I’ve played in several of Jackfelgar’s sessions over the last decade and a half. He always puts a lot of thought and care into his story but is ready for a quick improv when the players try to mess with the plan. He always does awesome character voices but isn’t going to pressure you to do the same level of character role playing. Even if you’ve never played a game before, Jack is more than patient with helping you learn the ropes and guide you into the game smoothly. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

Jackfelgar is an incredible DM. I’ve played with him on several occasions, and he’s incredibly inclusive, and creates vivid sessions. Hands down one of the best DMs I’ve ever had.

Excellent.

I played with Jack as a DM for close to a year at an open adventure style game. We sometimes had 4 at the table, most times even more, I think we had 12 at our highest player count for a session once. He was running two separate instances of these games every week. Jack did a truly impressive job at balancing and adjusting with/for so many players who may or may not have been there week to week. I personally was able to flesh out and build an engaging character for myself with close friendships with NPCs and other players, as were many others, while also keeping engagement for players who were more focused on action > role play at a healthy level. We started off playing with some Strixhaven locales and NPCs [writing actual classes and exams for us to take!] and he used that to vault us into some more custom content using other modules and books to build it out. I had such an invigorating time at his tables, and I have zero doubt that with a consistent group who are able to communicate their wants/expectations with him before hand and during that he will ABSOLUTELY deliver you an imagination playground that you won't want to stop playing in. I hope you have the best of times with him!

My review is detailed and thorough, because that is what Jack deserves. Please take the time to read it, because good people, like Jack, deserve it. <3 I loved Jack's TTRPG games he has GM-ed for me. Each session has been inclusive, immersive, and interactive. Where I Met Jack: I had the honor of playing in-person at his table when I was new to the D&D world a few years ago, and it left a lasting, positive impression on me. (His style is actually what I mimic my GM-ing after! Thank you, Jack!) His Game Style: He is patient, immersive, and a great "go with the flow" improvisional kind of DM. I love that he knows the rules, but doesn't necessarily let those rules dictate the fun at his table. I really like his play/RP style and how he keeps things moving smoothly with descriptions and important details to our quests/missions. World building was top notch, and he is also a fabulous note taker, and takes his job as DM to heart. That is a MUST have IMO for both long campaigns and being a GM/DM. His Play Style: When I was playing at his table, he was doing all this amazing prep work for free, and I really couldn't believe it. Hours of work behind the game before each session to me blew my mind. I know now it is because he is passionate and caring about our PC experiences, in game and out. He knows life can be kinda shitty sometimes, and sometimes, you just need a win. (That is the kind of experience and energy you can prepare to receive.) He is truly a remarkable person in general, not just at the table, and I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass. It was the safest I've ever felt at a gaming store filled with other people that I didn't know very well. I love and cherished every moment of that game with Jack! (He even let me be extra special on my last day with the group, because I had to leave due to scheduling conflicts...it was so magical and looking back I now even more so appreciate how he allowed my character to depart.) In Game Experience: I remember one session specifically where I literally could not breathe because I was laughing so hard at his NPC reactions to our antics. It was the hardest I'd ever laughed in my life, and it still holds the record after all these years... Gameplay Style: My personal type of PC game style is roleplaying heavy, and GREATLY enjoyed his well-thought out NPC's that were full of surprises! (Things aren't always what they seem, and I LOVE that mystery.) Additionally, I was able to observe his other PC interactions as we had not only RP styles, but also a couple Min/Maxers at the table at the time, and he taylored well to BOTH playing styles. (Which, as you know, is a hard line to toe.) Summary: Whether you're up for a crazy/cool one shot, OR an incredible epic campaign, Jack would be my DM pick/recommendation. (There is a reason he is deemed the "Forever DM" in our local gaming area, because he is THAT good and everyone loves him....) Not to sound cliche, but he is honestly a Jack of All Trades AND a Dungeon Master of awesome. Cheers, Jack!!

Jack is the best kind of DM - he is great about cooking between sessions to establish an interesting universe to play around in or getting comfortable with the prewritten material so that he knows it back to front; but he is also always willing and excited to let the players bend what happens to their will and just see where the story takes him. He's a great talker and if you tell a funny joke (or even a slightly unfunny one) his laugh will make you feel like you landed the perfect piece of comedy.
