About me
Hey folks! My name is Thomas Jarvis and I'm from the North west United States (Idaho). I 'm currently stationed in Fl and am serving my 6th year active duty in the US Army! I come from a military background and love creating collaborative, tactical, and memorable scenarios with my players. I'm just as excited to see where the story goes as you are! And yes, I do enjoy coming up fun NPC voices as well 😜 I love fun and creative roleplay scenarios, intense tactical combat, and a thrilling character adventure! In real life I'm a communications specialist in the US Army, this means that I tend to help people understand new skills and tricks for computers and radios, and because of this I'm excited to run games for all players and would love to teach new players. There's nothing like that first adventure beyond the wire! Everyone is welcome at my game table, and I expect all players to keep it a safe space where we can have fun and take risks together regardless of nationality, gender, religion, or orientation. The goal is to have FUN and escape the real world for a few hours! You are absolutely welcome here 🤟💚💛🧡 Now let's roll some dice! 🎲🙀🙊😮
GM Style
I enjoy every part of DND, I remember my first DnD game and how the GM assisted me in learning the ropes. This sticks with me, and I will always help new players. I love doing the different voices and engaging in dialogue with players. I'm very welcoming of all DnD players, no matter what stage of player they are! My goal is for you to have fun! I will make it challenging enough for you to feel involved, but reasonable enough for you to use your ideas and your teammates to make plans and have a fun campaign!

Jarvis does anyone amazing job. Well prepared and thought out. Balanced Gameplay and makes sure to include everyone at the table. Great NPV Voices and A Quick Wit. He is Truly the Patrick Mahomes of DMs.

Jarvis is a great DM! He was super welcoming for my first time playing DnD, and he also has a great VTT setup and amazing character voices. He's not afraid to come up with unique voices for every character, and he's not even afraid to sing the team a song every now and again, as the story tells. This has been the perfect mix of learning the ropes and some weekend laughs for me the past few weeks. I'm excited for more to come!

Jarvis is a wonderful DM! His voices are unique and aid in immersion. His musical choices for the differing moments are always on point. He's been immensely helpful to me as a new D&D player in getting started and understanding the game. A party can be a bit like herding cats and he does his best to guide us where we need to go. When issues arise, he deals with them quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend Jarvis and OnlyDragons for both new and veteran players alike!

Amazing experience playing at Jarvis's tables! I'm new to D&D and he's fantastic with helping newbies learn the ropes. He has a great session 0 routine to make sure everyone is comfortable, gets their questions answered, and learns the basics of any tech used in the game (VTT, Discord, etc.) -- it really removes any stress so that come Session 1, everybody is ready and excited to jump in! Excellent storytelling with fantastic voice acting. Has great table management skills -- creates space for everyone to have their moment or share their idea, keeps a handle on table dynamics, and brings a lot of thoughtfulness to making sure everyone is having a great time. I would definitely recommend him to both experienced and brand-new players. Looking forward to playing in more of his campaigns!
