About Griffin Jones
Hi there! I'm a GM who thrives on crafting memorable stories and helping players discover what makes tabletop roleplaying so special. I currently run Daggerheart, Mothership, and the official Stormlight Archive RPG, and I love exploring the unique tone and mechanics each game brings to the table. Whether you're new to RPGs or a seasoned player looking for something fresh, I aim to create a space where your character choices matter and the story responds to your actions. My style leans collaborative and player-focused. I enjoy weaving character backstories into the narrative and giving players agency to shape the world around them. I’m especially drawn to games that encourage creativity and experimentation, which is why I also run and play a lot of indie RPGs. If you’re into one-shots or short campaigns, I’ve got a soft spot for Lasers & Feelings and its many hacks, Hypermall Unlimited Violence, and Slugblaster. These games are fast-paced, imaginative, and perfect for players who want to dive into something wild and different. I believe every group has its own rhythm, and part of the joy of GMing is discovering that rhythm together. I’m here to help new players feel comfortable and confident, and to give experienced players a chance to try something outside their usual genre. Whether you want heartfelt character drama, chaotic sci-fi action, or a surreal mall heist with hoverboards and laser swords, I’ve got you covered. Thank you!

It has to be under 300 char Big fan of twisty plots, gritty futures, and epic quests. Think Mr. Robot meets Blade Runner with a dash of Ocean’s 11 and a whole lot of Lord of the Rings. I love fantasy, sci-fi, and stories that get weird, wild, and a little bit dark. Let’s build something unforgettabl
How Griffin Jones runs games
My games are built around creativity and collaboration. I love when players come up with unexpected solutions, wild contraptions, clever spells, or off-the-wall plans to tackle challenges. Whether you're trying to outwit a hostile alien in Mothership, navigate political intrigue in Stormlight Archive, or pull off a hoverboard heist in Slugblaster, I’ll support your ideas and help them shine. I design encounters that reward experimentation and lateral thinking. You won’t always find a single “right” answer just opportunities to get weird, get clever, and make your mark on the world. Roleplay is a big part of that. I encourage players to explore their characters’ personalities, motivations, and relationships, and I love weaving those details into the story. Expect strange settings, unusual NPCs, and scenarios that invite you to ask, “What if we tried something totally different?” I’ll meet you there with flexible mechanics, narrative support, and a sense of humor. Whether you’re a planner or a chaos agent, there’s room at the table for your style.
