About Jake

I've been playing and running D&D for 7 years now, and acting for 14, and I'd love to get the chance to be your next dungeon master! I have over 7000 hours spent on Roll20, countless completed long-term campaigns and bring my understanding of character, motivation and drama from my Performing Arts background. Also a D&D-tuber with more than 2,000 subscribers giving out advice on running the game.

I got started GMing...

With a bunch of friends from my theatre days! We were already so in on the voice side of things, but the rules... not so much.

How Jake runs games

I tend to run a fairly loose game, allowing any and all weird character concepts and changes should it be appropriate. As an actor I try to bring convincing and deep performances to NPC's, but don't expect the same of my players, even though I encourage you to get into your characters and the world as much as you'd like! In terms of specific adventures, I like to adhere to a few core themes and genres. Dark fantasy, gothic horror, slice of life, I enjoy sticking to a hard theme so that we all know what sort of game we're playing.

Simply deciding whatever's the coolest, but also makes sense.

Unhealthily staying up until 5am when I have a really good idea...
