About me

Hi! A Film and Media teacher by day, and Film and Media student by evening, and a weaver of a tales by night - how do I do it all? Overcommitment and stress - or perhaps, a little bit of magic? 😉✨ I’ve been a DM, hosting one-shots and a couple of long-form games, for a good number of years. I've helped out with Manchester's Rainbow Dragons LGBT TTRPG (*huff* how many more letters ARE there??) group, as well as a good few personal games. I’m here to tell stories and have fun, for new and experienced players, with silly magic fellas. Come on down, let’s get rollin’!

GM Style

I like putting the focus on you, the player, and accommodating the nonsense you'll be getting up to. My games usually lie on the humorous side of things - whether it's setting up your proud elven clan imprisoned in the icy tundra prison by the mad mage Sänta Klaus, or finding yourselves taking over the running of The Peckish Pegasus bistro, I take my nonsense seriously. You won't find intense rules lawyering with me. My priorities lie on making sure you're having a good time, and that I'm having a good time, and that we're all having a good time playing make believe with our silly wizards.

If you want to play in a fun, creative and inclusive game this is the DM for you! Sessions with Jay never cease to be engaging and innovative. Jay is confident and has some of the best voices I have ever heard. Never a dull moment, but trust me, he can bring out the heartbreak too!

A really fun DM with creative and fun settings and stories. Fully rolls with nonsense and allows for great moments of player creativity. Some of the most fun times I've had playing DND!

Jay has a unique style… but oh my word what a style. Laugh a minute and always has an amazing npc stashed somewhere that you’ll want to take them home. Jay runs a safe inclusive game for all and would be great for new and experienced players. 10/10 one of the best DM’s

Jay lead me and a party on epic pirate themed campaign full of memorable, well fleshed out and voiced NPCs, Tense battles and tonnes of laughter. Would absoloutely recomend to anyone looking for a DM to run a game that you wont want to stop playing.

Some of the best one-shots I’ve ever played were with this DM!! Very fun, well balanced split of role-play and combat mechanics, full of interesting puzzles and silliness!!
