About Jacob Barlow
I've been a GM for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition since the year of its inception and have been passionately running games for all my friends since! I'm a famous over-prepper and strive to deliver the coolest, most immersive experience I can for everyone at my tables. :)

When I'm not running games I'm...
Preparing for them, writing my own stories, and sharing love and kindness amidst my kith and kin.
How Jacob Barlow runs games
I'm a super narrative-focused GM who LOVES introducing NPC's who always have their own stuff going on! While I do also thoroughly enjoy combats, I more-so enjoy adding narrative complications, side-challenges, or nonconventional obstacles to spice it up so it never feels like a slogging numbers game!
Featured Prompts
I deal with rules issues by...
Deciding what's fair, fun, and most contributes to telling the best story.
My favorite trope is...
Sad dads, gentle giants, and love that could never be.
When it comes to voices
I'm simply one of the best.
