About me
Gather 'round, and let’s tell your tale. My name’s Jaidyn, a professional writer with a lifelong passion for TTRPGs and immersive storytelling. I’ve written countless stories and crafted many D&D campaigns over the years, and now I’m channeling that expertise into hosting some unforgettable TTRPG experiences. My focus is ever on player engagement and collaborative narrative, tailoring each session to bring out the best in your characters and group dynamic. I run my games through FoundryVTT utilising a huge library of sounds, maps, tokens, effects a more. Expect an experience as immersive as TTRPG can be! Whether you have a specific campaign in mind or need a little inspiration, I’m happy to run any D&D adventure you’d like. If you’re unsure where to start, I’ve spent hundreds of hours refining my own custom campaign (ready to launch in Foundry!) that is a balanced experience of rich world-building with dynamic gameplay in the world of Faerun. I relish creating vibrant settings, memorable NPCs, and branching storylines that adapt to your choices, and most importantly, watching my players have a blast! Fun is no.1. Let’s craft a tale that’s uniquely yours! P.S. I'm super approachable, no stress, message me with any questions or concerns and I'll get back to you asap :)
GM Style
My GM style is focused on branching narratives with pretty healthy balance of combat, puzzles, mystery and roleplay. Expect refined and engaging stories with branching decisions, impactful roleplay and strategic combat scenarios. In our games you can expect personally designed campaigns with rich, branching storylines that balance prepared structure and improvisational play so that every session feels truely engaging in a way only TTRPG can be. While I always use D&D 5e rules as a baseline, fun is my priority. If a rule needs a little bending for immersion or for the logical outcome, then thats what we'll do. In the end, its the ol' rule of cool that really matters. My players' enjoyment is always my priority, and no rule will change that.

As an experienced player/DM, I think Jaidyn does an amazing job making everyone feel included and always makes a fun and engaging experience for everyone. Amazing world building, with interactive maps and immersive atmosphere, makes each session feel fresh and you'll be eager to explore more. Whether you're a newbie looking to start your first game, or a DND vet looking for a new table, you'll definitely enjoy playing with Jaidyn and the lovely community on discord. 18/5 stars!

I was completely new to online D&D and have felt so welcomed - when I joined there was a wide range of availability to select from with session time slots, and the time was taken to go through setting everything up through the systems used. I've been really enjoying the campaign, which has great storytelling with a lot of player choice and freedom to explore, and I always look forward to the next session!

I have been playing with Jaidyn for a few months. It has been a really enjoyable time. I look forward to his sessions and appreciate how freely he lets us explore his world. He always tries to allow us to express ourselves in his world and the lore behind it is ever interesting. I can't wait for to find out what Jaidyn has up for us next.

Jaidyn is an awesome world builder and takes the time to work with us players to bring the adventure to life in the best, whackiest, exciting and most entertaining way possible. He’s also nice enough to work around when you can afford to pay, can’t afford to pay for a session one week but know you’ll have enough to pay the next? He’ll bounce the charge back a week and add it to the next session.

He's my current GM and I am really enjoying the campaign! It's fun and interactive and allows for really good roleplay. He weaves the backstories of the characters into the campaign!

Full Transparency, this is my first experience with online DnD and I am glad that I chose the right GM for it. Jaidyn has taken time with the party to understand the mechanics of the TTRPG program (can't remember the name) in detail as well as reassuring to answer any questions regarding mechanics if unclear. The story and world is built in an interesting way that allows each character to have 'their' moment. All n All, Jaidyn is by far a solid 20 as a GM.
