About me
Looking for a memorable, fun and hilarious time? Look no further! I'm Game Mater Jerry and I am the professional GM of 6 years you have been looking for. I started GMing with a group of friends. I then moved on to working Professionally with writing and designing TTRPGs for Dragon thrones the luxury LARP, RPG in a Castle and other mega games at Gencon. Sometimes running games for up to 50 people at once. 2 years ago I started on this site after ending my first complete online campaign. I recently completed my first campaign on startplaying from start to finish with some amazing people. I enjoy running games and teaching people the ropes. I use many custom items to bolster my games. I am talented with voices. You never had an experience with a hag or goblin until you played with me. That is just the beginning. I'm dedicated to weaving your characters backstory into the adventure, creating a truly customized experience that caters to your interests. Whether you want epic combat, an immersive experience, or some hilarious comedy. I don't delve to much into romance roleplay. I am more action and adventure. My games cover that epic experience and the rule of cool always trumps the rulebooks. My inclusive style guarantees an unforgettable experience for players of all backgrounds. Let's create an awesome world together.
GM Style
When it comes to playing D&D, Pathfinder, or any other TTRPG. There's nothing more important than having a DM who is dedicated to making an epic game that is fun and engaging for everyone involved. That is where I come in. As a GM, I strive in making sure we play in a relaxed and fair game environment, where you can be your character and let loose. Whether you have been playing since first edition or brand new to the game, I'm here to make your TTRPG nights memorable. One of the things I love most about being a GM is crafting a unique and immersive experience that makes your characters feel apart of the world. With epic battles, comedy, and epic improve, the game will be custom tailored to the players, no mater what module I am running. The rules are important in every game, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with them. While I generally stick to RAW, I'm a big fan of the rule of cool when it's appropriate. Your character can die in my game, but if they die to save another player. That sacrifice justifies a check auto passes. I also have customs rules, such as a point spend inspiration system, homebrew crafting rules, and stuff like drinking a potion is a bonus action. I try to make sure everyone gets a moment to shine and interact with things. Nothing makes me feel better, when a person breaks out of their shell. Feeling comfortable expressing their character. For my VTT experience. I mostly use fantasy grounds unity, with over $2000 in mods and books to make for an epic experience. Watch you token polymorph, have auto applications for aura effects and damage automatically reduced by resistances. Syrinscape links and subscriptions for sound effects and music. Listen to a sword hit, and a fireball explode. I also use Voicemod to further enhance my voices. Feel like your talking to a fire breathing dragon, a colossal giant, or a mindflayer speaking telepathically. If you looking for a GM who's dedicated to make your TTRPG experience the best it can be, look no further than me!

Jerry has a vast depth and breadth of gaming experience. He focuses on keeping things very active and engaging and is very knowledgeable of the VTT he uses. I also like his creative take on inspiration.

Jerry's great! A good communicator who runs a fun, relaxed game environment. He puts extra work into maps and encounters so even when you're running a commercial module it'll play differently. I'd recommend him most if you're looking for a game to smash the bad guys with your buds during challenging combat sessions.

Jerry does an excellent job of giving your character every opportunity to succeed. He rewards his players for creativity and invites them to be unique. If you are unfamiliar with Fantasy Grounds, he will lead you through it with the patience of a saint. Give this GM a try for your next campaign!

I recently had the pleasure of playing in Jerry’s Out of the Abyss campaign, and I can recommend him highly as a professional Dungeon Master on this platform. From the moment he seamlessly integrated me into an ongoing campaign, it was clear that Jerry’s creativity was going to make each session a memorable adventure. He definitely brought the dark＆twisted underworld of the Underdark, the Drow, the Demon Lords, and more to life in ways that kept myself and my fellow players thoroughly entertained. Also notable is that he runs an extensive custom inspiration-system that offers lots of perks. Jerry’s expertise with Fantasy Grounds VTT was also impressive. He navigated the platform smoothly, making the game flow seamlessly even during complex encounters. As someone playing a multiclass character with a lot of abilities to manage, I especially appreciated his ability to handle my character’s intricacies without missing a beat. He made sure everyone felt involved and understood how to make the most of the platform, regardless of our own experience level. One of Jerry’s standout strengths is his improvisation and custom content additions. No matter what curveballs we threw at him (and there typically tend to be plenty as no DM plan tends to survive contact with PCs), he always had a creative＆engaging response ready, keeping the story moving in exciting directions. His quick-thinking＆adaptability added a spontaneous, dynamic energy to every session. If you’re looking for a fun, immersive, and engaging campaign, Jerry is definitely an experienced＆excellent Dungeon Master to have running your table!

I always have a great time playing with Jerry as DM! He is very knowledgeable about the game and confident in his role playing abilities, and his attitude makes a safe atmosphere for all players. He will work with anyone and is open to each persons’ character vision. Jerry provides fascinating things for our party each session without fail!
