About Jacob
I’ve been a passionate GM for over three years, running a variety of tabletop RPGs across different systems and genres. Over that time, I’ve honed my skills in storytelling, world-building, and creating dynamic encounters that keep players engaged and excited. I love crafting immersive narratives that balance deep roleplay with tactical challenges, ensuring every session offers something memorable for everyone at the table. My journey with tabletop games started even earlier, and I’ve always been drawn to the collaborative storytelling and creativity that this hobby fosters. Whether it’s high fantasy, sci-fi, horror, or something entirely unique, I enjoy tailoring experiences to fit the group’s style and preferences. Being a GM is more than just running a game for m it’s about building a fun, inclusive community where players feel empowered to explore their characters and shape the story. I’m excited to bring that energy and dedication to every session and help players create unforgettable adventures.

I got started GMing...
When 6 years ago I got invited to my first DND campaign. I honestly didn't know what I was getting into, as I have heard of DND and watched streams of it but never played. 100 sessions later.. I was so into it I had a longing to GM!
My favorite books are
LOTRs, Maze Runner, Into the Woods and any DND book.
When I'm not running games I'm...
I am making Minis and painting them.
How Jacob runs games
When you join one of my games, you can expect a strong focus on immersive roleplay and character-driven storytelling. I love creating rich worlds where your character’s choices truly matter and shape the narrative. If you enjoy exploring your character’s personality and building meaningful relationships, you’ll feel right at home. At the same time, I design combat encounters to be tactical and challenging no mindless brawls here! Every battle will require teamwork, clever planning, and thoughtful decision-making. The stakes are high, and your actions have consequences that ripple through the story. What makes my GMing uniquely mine is the balance I strike between deep roleplay and strategic combat, combined with a flexible storytelling approach that adapts to your decisions. I also encourage creativity and player input, so expect a collaborative, fun environment where your ideas help shape the game world.

Rules are...
The foundation of the game itself but can be interrupted multiple ways. I encourage everyone in my games to speak up and ask. If you never ask you never know.
Jacob's ideal table
At my table, we blend the cool and the meaningful. The drama hits deep, the jokes land hard, and the world responds to your choices in a way that feels alive. It’s emotional, it’s rowdy, it’s personal, and it’s unforgettable. The tone shifts — sometimes dark, sometimes hilarious, always honest. We set time for real moments, and the funny ones as both is what makes a table a table.

I love it when a player
Encourages others to RP as it is a fun way to express yourself through a character. I think it has a way of making it more immersive.
