About John Duesenberry II

Hello my name is John (he/him). I have been running games for more than 20 years mainly in Dungeons and Dragons. I love gaming, especially the roleplaying part of the game. I've quietly created a world over that time is thriving and spirited. I am an active DM at my local game store. I also love comic books and art.

How John Duesenberry II runs games

The world that I have created is called Spring Water. Think The Godfather meets Middle Earth. I love Roleplay and I reward it. I have created a reputation mechanic with each of the major families in my world along with subclasses, races, and backgrounds that are compatible with PHB 2024. I love fun and imaginative play.
