About DuChampion (JJ)

"Grab a hot drink, a seat around the fire, and listen to my cowboy song." "Comfortable? Good! Now, before we get started, I want you all to know that I tell my tales for your enjoyment and pleasure... so please respect each other and don't enter this area if you desire to cause another harm. If someone's pain is your objective or entertains you... You won't make it past the opening credits of our story." [About me: Having been in (often teaching) the Arts for over 25 years, I really enjoy teaching, and I understand how and love to foster creativity in players!] --Experienced GM/DM/ST for roughly 35 years. I have professionally run hundreds of games over multiple systems. In that time, I have learned that it is the players' story and I am just here to facilitate that experience and make it run smoothly and be as entertaining as possible. I see game rules as a way to keep on track and involved...I never let them get in the way of creativity or the group's enjoyment! I came to StartPlaying looking to run some serious and/or seriously fun sessions. My story telling style is light and flows easy. I do not let the mechanics detract from the experience, but use them to enhance the story you want to be told! Teaching new systems to new players is an experience I enjoy. We were all new players, or new to a system at one time...and without kind and proper guidance we probably wouldn't still be involved in this amazing pastime! Roll well and see ya around!

How DuChampion (JJ) runs games

I run a variety of games and stories designed to fill the void in your gaming life!! I pride myself on making every session collaborative and consequential. I believe that storytelling is a two-way conversation. I work with you to weave your character’s story into the world we build together, framing key plot moments around what you and your fellow players want. I want your actions to have a real impact—if you choose a path of violence, the world will respond accordingly. If you strive to be a hero, you’ll earn recognition—but also enemies. The choices you make will shape your character and the world around them. I look forward to seeing what we create together.
