About me

I began my adventure in 1982 in the Hopewell Junior High Dungeons and Dragons club. I started to run games by 1985 and I have over 36 years' experience as a DM. As a gulf war veteran and 26 year police officer, I have unfortunately rolled initiative many times in real life 😳. I run Forgotten Realms 5th edition on Fantasy Grounds and Warhammer 4th edition, for those who prefer a grim and perilous world, on Foundry VTT. I will run published or original content but will always add fun unique encounters or content.

GM Style

I like a “Do what's fun” approach to Dungeon and Dragons and a Grim dark realism style for Warhammer with an open attitude when it comes to player choices and roles. I love character, development and will work to help players in playing the characters the way that they like. I do lean towards RAW but will homebrew minor stuff on request. Games can be mission oriented or open sandbox per the player's desire.

As a newer player, I have found this GM to be a pleasure to work with. He is patient, but still keeps the game going. He lets us do what we want (within the rules) and doesn't force us down any particular path. He also does some creative voices.

I have gamed with this GM for years. He is a one of the finest storytellers I have ever had the privilege of playing under. He knows how run good role playing scenes and good action. He is fast on his feet, I've never seen him flustered from a players choice no matter how outlandish.

I am not a Gaming Guru by any stretch but this GM is a patient soul who has a firm handle on the rules and characters/classes with over 30+ years experience in the Fantasy Realm. We have various players skill levels/experience in our parties and he helps everyone work cohesively and keeps us on track when things get WILD. He gears the adventure well based on the number and types of characters participating and keeps things interesting with the ability to change on a dime if the party doesn't take the expected path. Highly Recommend!

Jeff is so much fun to play with. He comes up with super interesting stories and provides opportunities for the players to impact the story! Highly recommended letting him GM your games!

This is a self-review. My strong suits are world-building, fun over rules lawyer, and great storytelling. I am also great for beginning players and love player creativity. I use Foundry and Fantasy Grounds with primarily Discord as my go-to communications software. As a backup, I can run Skype or Zoom. I have an extensive library of material for the Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk settings of 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons. I am a lover of all things Warhammer and am currently running the 4th edition of Fantasy Roleplaying. I have a massive library of materials for Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader but am not set up virtually yet.
