About Jacek

Hi — I'm Jacek (he/him), your new Game Master! Whether you’re seeking eldritch mysteries, gritty horror, or cozy investigation, I’m here to guide you through compelling stories with heart and tension. I started my adventure in mid 90s when I ran my first games - AD&D 2e and Call of Cthulhu and basically became forever GM as this is what I enjoy most about roleplaying. I most enjoy and regularly run Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green and Dragonbane. There are other games that spark my interest though - Arkham Horror RPG, Chill, DCC, Degenesis, Mutant Chronicles, Old School Essentials, Public Access, Symbaroum, The Between, The Laundry 2e, The Old World, Vaesen. I got a dog called Migo, I love getting lost during long hikes in the woods and enjoy long distance trail running.

I got started GMing...

when I first got a hold on Star Wars d6 core book which I quickly sold to get fifth edition of the greatest roleplaying game - Call of Cthulhu.

My favorite system of all Time is

Call of Cthulhu

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

composing music, running and trying to be a great dad.

How Jacek runs games

I enjoy stories where mystery, tension, and meaningful choices drive the narrative. I won’t kill a character just for shock value — but in a horror setting, a well-timed death can give the story real weight. Player input is encouraged: describe details, suggest twists, help shape the world. We build the story together. Expect emotional moments, unexpected turns, and chances for every character to shine. I follow a player-first philosophy—rules exist to support the story, not limit it. My games emphasize investigation, character development, and immersion over endless combat, aiming for a balanced experience with enough structure to stay clear yet flexible enough to keep things fast, fun, and meaningful. Above all, I strive to create a safe, respectful space where everyone participates, stays engaged, and respects each other’s boundaries.

Rules are...

to support narrative and give a dash of randomness to the outcomes.

Jacek's ideal table

I value players who come to the table with purpose and curiosity — not just to pass the time. I enjoy when players add their own details to the world and build meaningful interactions with others. Respect is key at my table — everyone deserves space to speak, and we listen without interrupting. I love deep, in-character roleplay, but there’s always room for laughter. It’s a game, after all. Even in horror sessions, we don’t have to be dead serious all the time — a well-timed joke can make the scares hit even harder.
