About GM AJ
Hello Adventurers, My name is AJ and currently GM active games of Dungeons and Dragons 5e. I plan to branch to other systems in the future but have been both playing and GM’ing 5E games since Early 2020. Through this time I have run a wide variety of games including, home brew, book adventures, pre-written one shots. Campaigns where tones run from light hearted adventures to gritty grimdark dungeon crawls. I love character focused campaigns and enjoy weaving in backstory from each of my player characters into the overall story in unique and interesting ways. I love combat and describing combat but giving the player the opportunity to describe every bit of combat. Flavor is free! I encourage my players to flavor their abilities and skills, this allows my players to get more immersed into their character and feel a greater sense of agency to the character they created. I run Dungeons and Dragons 5e now but plan to learn Pathfinder, Starfinder as well. Contact me to run a one shot or a campaign for you and your friends!

How GM AJ runs games
I enjoy roleplay and incorporating my players backstory into the overall narrative of the session and campaign as a whole. Longer campaigns I develop a potential character arc that fits in with the backstory in interesting and sometimes subversive ways. I really enjoy the long quest and journey across landscapes. Think Fellowship of the Ring as the party travels across distant lands to places familiar and unknown. Encountering hostile creatures and curious lands while learning something about each other and yourself along the way. Flavor is free, and I encourage my players to describe their actions in as much detail as you want, this gets you into the character! I mainly stick Rules as Written but use the rule of cool when the narrative warrants it.
