About Jason Martinez
Hello and welcome! I'm a long time gamemaster currently living in Sacramento (PST). I pride myself on structuring the plot around player character goals and personalities and delivering satisfying conclusions to games (especially campaigns). I've been running roleplaying games for over 30 years now from one shots to multiyear epics. In that time I've used everything from GURPS and World of Darkness to Apocalypse World and Fate to Microscope and Fiasco. As well as the various flavors and editions of D&D from 2nd edition on. I'm happy to run games in the system the story (or group) demands but my preference is for moderate to light crunch. I've game mastered virtually for well over a decade in addition to my in person games (both at home and at conventions).

How Jason Martinez runs games
I'm a collaborative gamemaster. Even in systems without a built in world building element, I try to built off player choices whenever possible. The character they build or choose, the relationships and backstories they establish, these all feed back into play. I tailor and adjust the stories based on the group's interests and introduce elements that will highlight their personalities and strengths. Beyond that I have few aspects of GMing that I really relish. I love to run interesting tactical combats that make characters struggle a bit. I'm always interested in helping player characters achieve personal arcs. I enjoy seeding mysteries and bits of lore that unlock a large picture of the world for those that unravel them. And most of all I love placing interesting choices in front of characters and seeing what they decide.
