About me

Hello! I'm Jess! I’m a fantasy cartographer, lore keeper, player, and GM. What that means for me is that worldbuilding is important to me, I take thorough notes, silliness is required, and seriousness is important too! I'm a super flexible GM who operates by a rule of cool - if you can justify it, we can play it - but if you can bargain, so can I. I've been GMing for around 6 years and playing for even longer! TTRPG's have become such a huge and integral part of my life that honestly I don't think I could return to a life without it! If you're here for fun and games, so am I. Lets make something fun out of playing games together!

GM Style

I can’t say there isn’t a lot that I don’t like. I tend toward RP heavy play, with some combat peppered in. I’ll always work in a backstory, and play with a rule of cool. Homebrew is almost always welcome.

Jess is an awesome game designer who creates immersive, beautiful sandboxes and one-shots for you to play in! Her stories are exciting and heartfelt and will guarantee plenty of feels! She loves creativity and is a rule of cool GM allowing players so wiggle room to RP their hearts out in both serious and comedic settings! I am SO lucky to have her as a GM!!

Jess is amazing storyteller. They always set the tone for each session with a narritive recap that ensures to include every individual in a thoughtful way. They ensure a very safe and inclusive table, while encouraging openness and embracing new ideas. Their collection of homebrew options is staggering yet still open for more. Jess brings out the best in their players and I'm blessed to be one on the regular and you would be too. So stop second guessing and join one of their games now, thank me later.

Jess puts so much thought and preparation prior to the campaign and for each session! She collaborates with her players and makes sure that everyone has a safe and fun experience at the table. In my recent campaign with Jess, they've written thorough summaries before each session to make sure everyone knows where we left off and to help us keep track of important events. And on top of it all, Jess is a phenomenal role player who will "yes, and..." to awesome collaborative storytelling every time!

She has a fantastic way of adding so much depth to a town. It truly feels like it’s something that could exist in the real world.
