About Jim Likes Games

If you recognize me, it may be because you bought a game from me! As a retailer at my Modern Myths shops and as a convention vendor with Indie Press Revolution and my own Jim Likes Games booths, I've been involved in the making, designing, selling and playing of RPGs for more than 40 years. I've run every edition of D&D, as well as a host of indie and small press games in my shops, at cons (I'm a co-founder of Indie Games om Demand at Origins) and online. I love all sort of RPGs, from hardcore trad to the most esoteric Indies. If there's something you're looking for that you don't see listed on StartPlaying, feel free to ask! All of my sessions are played with a robust set of Safety Tools that make sure we all have fun (including me!), and I love teaching new players.

How Jim Likes Games runs games

My favorite approach is character-driven plots with lots of player input. Expect to answer questions and help build our world and its inhabitants throughout the entire course of our campaign. I'm most comfortable with narrative-forward systems that still provide mechanical backing (like Powered by the Apocalypse, Cortex, or Forged in the Dark). I require Safety Tools and an inclusive table, but I never require homework.
