About James

I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs for around three years and have spent the last year running games as a Dungeon Master. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into an intense passion for building stories with friends and strangers, and creating spaces where players can relax, have fun, and fully immerse themselves in a shared world. My DM style focuses on player agency, character development, and cinematic moments. I enjoy helping new players learn the game just as much as challenging experienced ones with meaningful choices and memorable encounters. I also run a small company using TTRPG's to help neurodivergent children aged 11-17 buildout social confidence.

How James runs games

My games are built around collaborative storytelling, player agency, and immersive roleplay, where your character’s choices genuinely shape the world and the story moving forward. I aim to create sessions that feel cinematic, engaging, and welcoming, whether you’re completely new to D&D or a seasoned player. Combat in my games matters. Encounters are designed to feel tense and rewarding rather than filler fights

Rules are...

Cool and all but if a player has an idea that is so incredible and rewarding, rules have to go in the bin for that moment and player to shine

James's ideal table

My style as a GM is relaxed and player-driven. If something is creative, entertaining, and doesn’t take away from another player’s experience, I’m usually happy to let the chaos unfold. Some of the best moments in tabletop games come from players trying something completely unexpected. That said, my main goal is always to tell a great story together and everyone's enjoyment is paramount
