About James "Hez"

Greetings! I'm James but you can call me Hez! I've started playing and eventually GM'ing in the year of 2021. When the world halted and everyone was force to stuck inside, TTRPG became my escape. Allowing me to go on memorable adventures, talk to many wondrous people, be amazed by the works that were produced just for this hobby. All in the comfort of my home. My goal as a GM is to share these experiences of wonder, whimsy, and emotions to you. So as your GM/DM/Narrator, here’s what you can expect when you join my adventures: - A Welcoming and Safe Environment: I pride myself on ensuring that your voice is heard. As such I take extensive drive to ensure that you have a safe environment allowing you to be comfortable to express yourself. This is my standard throughout my games. - An Immersive Experience: Utilizing background music, storytelling techniques, and mood setting, I give my games a sort of “breath of life” that helps you get into the story. Furthermore, I ensure that the contents of the adventure are never forced upon you. So it feels that each choice results in consequences whether it is good or bad. - Player-Sided GM: I abhor the Player vs. GM mentality. TTRPG is a collaborative experience and having such a friction relationship between Player and GM spoils that. As such often, I utilize Rule-of-Cool more so than Rule-As-Written. If there’s rules that are ambiguous or require a long down-time to consolidate, I will intervene and rule in favor of the player. This is so the energy never drops and the story keeps continuing. - Accessible: If you have any questions or concerns regarding the game, rules, or just need a little help. I’m always willing to lend a hand. While it may take a moment to reply, I will not leave any message unanswered. If I don’t have the answers, I will take time to find a third-party source that can hopefully help you. - Consistently Developing: No one is perfect, including me. So I always ask for feedback from the players to let me know what works and what doesn’t. I’m always tweaking the adventure to offer you a satisfying game. “Everyone has a story to tell. As we all have a story worth telling” This is a phrase that I live by. As TTRPG is a collaborative experience, everyone at the table should enjoy the game in their own way. Your voice matters and is always heard, as I'm always working to make sure there's a space where it is respectful, open, and supportive. To hear my players have a grand time after each session and wanting more. It gives me unbridled joy and satisfaction. Give me the energy to continue this path and improve even just a little. I would like to see you soon in one of my games! Exploring untold lands and living an adventure worth reminiscing—Together.
