About me

Greetings, adventurers! My name is Jabberwocky, and I’m your dedicated Dungeon Master, here to bring your Dungeons & Dragons experience to life. With a passion for immersive storytelling and dynamic gameplay, I craft every session to ensure that you and your party embark on thrilling adventures filled with rich narratives, tactical combat, and moments of pure fun. When you join one of my games, you'll gain access to a **private Discord server** where you and your fellow adventurers can engage throughout the week. I’m always active and available, guaranteeing timely responses and thorough server management to create a **safe, professional, and enjoyable environment**. Your satisfaction is my priority—so much so that I offer a **money-back guarantee** if you and your friends don’t have an amazing time. I take pride in creating unforgettable gaming experiences, and I'm excited to bring you into the fold. Be sure to check out our reviews to see what others have loved about their journeys with me. Let’s roll the dice, spin epic tales, and create lasting memories at the virtual table. Ready for your next great adventure? Let’s write it together!"

GM Style

I run **high-stakes fantasy games** that span a range of genres, from grim horror to high-magic chaos. Every game I host is a **sandbox of adventure**, where you and your party are free to explore, take on quests, and shape the story through your choices. Teamwork is essential as you navigate the world together, deciding your own path with every decision you make. Combat is a centerpiece of my games—**creative battles** with well-crafted bosses (BBEGs) are a Jabberwocky signature. Expect fights that challenge your tactics and resourcefulness. My games demand skill, thought, and a healthy dose of caution, but most importantly, they are designed for **maximum fun**. There's a **gritty, hard-mode** feel to my worlds, where danger is real, but fairness is paramount—the dice will always decide your fate. I believe in a **laid-back atmosphere** with moments of intense storytelling and plenty of laughs. While I keep the tone light-hearted, there are also deeply dramatic moments that make the story compelling. I use **milestone leveling** to keep progression rewarding, and whether we’re running homebrew campaigns or official modules, the sandbox approach gives you the freedom to explore and play your way. I’m excited to host a game that’s fun, fair, and memorable. My goal is for everyone to enjoy themselves and build a story together that you’ll be talking about for years. Let’s roll some 20s and make epic memories together! --- **Important Information**: - **Code of Conduct**: [Link](https://startplaying.helpscoutdocs.com/article/32-code-of-conduct) - **Terms of Service**: [Link](https://startplaying.games/blog/terms-of-service) - **Refund Policy**: [Link](https://startplaying.helpscoutdocs.com/article/141-refund-policy) *Note on Refunds:* Excessive absences will not be refunded.

Rudi (Jabberwocky) is a great DM. He has been my DM since April of 2022 with multiple campaigns. He is knowledgeable with the rules and the modules he runs, and takes the time to talk to players regarding their characters and integrates the characters and their backstories into the overall narrative of the campaign. He also makes sure that the group can work well together, ensuring the group is a safe place for people. 5/5 stars would recommend as a DM.

He let me be a little cat man who is a ball of shenanigans. The atmosphere is so calm and inviting. I felt like my ideas and desire for fun were respected. The party was great. The DM is great. The word that best incapsulates Rudi is funtastic!

Jabberwocky is a great DM, he was very attentive to me during character creation and was swift to answer my questions and make sure I was added to the group swiftly in game and in a way that made sense with the story. The roleplay was great with a moderate amount of combat that kept the game alive and active. Definitely recommend giving this gm a try.

I left his campaign and he asked me to come back so I did. Then I pointed out a rule of his that didn’t make sense and he questioned my knowledge of 5e. The rule in question was you can you use a leveled reaction spell if you already used a leveled spell. I told him it was established that if you throw a fireball and they counterspell it you can counterspell the counterspell. He then told me I wasn’t a good fit for his campaign and removed me from his campaign instead of discussing it further with me. If you can blindly follow rules he might be a good fit for you but beware you may kick you out if you question any of them.
