About Gawd Mode

Hey there, adventurer! I'm Jason, aka Gawd Mode, and I’ve been crafting unforgettable tabletop experiences as a GM for over a decade. My journey with StartPlaying began in 2022. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of building epic, immersive stories alongside incredible players. Player immersion and agency is my top priority, I make sure every character has a meaningful place in the world we build together. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or brand new to a game, I’ll help find every way to weave your backstory seamlessly into the overarching narrative. I believe that every session should be fun, memorable, and full of moments worth sharing years down the line. If you’re looking for a GM who blends storytelling, dynamic encounters, and a touch of homebrew flair, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s roll some dice and create something legendary! Get an idea of the experience that awaits you in our games with this snippet from my Garycon Live oneshot: https://youtu.be/VKctXc_E7n8?t=2995 Feel free to come and join our friendly and welcoming Discord community to get game updates, meet other players, and more: https://discord.com/invite/X2DwYYH

I got started GMing...

In 2016 with Call of Cthulhu 7th edition! Have since moved on to run D&D and other systems. Lots of XP gained, but always room to gain more.

My favorite shows/movies are

LOST, Dragonball, Buffy, Hannibal, Stranger Things

When I'm not running games I'm...

Building homebrew mechanics, developing more details to flesh out our game worlds, and working on updating Gacha Gimmix!

How Gawd Mode runs games

### Session Breakdown ### • Sessions run roughly 3 hours with no formal breaks, feel free to grab snacks or step away as needed. • I’ve invested heavily in Roll20’s marketplace, so expect beautiful maps, immersive music, and ambient soundscapes to enhance your adventure. • A minimum of 3 players is required for most Session 0's to establish a solid group dynamic. If 2 or more players are absent for a session, I’ll typically check in with those available to decide whether we play or reschedule. ### DM/GM Style ### Laid back, chill experience. We're here to roll dice and have fun. I love getting to know my players! Feel free to message me on Discord or here on SP if you want to chat about your character or the campaign. ### Attendance Policy ### Life happens, and I get that! If you’ll be late or need to miss a session, please let me know as soon as possible. • You’ll never be charged for a session you don’t attend. • If your attendance drops below 75% after the first month, I’ll check in to discuss options. If we can’t find a solution, I may ask you to step away until your schedule allows for more consistency. ### Failed Payments ### This rarely happens, but if it does, I’ll reach out so we can sort it out together. Future sessions cannot be attended until payment issues are resolved. If you need guidance, check out StartPlaying’s payment guide: https://intercom.help/startplaying/en/articles/8719188-how-do-i-fix-a-failed-payment or reach out to me directly. ### Online Tools ### Familiarity with these platforms is helpful but not required: 🎲 DnDBeyond for character sheets (Beyond20 plugin recommended for easy rolling). 🎤 Discord for voice/video (video optional, but always great to see faces!). 🗺️ Roll20 for maps and token control. 📁 Google Docs for campaign notes, session recaps, and other resources.

I deal with rules issues by...

Keeping things moving briskly so as not to slow the game down, then digging deeper for a more solidified ruling after the session ends.

My games focus on...

A blended narrative of the story I plan to tell, woven with stories you want told, and maybe didn’t expect to be told, using your pc’s backstories.

When it comes to voices

Expect a lot of ‘em lmao. I love bringing an npc to life by giving them a voice, style, or inflection that helps them become a memorable experience for players.

Gawd Mode's ideal table

Largely laid back. A friendly and open atmosphere, one that isn’t afraid to dive deep into the roleplay and engage those at the table to do the same. Let’s ham it up together!
