About Jacob

Hello, I'm Jacob and I've been GMing Dungeon and Dragons and Pathfinder for around 15 years and dabbled with a few other ttrpg's like LANCER which I'm currently diving headlong into.

Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

I love tabletop rpg's and the ability craft a world and story and then have my players not only experience it but also leave their mark on it and be able to tell their own stories.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Innovative, Imaginative, Knowledgeable

When I'm not running games I'm...

I'm listening audiobooks or podcasts, playing video games and hanging out with my cat, or prepping for the next session.

How Jacob runs games

I like to try and strike a balance between fun roleplay and narrative storytelling with high stakes tactical combat encounters. I like to give my players agency to shape the story and their characters place in it the way they want to.

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

Coming up a compromise everyone at the table can agree with or coming up with a quick table rule to keep the game flowing that can be adjusted later.

My games focus on...

Player agency and high stakes challenges.

Rules are...

A flexible guideline for how the game should be ran, sometimes one or two should be bent for the sake of the story or to make the table more fun.

Jacob's ideal table

I like to keep my table fun and make sure everybody is having a good time, while also enjoying a challenging encounter or some narrative play.

Featured Prompts

I am for a vibe that's...

fun and friendly, as well as collaborative.

I love it when a player

Becomes invested in their character and the story, its a good feeling when you end a session and your players start discussing future plans for their characters or strategizing on how to get out whatever predicament they're in.

I think min/maxing...

Is not an issue, I think that characters should be good at their jobs and the stronger they are the more crazy stuff I can throw at them.
