About me

Hello! I started playing D&D back during the early red box days, took a very long break, and have rediscovered my love for TTRPGs in recent years. Mostly playing and DM'ing D&D 5E these days, which I got into back in 2015. I have an in-person group that meets regularly, and two different online campaigns going (one as a player and one as a DM). I'm very comfortable with online systems like Roll20 and Foundry VTT, as well as using Discord. I've run several of the official adventures, as well as written and run my own original adventures and campaigns. And speaking of writing, I have several items published on DMs Guild, including the popular "Puzzles, Predicaments, and Perplexities" series. I'm looking forward to running games and meeting players of a wide range of experience, and I'm just as comfortable DM'ing for veterans as brand new players.

GM Style

I absolutely love the roleplay aspect of things, and enjoy social encounters just as much as (if not more so) combat encounters. My adventures always give the players an opportunity to talk their way out of combat, though sometimes it might not be easy. Voices? I'll try them for different NPCs, with varying degrees of success. For combat, I like to keep the action moving and encourage players to have an idea what they're going to do before their turn comes around. Puzzles are also my thing (as evident from my DMs Guild titles), though I don't go overboard with them and understand not everybody enjoys them. Overall, I'd say you can expect a well-paced session with a wide variety of encounters.

I had a lot of fun in Jaspor's "How the Lich Stole Christmas" one-shot. It was very humorous and totally nailed the Dr. Seuss vibe. There was a nice mix of role-play and combat. I would definitely play in his one-shots in the future.

Jaspor is an incredible DM. He is an incredible storyteller and is very helpful during gameplay. His stories are entertaining and combine combat, puzzles, and storytelling. He is a DM I would join again.

Had a great time in his spooky oneshot! There were only two of us, but he did quick adjustments and was able to seamlessly edit things for just us two, and it was a lot of fun rping and bouncing off the very memorable NPCs. ( Chadrick, you’re a personal favorite of mine .) I think beginners would have a really great time and an easy transition in.

Had a blast! I was new to using Roll20 and Discord and Jaspor made it super easy. The game was well run and played more towards the combat and fun side, just my style. I would recommend this GM for any game.
