About me

Come get your fix with one of the best games of your life! DND with voice acting, animated maps, rich visuals. I craft immersive, character-driven experiences full of intrigue, vivid imagery, improvised voice acting, memorable characters, and text RP between sessions. Guaranteed to laugh and cry, I will pull your heart strings, make you love and hate my characters, heighten your triumphs and help you fail spectacularly. Whether you're new to the game or a veteran adventurer, I am here to entertain you. My thrill is in sharing the moment. Super affordable, experienced, and always focused on giving you value. If you're looking for refined and unforgettable experiences, Let’s roll the dice and embark on this journey together!

GM Style

If you’re looking for speed and variety, come play with us! My goal is to create one of the best games of your life. My games are fast paced, heavy role-play, chewy intrigue, crunchy battles, highly visual, and top tier fun. Each session is paced to have multiple highs and lows. Hundreds of NPC’s populate the world, multiple dilemmas per session, quests in any direction, tied to a living breathing world, always tailored to your character and party goals. Voice Acting Samples: https://www.tiktok.com/@dmgtjon Media Samples: https://imgur.com/user/DMJon 😅 Any module: Got a story or game you’ve been wanting to try? You name it and I will run it with flare and flavor! From grimdark to high fantasy, I do all the themes. 🤩 Character-Driven: I make custom content every week. NPC’s from every walk of life will keep you on your toes and test your mettle! 😎 Rule of Cool: Don’t get bogged down by the system. Players make the game. Your dice and choices dictate most of what happens. 🔥 Power Progress: Feats, pets, items, factions, spells! Many custom tailored and will surprise you! 🤓 Story Arc: Sessions always focus on short, medium, and long term goals. Everything at your disposal can affect the outcome! 🎭 Voices & Media: I craft hundreds of voices, images, maps, vignettes, and curated playlists. My games are vivid and not dependent on theater of the mind. ⚔️ Combat & Battles: Expect dynamic encounters, deadly bosses, creative solutions, limit breaks, dire consequences, and massive faction battles. 🎁 With a bow on top: Every session is memorialized in a 1-page illustration and narrative summary. At the end of the campaign, you receive a storybook of the whole adventure. This is my heartfelt homage to the time we shared. And a way to enjoy the whole experience again, years later. ❤️🔥🤘

Exactly what you're looking for in a DM. Really lets you do what you want. There's a story that he wants to tell, but has no problem exploring your ideas. Really lets you do your thing and doesn't force you down a path. He's great at improv and voice acting. Great with the group out of character as well. Couldn't recommend this DM enough. Looking forward to additional Campaigns.

John is easily one of the best DM's I have ever played with. An incredible individual who listens, plans meticulously and can work in ideas on the fly. An extremely intelligent guy with a heart of gold, I highly, highly suggest playing with him whenever an opportunity arrises.

I've been having a fantastic time playing with DM Jon. He always creates a fun, encouraging, and immersive environment. He does great voices for various characters and really makes multiple people in the story come alive. I would highly encourage anyone just getting into DND or people with a lot of experience to play with Jon, as he's brought me many hours of enjoyment.

I enjoyed the storytelling and excellent voices. Very rules loose style. The VTT style with Arkenforge and being unable to move your token/interact isn't for me personally.

I had a lot of fun in a lvl 11 one-shot. The DM is willing to work with you on tactics and we were able to pick some fun items to make the slaughter and murder hobo-ing parts of the adventure a blast. I enjoyed the maps! There were animated effects that added to the game! Definitely would play another one-shot whenever I have the time and one is scheduled!
