I got started GMing...
in 2000 when two clients I supported asked me to run the new D&D 3e box set, and the joy at that table made me a Forever DM.
How Jester runs games
I aim for fairness and clarity so generally run RAW but make alternate rulings when it improves the experience for the whole table. My games balance role-play, exploration, and combat, with puzzles used sparingly unless the group loves them. When I run published adventures, I stick close to what's written but adjust anything that doesn't serve the players so the story lands the way it's meant to.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
Ron Howard: heartfelt, clear, and centered on people finding their way through big moments.
Jester's ideal table
My table is calm, welcoming, and built around making sure everyone feels comfortable and included. I try to communicate clearly, keep a steady pace, and make sure the spotlight is shared so players can engage in the way that works best for them. I'm patient, flexible, and happy to meet people where they are, whether you're brand new, returning after a long break, or someone who thrives with a little extra clarity and structure. If you enjoy collaborating, respect the group, and like a mix of role-play, exploration, and combat, you'll fit right in.

I think it's a red flag when players...
tell other players how to run their characters "the right" way.
