About Jack Panic | DNGN CLUB

Hi, I'm Jack (aka DNGN CLUB). I'm an indie game designer and longtime Game Master, and I'm so ready to run your game! I’ve been running TTRPGs for almost two decades. I’m passionate about creating cinematic, collaborative, and emergent storytelling experiences where we can escape into different characters and build a sense of community. When I run a campaign, I strive to create a unique and dynamic experience where the players drive the narrative. I tailor the game to each player’s individual playstyle and ensure everyone gets a chance to shine. The world I present is alive and constantly evolving—your choices and actions will have a real impact. I build a shared worldspace with my players, where we develop lore and locations together. I welcome players of all experience levels, orientations, and backgrounds. I create high-quality visuals, custom systems, and minigames every week to keep each session feeling like a unique experience.

I think metagaming...

is an important part of the RPG experience, in the meta we as Players get to observe the fiction and collaborate on its direction as a group.

I think min/maxing...

Building optimized characters is fun and a valid way to play RPGs. Everyone likes things a little different and all play styles can co-exist fruitfully!

My table is not the place for...

Fascist, Bigots, and Jerks.
