About Jacob

**Available to respond 8am to 9pm Pacific Time** Fun, engaging, story-telling with exhilarating, challenging combat. Coupled with ridiculous voices and an all-inclusive, caring environment: I'm inviting you to come be a part!! I am an avid D&D player and DM, a theatre-trained actor, improviser and voice-over artist, and an enthusiastic storyteller! Whether it's RP-heavy story telling or dungeon-crawling madness with quips and one-liners, I foster and enjoy a positive, fun and explorative game with room for anyone that is keen. All-inclusive, games are approached with compassion, care and patience. If you're new, I can help you with character creation and the mechanics of the game, then let you loose to explore! If you're experienced, I can let you do your thing and throw you in a world that you can make a meal of! Safety Tools and an open, honest line of communication are always available, to make for a comfortable and fun adventure. Face-to-face on Discord + D&D Beyond/Demiplane + battlemaps on AboveVTT/Owlbear(depending on system) is more often than not the format; Content-wise I've got One-Shots to try out your builds, characters and voices, or a homebrewed campaign for those more committed to a story arc! Anything else, just drop me a line and ask; customized One-Shots and Campaigns are just a message away

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Funny, compassionate, chaos/player-choice encourager! (Love when a PC throws a wrench!)

How Jacob runs games

Every game welcomes players of all backgrounds and levels of experience! My style is a hearty dose of story-telling and roleplay; no matter the duration of the game, and encourages players to really have fun playing their characters in the ways they've always wanted to try. Chances are you'll come across an NPC that'll let you really shine and converse with! Combat Encounters are plentiful and each creature will feel a little different from the last, feeding the narrative and challenging players. Players should feel free to be creative, spontaneous and bold with their choices! My background in theatre, improvisation and writing will allow me to build you an intricate world to play in, while also allowing me the ability to adapt and react to the spontaneity of the moment with you and your character's choices. The world will be yours; story-arcs and lore honored and a highly receptive NPC pool will be at your disposal. Discord coupled with AboveVTT/Owlbear and D&D Beyond/Demiplane are the combination I have found to afford us the ability to act, play, and battle with the most freedom and accessibility!

My games focus on...

Fun, engaging, PC-driven storytelling, with immersive NPCs and story-driven encounters; so players can feel their effect on the world!

Jacob's ideal table

My table is one of humor, inclusivity, joy, player-driven story and the license to play as wild as they wish, in the sandbox. Players should feel free to make choices; champion each-other's decisions and story as we craft something fun together! Irreverence and humor are a must, but also the willingness to allow everyone to share the spotlight and have their moment when the time comes!
