About me

Hey Guys! I'm Jacen, I am a 27-Year-old student/aspiring Teacher. I was born and raised in Oregon and Washington. I grew up loving fantasy and Sci-fi, playing Video Games, and reading a ton of books. Today, I’m a dedicated storyteller and game master with three years of DM experience and five years of involvement in tabletop RPGs. I began my journey with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, first as a player in a long-running campaign with close friends. Those early sessions ignited a love for collaborative storytelling and character-driven narratives, eventually inspiring me to step behind the screen. Since then, I’ve been running The Quiet Year, a rich, homebrew campaign that has grown into an expansive fantasy saga filled with political intrigue, generational legacies, and deeply personal player arcs. As a DM, I prioritize immersion, emotional storytelling, and player agency, I love weaving character choices directly into the fabric of the world, watching it evolve alongside the party. My background as a writer and educator also influences my approach, helping me create inclusive spaces where players feel safe, seen, and empowered to explore their stories. I’ve had the privilege of guiding both new and veteran players through high-stakes encounters, heartfelt moments, and everything in between. For me, tabletop RPGs are more than just games, they’re a powerful form of creative expression, connection, and community-building.

GM Style

In my games, players can expect a rich blend of character-driven storytelling, immersive worldbuilding, and emotionally grounded roleplay. I thrive on deep narrative arcs where player choices carry real weight and shape the world around them—whether you’re unearthing ancient conspiracies, navigating political betrayal, or wrestling with personal demons. I love roleplay and lean into it heavily, with dynamic NPCs, evolving relationships, and storylines that adapt based on character actions. While combat isn’t constant, when it happens, it’s tactical, meaningful, and high-stakes—every encounter serves the narrative. I’m comfortable running both official Dungeons & Dragons modules and fully homebrewed content, often blending the two for a unique experience tailored to the group. I design moments that spark tension, joy, heartbreak, and triumph—those unforgettable sessions where the table goes silent or erupts in cheers. Furthermore, I welcome all player types, from the role-play-forward bard to the big-hearted barbarian, and I aim to make everyone feel like their story matters. If you're looking for a campaign full of heart, consequence, and a world that remembers you, I’d love to help bring your adventure to life.
