About me
I am a fun over anything else kind of Gamemaster. I am excited to introduce new people to the concept of a TTRPG, and I am excited to surprise experienced players with challenging conflicts to overcome.

GM Style
I enjoy using player character backstory, goals, bonds, and flaws to bolster the stories and battles. Of the three major pillars, Roleplaying, Exploration, and Combat, I focus on what the players enjoy the most for their campaigns. I enjoy playing NPCs that interact with the Player Characters often, and I do my best to voice them as closely as I can to the sound they should have. NPCs and the world react to the players decisions, and moves on its own too. With Boss Battles I use an MMO mechanic called Telegraphed Attacks, which are AOE attacks that don't activate until the next round. This forces PCs to move around a lot more, something 5e doesn't normally need you to do. I keep battle mechanics thematic, Lair Actions and Telegraphed Attacks should match the stages and enemies you're fighting, giving you more options to use your action on other than just dealing damage.

Storytelling
He knows how to guide the players back into the story if we tend to go off track. We weren't even aware that we had gone off track it was that seamless. He also realy knows how to give the NPCs a life of their own, making you feel for them and want to invest your time with and for them.
Always a great time with Jake as the GM. He fully utilizes all that the VTT has to offer, such as particle effects and ambience sound in Foundry. He is very helpful and flexible during character creation. His instructions are clear and he is always prepared for the session. It's also a blast to hear all the voices Jake comes up with for his NPCs.
Jake spends an ungodly amount of effort making sure each of his players have interesting story beats to follow. He's always open to feedback and takes player engagement very seriously. I've been a player in one of his games for about 2 years now and he's consistently topping himself in quality sessions.
