I'm Jonathan, a fresh face in the DM seat on this platform, though I come packing a solid decade of experience as a player and a dungeon master. My passion lies in making the most immersive game I can. I'm well-versed in the lore of the Forgotten Realms for DnD and have also run games like Mork Borg, Goat Crashers, Brindlewood Bay, Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf, and Dungeon World. I adapt the game flow to ensure everyone feels valued and included, with a strong commitment to ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ LGBTQ+ friendly vibes. โ ๐๐บ ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐ต๐บ๐ญ๐ฆ โ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ข๐ต โ โ โ โ ๐๐น๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ โ โ โ โ โ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ป๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด โ โ โ ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ข๐บ โ โ โ โ โ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ (๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ) โ โ โ
GM Style
As an artist and former musician, I love using sound, visuals, and voices to create an immersive experience. When I'm running D&D (which is most of the time), I love creating an experience that balances roleplay, combat, and exploration. My real specialty, though, is focusing on character-specific content. I enjoy working closely with my players to help them build vibrant characters with rich backstories, and I weave these into the main story. This approach makes each player feel like their character's story is front and center โ because it truly is! I tend to be a bit more dramatic in my narrationโthink more 'Matt Mercer' than 'Brendan Lee Mulligan'. But no worries๐โโ๏ธ, I'm always up for some fun and shenanigans.

Jonathan creates a world you can't help but enjoy. I played a few games of his and he's a fantastic storyteller who always ensures his players have their moments to shine. If you're up for something weird and cool, he's totally game without ever really breaking immersion. Our sessions had a focus on roleplay, but with a mix of exploration and combat as well. Super fun experience.
Jonathan was my GM the first time I ever played D&D and I would HIGHLY recommend him to players of all levels! He is an artist and musician irl, so his in-game use of sound and visual effects are really next level. He's also an amazing, collaborative storyteller and gives players the space to create meaningful moments with their characters. He also does really well at balancing the table and making sure each player is comfortable no matter their level of expertise in the game. If you are looking for an immersive, inclusive, and exciting ttrpg experience then this is your dude!
As a beginner to playing RPG games he was very helpful and patient! I would recommend him to anyone looking to have fun!! Very fun story with a good way of keeping players engaged. Lots of laughs in the one shot I did with him. Would highly recommend to new players or people looking to get into the hobby.
The world building was super cool. The visuals and art were awesome. We played in person so there were a lot of props - lots of figurines to work and play around with. Jonathan is a great story teller, and his NPCs were funny and engaging. His descriptions of the world and things around were on point.
