About me

Hi there! I’m known as Japes (Jay~ps). My journey with D&D began as a kid with the Basic D&D Blue Box set, which just fired up my imagination. I kept playing through my teenage years, along the way dabbling in other TTRPGs. Fast forward to the winter of 2019-2020: my wonderful but spirited daughter was busy with her A-levels (UK exams), which freed up some time for me. That’s when I started running D&D games online, initially for friends who wanted to keep playing. One game quickly grew into several, and before I knew it, the ball was rolling! Through it all, I’ve made amazing friends and shared countless laughs and adventures. Here, you’ll find that Dyslexia rules KO (you’ll see!) and a dry sense of humour reigns supreme. So pull up a chair, and let’s dive into an unforgettable journey!

GM Style

What makes a game truly unforgettable? For me, it’s when players’ ideas ignite those fun, unexpected moments that make everyone laugh, cheer, and dive deeper into the story. It’s about crafting a unique and flavourful tale together, where each character’s flair adds to the mix. No matter how much trouble you get into, you’ll work as a team to get out - ideally with some loot in hand! When it comes to rules, I lean towards “Rules as Intended” with a side of “Rules as Fun.”. I’ve found that the 2024 D&D rules work really well just as written. Even so there’s always room for your clever plans and big ideas. If it’s plausible, I’ll encourage you to give it a shot. Everyone is warmly welcomed at this table, no matter your ethnicity, background, or identity. (Fun fact: my daughter is part of the LGBT+ community!) All I ask is mutual respect for one another, so we can focus on having an amazing time. So bring your creativity to the table and embrace your dream character, whether that’s a Fairy Barbarian, Firbolg Monk, or Orc Wizard. Let’s make some magic happen!
