About me
I am a passionate storyteller and world builder. As a full time illustrator i have dedicated most of my time curating and creating my own homebrew world for the last 3 years! All with original illustrations of monsters, magic items, NPCs amd places. But i was just stuck with sharing this content with my friends. The epic stories i was able to tell with them, inspired me to open up my world for more players to engage in! Storytelling is at the forefront. I hope to create a story with each session i run, and hope to make each session a long lasting memory.
GM Style
A free and open world was always the greatest appeal for me as a player. So when i became a GM that was my main focus. I wanted to create a rich and big world, where my players could have the freedom to fully explore anything and everything they wanted. The story of my campaigns are dictated fully by the choices YOU make. From the things you choose to include in your backstory, to the choices you make during the game. It might be my world that i have created, but it is yours to experience, to live in and to make all the choices you want! I always loved acting, and this translated well into GMing, as i have got the opportunity to play a wide variety of different NPCs to entertain my players and make all the silly voices i want. Combat for me is an important part of DnD, but only if it drives the story forward! No meaningless and painstaking dungeon crawling, but instead thrilling and exciting encounters!

JackLac, has a phenomenal approach to taking completely green players and helping them through all of the technical aspects of online D&D and introducing the basic mechanics of the game. My buddies and I completed a one-shot adventure that took us from character creation to integration with with Discord, DND Beyond, and Roll20. JackLac is a step-by-step educator with great understanding and communication to help your new to D&D friends get up and going. Highly recommend. Worth his weight in Gold Pieces. He puts in the effort to to make your experience an eventful one. 10/10 recommend.
I have been a part of Jack's long time running campaign for a few years now and I can say without a doubt that he is an extremely well rounded DM. From character creation to backstories, he is helpful every step of the way to make sure that your vision takes form and has its rightful place into his world, no matter how far fetched or basic it can be. He really helps you make the character your own and once the sessions are going, he really is a master at story telling and making you feel you are a part of this world with handmade visuals and music/ambient sounds. You could think you're going in one direction and in an instant realize you have swerved 180° in your quest and you will be on the edge of your seat every step of the way. Jack really has a way to make you want more and to leave you with incredible cliffhangers or morally ambiguous decisions for your characters. He really pushes you to your full potential as a player and I could not recommend enough playing at least once with him!
I am a player in one of Jack's long-term campaigns. He has a way of always leaving us wanting more. His story telling skills are off the charts and the world he has created is full of lore, secrets, and mysteries that are waiting to be discovered. When it comes to character creation, he one of the best to work with. He allows for your creative to shine and welcomes your ideas. He will also provide amazing feedback to help your idea work in his world.
I'm a player in one of Jack's longterm campaigns. We play online with dndbeyond and roll20. Jack has great artwork for his NPCs, magic items and settings. He does a really good job and verbally describing his world, but then you get a little pop of excitement when he drops an image of the boss you're about to fight or the horrifying landscape you just wandered into. If you love character building, Jack is great to work with. He allows quite a bit of freedom to make whatever you want as a character and then takes what you give him and adds his own flair to the concept so it fits well in his world. Very cooperative style. There's seemingly no end to what his campaigns can be. When you think you're headed one way and can see a natural progression, he'll drop something new that seems to expand the world even more. Keeps you on your toes.
