About Jesse, The Elder
I am a Canadian actor studied in Theater Performance. I originally got into Tabletop Roleplay during college and have been playing ever since. From trying a bunch of different systems during college, I landed on a homebrew of the D6 system (basically we only roll six sided dice). I find it's easy for new players to learn and allows for the most malleable character creation. I have a focus on roleplaying and run a Sandbox Dungeon Master style (that is where my players play in the world and I'm just along for the ride). I'm really looking for players who are wanting to have a fun experience and commit to the characters that they create. I prefer play on Tabletop Simulator for the 3D miniatures as well as voice over discord. Write your own story! Can't wait to meet you!

I got started GMing...
through my college friends and that experience back in 2014. Starting in person, I remember the days of getting my hands covered in marker dust from map-making. I've found that virtual GMing is a lot of convenient clean up because I just can hit save!
People are always surprised when I tell them
that I am Canadian! I guess I seem American (which I may be half living right on the Canadian / American border).
When I'm not running games I'm...
playing strategy games. My all time favorites are XCOM, Final Fantasy Tactics, Dark Cloud 2. I'm currently playing Jurassic World Evolution 2 (think Roller Coaster Tycoon but for dinosaurs).
How Jesse, The Elder runs games
I'm an actor by trade, so fun and creative characters is where I excel. I also love building character backstory through the Timeline method, which really allows both player and DM to understand the character beyond typical means. I play within Sandbox, which means I present the Campaign or main mission of how all of these characters have come together, and then I leave world exploring to my players. If my party wants to play darts in a tavern for the whole session, then that's what happens. The power is in the players.
