About me
Hey everyone! I've been a fan of TTRPGs off and on since college and I'm also been big into creating stories. As a novelist, I write fantasy stories. As a game master, I've found that I'm pretty good at improvising when things go off-script. I'm also a big nerd, which makes me open to a vast array of stories to tell. Marvel and Star Trek are some of my favorite franchises!
GM Style
I enjoy everything about TTRPGs, the roleplay, the combat, the fun things you can play with, expect it all! I will attempt character voices within reason.

Creativity
Jamesu87 is an absolute gem of a Game Master! His creativity and storytelling skills are top-notch, and he truly knows how to keep the group immersed and entertained. As a published writer, his ability to weave intricate plots and adapt to player actions is unmatched. He balances combat, roleplay, and exploration seamlessly, ensuring that every session feels dynamic and engaging. What really stood out was his knack for improvisation—when things went off-script (as they often do in TTRPGs), Jamesu87 didn't miss a beat and made those moments some of the most memorable in the campaign. His dedication to bringing characters to life with unique voices and personalities added so much flavor to the game. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to TTRPGs, Jamesu87 creates a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone at the table. His passion for Marvel, Star Trek, and storytelling shines through in every session. Worth every penny and then some—I can't wait to book another game with him!
Fantastic DM! He’s super enthusiastic and makes every session so much fun. He sets the mood perfectly with voices and music, and he’s also really kind and makes sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. I was brand new to D&D, and he made it so easy to understand and get into. You couldn’t ask for a better DM!
His adventures with all of his Gming involved is fantasic. The adventures and the associated adventures with a special Halloween event included in fact was an interesting twist. Plus just the sheer amount of different adventures that he gives out is great and the fact that I get to use my same character if I want to is so much fun. Then amount of fun on the adventures are great to see how they handle it and the quick overall response to an encounter is great. Besides overall I think he does a great job of letting new players know about things and clarifying questions in any regard.
