About me

I'm a chef who got into TTRPGs to unwind from my day job, now I'm working to make TTRPGs my day job too!

GM Style

I'm a longtime lover of tactical RPGs that veer toward the narrative side of things, and I take cues from legendary GM role models like Brennan Lee Mulligan and Chris Perkins. I'm a firm believer that investing in characters (and by extension, their players) is a one-way road toward a fun, entertaining game experience. The kinds of players I have the most fun with are: 🖤 Open & curious, with an enthusiasm about who their character is, and how they fit into the world; 🖤 A bit eccentric—weird & creative ideas are the stuff GM dreams are made of; 🖤 Social(-ish) folks who take an interest in their fellow players; 🖤 Kind, open-minded & respectful of others!

Inclusive, welcoming and above all FUN Game Master who guided this beginner through his first campaign with patience and kindness. He made my first time playing a TTRPG such an enjoyable experience by bringing to life beautiful worlds and stories, I can't wait to go again. Thanks Jon!!

Hands down the best GM I've played with. I have played multiple TTRPG systems with him and every time has been a fun and rewarding experience for our group. The world building and flavour provided really allow you to explore your characters and the emphasis is always on fun!

This GM has a vast knowledge and great ideas for world building. There was never a dull moment when playing with this GM.
