About me

Hey all! I am a school social worker by trade, and I run D&D 5E for the kids in the framework of group therapy and social skills development. However, my preference really lies in more old-school, crunchy games such as 1st Ed. 7th Sea, Torg, and D&D 3.5. I am a firm believer that elaborate rules don't necessarily have to interrupt a good story, as long as the GM is good at navigating them. If you are interested in any of these systems, please reach out: as I get my feet wet, my rates will be very competitive.

GM Style

Long(ish) campaigns. A good mix of roleplay and strategy. Character driven stories and customization of rules to suit player interests.

Jon has an amazing ability to create a dynamic immersing experience that is extremely engaging beyond belief. I love the way he easily explains the rules. His guidance around the rules is really easy to follow. i love playing with Jon and would recommend him to everyone. Jon has even led campaigns for high school students who still ask for him till this day.
