About me

I'm a long time veteran of Dungeons and Dragons and love to run games for anyone willing to play. I'm a huge fan of being surprised by the players and watching the freedom and creativity of a TTRPG unfold in real-time. I use the rules as written as a guide from which to set precedence, but I never allow a rules question to slow down the game or kill the momentum. I look forward to meeting new players and seeing a variety of different approaches to the game.

GM Style

I enjoy a good mix of all three pillars of play, but I think I accel at creating interesting and challenging combat scenarios. My improv skills are strong for social roleplaying, and I don't mind throwing out the occasional silly voice. I'd say my weakpoint as a GM would be during exploration scenarios, but I try use nicely-made maps and information-gathering checks to help paint a better picture of the players' environment. I treat each session like it's a one-shot, so you can expect a set-up, adventure, and resolution each time you come to one of my games.

Silviche has been my GM for multiple games across a wide variety of systems and it's never been boring. We've played one-shots and long-term campaigns. He knows the rules, but allows for creative flavor and harmony of game. Equally fun for first timers or veterans alike and has even created his own optional add-ons for groups/players who want to use them. Can't go wrong with this GM.

This is the DM who showed me how awesome TTRPGs are and inspired a life long love of the game.

Players from all walks of life with a willing mind to compromise will find that Jamie can easily adapt to your playstyle. The many I've played with in his campaigns could say the same. He even got me to do a session of my own. Fair, human, yet expertly proves he can hold the power as the GM, Jamie easily creates an outstanding and engaging experience, especially if you can throw in some creativity. He sticks to his guns and doesnt pull punches, but is always willing to talk it out without too much downtime. If the players are willing to let him, he can manage time and keep the flow going with no issues, all whilst story telling with amazing improvization should it come to that, world building like he was born to, and making the experience overall fun and immersive--to make you really feel like you're able to play your character without judgement or too much restriction, if thats something you find yourself to be self-conscious about. In the end, his years of experience are evident straight from the get-go. If you're stressed on where to find your next GM, you've come to the right place.

He's a friendly DM with great charisma to help everyone feel included. He knows the rules or where to confirm interactions but will allow players to bend the rules to a limit to do cool things. Has a active imagination to so custom adventures are always available.

I so wish I could pick more then three things that are great about Jamie. I was introduced to playing the game under Jamie and was in a 3 year campaign from level 1-20. I have also played several one shots and another campaign from level 1-8. He has also helped me become a DM and I have Zero experience. He plaid in a game I took them from level 1-7. He knows the rules and allows anything that is fair. He rewards for story! The worlds are amazing! I cant say enough good about Jamie!!
