About GingerJams

Hi! I have been a Dungeon Master for Dungeons and Dragons since 2016. It has been an awesome learning experience and it really helped to break me out of my shell and become more confident as a person. I am a huge fan of building a world that the players can change and effect with their decisions. If the players make a decision to release the entombed elemental dragons, that decision resonates through every game I run from that point on. If the players become known as the hero's that dismantled the slave trade in Evermoor, they may just find a statue built in their honor years later and new characters. I want my players to feel like every decision matters and it wont just disappear after the game has concluded.

I became a GM because

Someone had to! I always had a love of TTRPG but it was always difficult to find a group because no one wanted to DM/GM. It got to the point where I just did it myself and never looked back.

My favorite books are

Patrick Rothfuss’ KingKiller Chronicles I have such a deep love for the stories Patrick tells and would love to Kvothe come to life in a D&D Setting. Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archives Such a fascinating world, I am still working my way through it so NO SPOILERS!

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

When I’m not running games I am being an active father to my son. Nothing brings me more pleasure than raising him. I am also a loving husband and hardworking sales person.

How GingerJams runs games

As a GM, I love building an expansive world with deep lore. A sandbox of sorts that gives player agency and each choice effects the world in one way or another. I also enjoy crafting challenging and high stakes encounters that will challenge the player and create a sense of anxiety.

Featured Prompts

My favorite trope is...

High fantasy. There is something magical about being in a magical world where anything is possible.

Rules are...

More like guidelines. There are some rules that work well, but others should not hinder gameplay or hinder then player’s heroics.

When it comes to voices

I try my best to make every NPC a unique character. However, I am not a professional voice actor.

GingerJams's ideal table

My ideal table is a collaboration. I want my players to influence the world. The players are the true heroes. I am just a facilitator of challenging combat. Players who dive deep into the roleplay and help craft the world around them.
