I got started GMing...

I got started being a gamemaster when I was ten years old, after having played a variety of TTRPGs since I was six. Dungeons and Dragons was my first, followed soon by other game systems such as Champions, Cyberpunk, Vampire the Masquerade, Wraith, and more.

How Jenni the Jester runs games

Jen’s specialities reside in multi-genre, rich storytelling, voice acting, roleplaying, cosplay, and immersive gameplay. Jen prefers the theatre-of-the-mind, so as to ensure the player stays within the story unfolding. The campaigns and one-shots you will play with them will have an equal balance between combat and gameplay/storytelling in order to feel like it’s a part of the story unfolding, verses something forced. Rules are guidelines at their table, so do not be afraid to ask to try something that maybe bends them a little or to create something anew! The players at their table go away with an experience they will love and never forget, for the stories you forge, together, will remain within your heart as time goes on. Jen is also passionate about bringing variety and inclusion to the table. LGBTQIA+, advocate, and friend, they strive to make the players comfortable at the table as we navigate the subtleties of our stories that unfold. Jen will also do everything in their power to ensure the gameplay is as accessible as possible. Players will receive a pre-campaign survey to ensure comfort levels with topics of gameplay for each new campaign. This way you, the player, will be at ease and can feel free to dive in and enjoy the game. The goal of every game session with their players is simply to have one thing: fun.
