About Jacob
I’m Jacob, a passionate GM dedicated to crafting immersive, inclusive, and character-driven D&D 5E experiences. Whether you’re brand new to tabletop RPGs or a seasoned adventurer, my table is a space where your creativity, curiosity, and choices matter. Playing with my two sons has shaped how I run games. My games are welcoming, beginner-friendly, and tailored to each group’s energy, from silly and whimsical to serious and gritty.

When I'm not running games I'm...
When I’m not behind the GM screen, I’m likely reading a book, working on adventure ideas, or playing in one of the wildly imaginative sessions run by one of my kids.
How Jacob runs games
What You Can Expect New Player Friendly: I enjoy teaching new players and helping them fall in love with the game. If you’ve never played before, you’re in the right place. I explain the rules clearly, guide you through every step, and create a supportive space where questions are always welcome. Narrative Depth: Your character matters. I run games where choices have weight and the world responds. Tactical Combat: Expect challenging encounters that reward teamwork and smart thinking. Immersive Worlds: Whether in Faerûn or custom settings, I create reactive worlds full of detail, intrigue, and opportunity. In-Character Roleplay: While I don’t use dramatic voices, I bring NPCs to life through tone, expression, and meaningful dialogue. Safety: Session Zero, lines and veils, and open communication come standard. Everyone deserves to feel safe and seen.
Jacob's ideal table
My table is collaborative and supportive, with players who care about the story but don’t take themselves too seriously. Even in heavy or emotional moments, the vibe is focused, fun, and respectful. If you enjoy staying engaged, building off others’ ideas, and bringing a little curiosity and creativity to the game, you’ll fit right in.
