About me

I am passionate about TTRPGs as a way to connect and unwind. I see the games we play as a form of self care. It gives me a great amount of joy to hear that my players had a good time. I starting playing D&D and Shadowrun as a teenager in the late 90's. My friend group drifted apart and I stopped playing until 2020. I started playing again as a way to escape the doldrums of self isolation and I fell in love with TTRPGs all over again. I've been an active D&D player for 4 years and a DM of a weekly game for 3 years. My local group encouraged me to sign up and become a professional GM and now here I am! My games are always LGBTQ+ and BIMPOC friendly. My goal as a GM is to make sure that everyone has fun in a safe and welcoming environment. It is not enough to be tolerated. Every player and character needs to be celebrated for what makes them unique. I am open to feedback and always looking for ways to improve my skills as a GM.

GM Style

I like to include a balanced mix of social encounters, exploration, and combat. I try to embrace the rule of cool where I can but I always try to make sure the game stays balanced for all of the players. I occasionally like to throw in a puzzle here and there. I'm not afraid to wrap up an encounter if it starts to get stale. I am a firm believer that your characters should get to use their abilities to be awesome and do awesome things!

I've been playing in one of Jeremy's campaigns for around 6 months now. He's great at making everyone feel included and incorporating pc backstories. He's one of the best DMs I've had the pleasure of playing with.

Especially generous with his time, Jeremy was willing to meet before sessions to iron out character development and walk newbies like myself through the process. During the game he did a great job of managing chaos and keeping the story moving without feeling like we weren't allowed to explore or shop :)

Awesome experience. Jeremy helped a group of random players in a level 20 one shot have an awesome experience with exciting and challenging combat along with good role play and exploration. Highly recommend.

The game had a good pace to it and moved to a final conclusion with multiple physical paths towards the final battle. All roads lead to Rome or the final confrontation.
