About me
I have been telling stories through the Table-Top RPG medium since 2005. If I have learned anything in that time, it's that the best stories come from players when a DM opens the world up to them and lets their ideas drive the experience. Most of my experience is with Dungeons & Dragons and Star Wars. I have run a few stories with Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk RED that I really enjoyed, as well as with a handful of other systems. My sessions tend to have a focus on story and roleplay, however, more than anything I try to pick up on what my players want from their story and tailor the experience to them. I love writing stories and learning new systems. Please reach out to me if you have a specific idea in mind for your play experience. I would love nothing more than to work with you to create a story that is unique to you!
GM Style
Most often my stories are open-world and roleplay-centric plots with multiple branching story arcs to drive the experience. Even when running pre-made content, I am happy to allow players to take the story off the rails and make it their own. The more I get to know a group, the more I tailor the experience to what they enjoy the most.

Ever since the book Wild Beyond the Witchlight was announced I knew I wanted to be a player in that story. I was fortunate enough to find Jeremy’s game. He has brought that adventure to life in ways that I never imagined. His NPCs are unique and enjoyable to engage with. He is an amazing storyteller and I enjoy every moment of the game. I hope you can find the time to give one of his games a try. It is an experience you will not forget.
Jeremy is very good at what he does. He is a great story teller and doesn't miss a beat when flowing with an every-evolving story. He is also very friendly and a blast to play with. I am an absolute beginner and this was my first time ever playing D&D period. Jeremy had me up to speed and playing with other more veteran players in a single session. 10/10 would recommend!!
Jeremy is a great GM for people who are excited to focus on roleplay, and want to be creative in the game. He's great for beginners because he has a lot of patience, but he knows how to challenge players who've been doing it for a long time and need to shake things up. He likes to have a good time. We laugh a lot in our campaigns! One time, our very serious characters ended up accidentally creating a rave, and I remember sending a video to my partner just in stitches laughing. While he might have some house rules, for the most part you can trust that he'll follow what's in the rule books. If there's an exception, he's going to let you know ahead of time and be very transparent about it. He's very LGBTQ+ friendly, including with genderqueer and polyamorous people. You won't find sexual violence in his games. He's also very open to discussing specific triggers if you need.
