About Jimmy Sides

I am an engineer who enjoys all things creative in my free time. I am currently making a sports comic book and am a player in one long-running D&D campaign with my friends. As a GM I have run 3 campaigns, ranging anywhere from one player, to 5. Both brand new players, and vets! I hope to run excellent games for my players and help them find the most enjoyment out of their time. If you are having fun, then I am having fun.

How Jimmy Sides runs games

I'm Jimmy Sides and I run D&D 5e campaigns focused on political intrigue, tactical combat, and long-term storytelling. I specialize in tactical combats and weaving player backstories into high-stakes settings where decisions matter and challenges are real. Expect detailed prep, strong voice acting, balanced homebrew, and a fair, neutral GM who makes your character part of the world.

I prep by

I prep by the book. I have large lists of characters, locations, and adventures ready to go. Verisimilitude is important to me as a game master. Prepping a ton gives me the feeling that the world is real and that's what I love about prep. I am uncovering the world as it exists.

My games focus on...

Vaudeville Humor, fun adventure scenarios, and magic items.

When it comes to voices

🎤 I get into it. Don't try to talk to me the day after, I'm too hoarse 🐴

Jimmy Sides's ideal table

My table loves to laugh during role-play, loves to collaborate during combat, and loves exploring down to the smallest corners of the world. When establishing a group, I have found it is necessary to lay out the boundaries and rules that all players and myself are expected to operate by. I am not afraid to confront players and listen to their feedback if those boundaries are crossed.
