About me
Greetings friends and enemies! I'm GMJabberwocky, but you can call me Spencer/Jabber (he/him). As a full-time professional gamemaster, I'm dedicated to creating immersive experiences. my focus IS crafting exciting adventures and meeting new players and building an amazing community. I have a genuine passion for learning different systems and collecting stories along the way. I would love it if you would join me for a story we can tell together, I love roleplaying and working with the characters you craft to make a story that we will never forget. This will always be our game, and I will make it as welcoming and friendly as I can so that you have something wonderful to look forward to as much as I do. Please let me know if you are interested in any of my games and if you want to request a alternate time for the game! So if you don't have anymore questions...what kind of story are we going to tell today? My games are currently 28$ a session for each player on weekdays and 35$ a seat on weekends. I run a wide range of games and am always interested in running new systems! I also run custom campaigns but these must be paid first month upfront and have a minimum of 4 seats filled. I do not offer a discount for being in multiple games but I do offer a discount if an existing player invites a new player (who has never played a game with me before) to a game. You will both get a 2$ discount on the campaign as long as you both stay in it. I also offer Game Master consultations! These are 30 dollars for three hours of my time where I will answer questions help you come up with NPCs plots, relationship maps, and even show you how to use a few tools that I use to make my games great.

Jabber excels at creating complex and immersive worlds. He does a fantastic job of setting the tone, bringing characters to life with detailed descriptions and excellent voices, and improvising in response to player decisions. I am currently playing in a game of Vampire the Masquerade with homebrew rules for political intrigue, through which players can spend Drama Points (out of character) to influence scenes in interesting directions. Throughout the game, I have been consistently impressed with his ability to adapt on the fly to whatever decisions we make, both in or out of character, while maintaining both verisimilitude and narrative focus. If you're looking for a roleplaying experience where you can be more proactive, spontaneous, and creative, Jabber is a fantastic choice.
Jabber is an exceptional game master, and has fostered a community of players that I don’t think many other GMs on this platform have. He is an exceptional storyteller and his worlds have grit and political nuance that mean each session is akin to an episode of your favorite show you never want to miss. Being new to the WOD system, he was incredibly helpful and personable in creating a character that complemented the world and racked up the drama. If you’re new player, or if you’re a seasoned one who just loves a good story, Jabber is an excellent GM to make your game into a lasting experience you’ll want to keep coming back to.
Honestly can't say enough good things about Jabber's VtM game. I've been playing with them for about 10-11 sessions now. The best part? The NPCs actually feel like real people. You end up caring about your non-player pals' feelings and opinions because they're not just cardboard cutouts. They matter to the story and to your character. If you're looking for a Vampire game that'll really pull you in, go with Jabber. Trust me, you won't regret it.
I've only been apart of Jabber's games for one and a half sessions, but I can already feel a sense of comfort and excitement. You can tell Jabber puts in the work to make the game as smooth as possible, and as inclusive as possible. He is kind and patient, which is huge for me since I can sometimes take a while to think. Jabber is creative as heck, and allows for my creativity to shine too. He steers gently, which is also huge because sometimes I need to be guided. To host a group of strangers, and make them feel like we've all known each other longer than we have, is a talent - and Jabber has it. It's just nice to know that my GM is as human as I am, and Jabber is very human (that's a good thing. I'd be more worried if he wasn't - unless he was a satyr or like a cool demigod, oh! Or even like an alien..okay so maybe I wouldn't be worried but the point is still there!).
