About me
Hello everyone! My name is Jacob Hajek. I’ve been happily married to my wonderful wife since 2014, and together we share a love for animals—currently the proud companions of eight cats. I’ve enjoyed RPGs in many forms throughout my life: from paperback choose-your-own-adventure books, to JRPGs like Final Fantasy VII, to tabletop role-playing games. I began my TTRPG journey in 2006 with Dungeons & Dragons 3.5, briefly explored 4th Edition. My GM career started in 2012 with D&D 3.5, and I’ve since branched out to Powered by the Apocalypse, Savage Worlds, a fan-made Hogwarts system I ran for over a year, and both the Fantasy Flight Star Wars RPG and Genesys systems. In 2017, I began using D&D Beyond extensively and ran many campaigns there. More recently, I’ve fallen in love with Daggerheart—after running several games, it’s become my preferred system! That said, if D&D is your jam, I’m happy to dive in. I love crafting stories around my players. Because of that, I rarely run modules—but I’ll happily borrow ideas from them when they serve the narrative. Thank you for considering a seat at this (virtual) table. I’m excited to see where your story leads!
GM Style
My games first and foremost focus on the player characters; they are the protagonists of the story, and everything revolves around them. I love weaving player backstories into the narrative, and when players give me rich material. I’m a facilitator of the world and a fan of the PCs. I shape each session around the group’s playstyle. If your group favors deep roleplay, we’ll focus on emotional, character-driven scenes. Prefer tactical combat? Expect dynamic, high-stakes encounters. Love exploration? The world will be rich with secrets. If those elements don’t appeal, I adapt—the story centers on what you care about. Above all, my goal is to create a meaningful, safe, and unforgettable story together. Whether you're here for drama, danger, or delightfully strange characters, my table welcomes you.
