About me
Hello prospective adventurers and wayward souls! My name is Jeremy, aka Grumpkin and I am a long time gamer and storyteller. I am a strong advocate for TTRPG games and appreciate delivering inclusive, engaging and entertaining content. I strive to create memorable gaming experiences for those willing to share some time with me. I have been involved in gaming since the early 1990's which means I'm an old guy by modern standards...but don't let that fool you, I'm pretty fun and modern. I have worked in the gaming and entertainment space and I have played and GM'd fantasy, sci-fi and horror genre games for many years and have also created countless Homebrew and custom rules supplements for my players to use. Let's share an adventure...
GM Style
I appreciate ambience and bringing unique voices, memorable NPC's, sound effects and an engaging VTT experience. My style tends to lean towards gritty realism, though I make sure to not go anywhere that makes the players uncomfortable. I believe in player safety and comfort and appreciate that not everyone wants to experience all things. In the end, this is a game and games are supposed to be fun. *I do use AI artwork in my games*

Grumpkin is an ideal person to play TTRPG's with for first timers and veterans alike. He elevates every session with deep respect for story, powerful characterization, a dramatic flair for action, and a peerless sense of humor. 10/10 recommended.

His ability to create a scene is second to none….always a pleasure watching a master hone his craft. Don’t miss this a chance. I sh*t you not

Great knowledge and use of the Foundry VTT system, really makes things slick and immersive. Also great at integrating player backstories into the campaign, would recommend for anyone who wants to have an excellent player experience.

Grumpkin is a phenomenal GM. They do a ton of work to craft creative, immersive stories, and use online tools to make the experience of play fun and easy, even if you're still learning the rules.

Jeremy is incredibly creative. His games are well though out and fun.
Safa Shokrai
Fantastic approach to building the world and the story. Very well organized, and knows how to craft great encounters. Patient when explaining rules and technical portions of the game, and willing to bend for cool ideas.
