About me

I am experienced game master of 7 years, starting with dungeons and dragons, and then gaining experience with call of cthulhu and pathfinder, my current preferred systems. I love to create and share stories with others, and enjoy working both with players who want to play a game to win, and players who are looking to share a story and get deep into roleplaying.

GM Style

I love all aspects of games, and prefer to match what my players enjoy. Roleplay is entertaining for me, and the voices I can do may often be funnier than more serious. When it comes to combat, I love to craft both difficult encounters to challenge the players, but also to create combats that act like puzzles, requiring players to to think and try new things in order to succeed.

I have been playing in an Outlaws of Alkenstar game that Jeriko has been running for a couple of months now. He has done a fantastic job of giving every player and their characters an equivalent amount of screen time, making sure that we all have the opportunity to feel personally involved with and connected to the game's story and its world. He also puts a lot of time and energy into shaping the game around our characters, adding a lot of individual touches to make the setting feel like a place that we actually live in. Also, he excels at stressing out and traumatizing his players. I have never felt more fear for my own actual life than when I've been playing in a game with Jeriko as the GM. (This is a positive, for reference.)

Jeriko brings one of the best games I have played since I started in TTRPGS 11 years ago, his DMing style brings both the world itself and the characters in it to life in a unique way that leaves one wanting to know more and interact with his creations. A true 10/10.

The website only lets me pick 3 tags to describe Jeriko, but if I could pick all of them, I absolutely would! Jumping into a game with strangers can be incredibly scary and daunting, but I've been surprised at every corner! Jeriko is a fantastic GM, he's incredibly helpful and patient with players that are new to Pathfinder, as well as being incredibly attentive when creating characters. His love for the universe and his passion for creating a game everyone can enjoy together is inspiring! Thank you so much for everything you do!!

This is my first time playing anything like this and Jericho has made something so huge feel warm and inviting. He helped me create not only a character but whole backstory. He taught me the game mechanics and has been incredibly patient when I need reminders. He's incredibly knowledgeable without being a know it all. He's thourough with his world building which makes it easy to feel immersed in the game. As a beginner 10/10 recommend.

He is amazing in working with both new and experienced players and is willing to work with players to create well-rounded and fun to play characters. He is super patient in teaching game mechanics to new players without losing any sense of difficulty or challenge from the campaign as it progresses. He ensures that every character has a moment to shine and has an invested arc throughout the campaign. Absolutely 10/10
