. Jeremy's storytelling and world-building are top-notch, his character voices are so fun, and he somehow magically manages to let the party have a lot of creative freedom (from picking fights to going on fully impromptu sidequests) while also maintaining the "rules" of the world and plot of the story. I think that beginners and seasoned players alike will find his flexible-yet-structured style helpful with the former appreciating a sturdy foundation on which to learn and the latter appreciating the same sturdy foundation as a base for all manner of creativity. I hope to play many more campaigns with Jeremy in the future!

Jeremy has been my GM for over 3 years now. I played my first ever TTRPG game at his table. He was able to assist me in character creation and with understanding the crunch that is the pathfinder 1e rules system. He knows the rules well but will also allow for some player creativity. He does well at incorporating players stories into already established APs and making the world our own. He also using a good amount of safety tools and has been more than willing to make changes as needed.

I've played with Jeremy for a little over 5 years and been a player of his for 3. He has always had a passion for making the games entertaining and enjoyable for everyone. From custom world building, to assisting with questions and making sure that he knows the rules and how he wishes to run them; Jeremy is very involved with the creations that he and all of us made in the world. He is willing to learn and listen when there may be conflict between decisions or choices requested. Overall it has been a pleasure to play with him and for him over the years.

I really like that Jeremy checks in with players to make sure they're feeling comfortable. He's very knowledgeable of the games he runs, not just on the rules but on the world, and he's able to use that knowledge to come up with things on the fly. I also love that he continuously encourages, and rewards, private player feedback.
