About Jakob Nason
I'm Jakob, a fellow who is inclined to hyper-fixate on hobbies and GM-ing happens to be one of them! I've always been interested in the creation of worlds and characters and seeing how they flourish and flounder. I got the rare opportunity to play DnD with some folks that went to my high school and started as a player but quickly shifted to DM when I had the time to craft my own little worlds. From then I was more DM than player and that continues to this day; 8 years now. I love making intricate worlds, planning the civilizations, past and present, what lives where, the cosmology, etc. I want to make a world that players can thrive in, where they can make characters with plenty of options and room to carve their own paths. I am most familiar with Pathfinder 2E and historically DnD 5E but I also love learning new forms of play so I wouldn't restrict myself in what I'm GM-ing.

How Jakob Nason runs games
I do focus on roleplay quite prominently but that isn't to say I don't create interesting combat scenarios. There's often variety in the battles that happen but for the higher-stakes battles I focus on matters tactical and encourage my players do so too. I want to create an experience akin to playing a hardcore RPG, which this contestably is, in having a reactive, grand world there for the players to explore every last grain of sand if they want. I'm there to forge characters that people will love and/or hate, all to ensconce a player in the world more. Whether in combat or in roleplay, I want my players to feel they can truly be their own character in whatever capacity. I also get rather deep into the world creation, I expect not every piece of information will be unearthed, and that's ok, that's life, after all.
