About JM_the_GM
I love creating exciting new experiences for my players and really pushing the bounds of their creativity through interesting storytelling, exploration, and combat. I've been running and playing games such as Daggerheart, Dungeons and Dragons(5e), Draw Steel, Pathfinder(2e), and Mothership for several years now. I enjoy introducing people to the hobby and as such, those who join up for my games are also entitled to off-table assistance regarding character creation, rules, in-game mechanics, or any other game related help at any time. So if you're interested in learning or playing any of those, please let me know. Everyone is welcome at my tables, so pull up a chair young and old, beginner and grognard alike. Let's tell a story.

When I'm not running games I'm...
Constantly working on creating and improving fantasy worlds, as well as coming up with interesting and entertaining scenarios for my players to enjoy.
How JM_the_GM runs games
Whether I'm running a published module, or a land of my own creation, I love keeping my players enthralled with the land they adventure on. From the scene featuring the players gathering in the tavern to plan their next move as they down mead to the soft tunes of an unknown but competent lute player, or dashing out of a rapidly-collapsing subterranean temple as the steadfast cultists of Kyna'Kul attempt to escape with the Amulet of Hashaar leaving various traps and obstacles to ensure the adventurers' doom, each and every decision you and your party makes will alter your fate: for good or for ill. Choose wisely, Adventurer.
JM_the_GM's ideal table
Players that enjoy off the wall antics, strategic infiltrations, and coming up with compelling arguments to sway NPCs to your cause will feel right at home at my tables. Be prepared to roll and think quickly, as my sessions are non-stop action. There are no "shopping sessions" in this campaign. There's just too much adventure to be had.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
I utilize Foundry as well as several other premium modules and artistic assets to bring my scenes to life. Bored of looking at the battle map from a skirmish that occurred 30 minutes ago and will only be replaced the next time you do battle? Not at my table, my friend! Come and enjoy true immersion!
I love it when a player
I love it when a player can let go and really get into their character and the excitement of the game. Some players happen to be shy in real life, but at my table you can feel free to let loose and express yourself with no fear of judgement or ridicule. You're here to play a game. By all means play!
My table is not the place for...
My table is not the place for intolerance or disrespect. Players that get their fun by mocking or making fun of others can find their fun at a different table. It will not be tolerated at mine. I offer a safe and enjoyable space for all, regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation, etc.
