About me

Hey there, I’m know as Japes (Jay~ps) D&D started for me as a child with the Basic D&D Blue box set and my imagination went wild with ideas. Played throughout my teenager years, along with a few other TTRPGs. Move on a few years… and arrive in the winter of 2019 and 2020. At the time my lovely but precocious daughter was becoming a young woman and had starting her 'A levels' (UK exams). Which was giving me more spare time. This is where I ventured into running online D&D as a few friends wanted to keep playing. I was runnign one game and that turned into several and the ball was rolling. Along the way I’ve made some great friends and they have had a lot of fun. You’ll find Dyslexia rules KO here, as does a dry sense of humour. Pull up chair and get ready for an unforgettable journey!

GM Style

What makes a truly memorable game? I feel it happens when the players ideas spark that fun encounter so everyone has fun. It's where the story becomes a unique flavoursome thing that you help create. A big part of this is where the individual characters ‘panache’ mix together. Where no matter how you into trouble you work together to get yourselves out of there, hopefully with the loot. In game I like ‘Rules as Intended’ leaning towards ‘Rules as Fun’. For the 2024 D&D rules that means more “as written”. I say this as I’d already been playing many of the changes. Still plenty of room for your big brain idea, so do put it on the table as you hatch that plan. I’ll be listening and encourage you to try the idea if it seems plausible. All players, regardless of ethnicity, LGBT+ or other backgrounds (I'll add here that my daughter is part of the LGBT+ community) are warmly welcomed to this table. The only requirement is a shared respect for everyone, as we are here to have a blast. So embrace your creative side and be that Fairy Barbarian, Firbolg Monk or Orc Wizard you've always wanted to be!
