About me

I'm building an expansive RPG world, a multiverse that merges fantasy, sci-fi, cyperpunk, and philosophical bends. I am looking to run more games to further develop, receive feedback on, and fund my game launch. I also run games for D&D. Being a Game Master is my passion—I love weaving stories on the fly and embracing the unexpected twists my players create. I craft the world, and you bring the story to life. Let’s dive in, have fun, and create an epic adventure together! Most games are currently run virtually, but in-person games are available at an appropriate public location for $50 per player per session.

GM Style

I love roleplay and combat. I tend to let my players have a lot of freewill and creative expression within games, but I will set boundaries around how we treat each other and not let the game get too far off track.

I had a ton of fun having MJ as my DM. There was lots of respect and open communication. Everyone within the group had lots of laughs and moments to really engage with the NPCs story.

MJ is a versatile, multidimensional genius who is known for being highly engaging, tailoring games to players, providing twists, turns, and delights, and draws upon an extensive repertoire of NPC characters. Highly sensitive to player needs, desires, and motivations. Gifted at weaving narratives, creating exquisite storytelling tapestries, authoring novel settings, and communicating tones ranging from dramatic to hilarious. This GM is truly unlike any other and guaranteed to create memorable experiences.

MJ is a truly fantastic DM. I've never played in a true homebrew campaign before, but her setting is easily one of my favorites of all time. Between atmosphere setting, world building, and her voices, every session is packed with engaging concepts and captivating characters. I also play alongside her in another campaign, and you can tell part of what makes her such a great DM is her passion for the game itself. Her character is a lot of fun and very multi-dimensional, just like her own campaign. I highly recommend booking with MJ. You'll join a story that will blow your mind, meet characters that will make you feel every emotion under the sun and play a setting you'll never forget.

If you’ve ever wanted to play in a multiverse where DnD meets A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, MJ is the DM for you! MJ’s homebrew is super creative and unique, from the large scale of the world down to the smallest details of the environment. You can tell that every NPC has been rendered with love and thoughtful design. MJ sets the mood so well with music, voice acting, and storytelling! You will laugh, have fun, stretch your imagination, and get immersed every session, all while unraveling epic mysteries.

MJ is an awesome DM. She’s a super creative storyteller and really encourages her players to get just as creative with their characters. She builds amazing stories in her own world and ties in character backstories in a way that makes everything feel connected. She’s super patient with new players but also makes sure the more experienced folks are having a great time too. I’ve been lucky enough to play in her games for a few years now and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I’ve also had the chance to DM for her, and she’s an incredible roleplayer—which definitely shows in how she runs her own games.
