About me

Hey, I'm JP. I run games built on character, collaboration, and consequence. For me, the story starts as a fixed path—the story exists, fully formed before the game starts. At that point, player agency gets a major vote. Your characters matter, but the world won’t wait for you. This isn’t a video game where the villains stand around waiting for a boss fight. They have their own goals, their own timeline. Your job is to interfere, change the outcome, leave your mark—make an impact. That means *you* shape the future, for good or ill. I build settings that breathe and change. They have history. They have momentum. And they don’t revolve around the players—they *include* them. I’ve been running games for decades across systems like *Masks: A New Generation*, *Vampire: The Masquerade*, *Dungeons & Dragons*, and others. I care about building stories where actions matter, and where your choices echo beyond a single scene. I’ll never force you down a single path, but you also won’t be left without direction. I give players the tools to act, understand the stakes, and make meaningful choices. Whether you follow the trail, forge a new one, or double back entirely—the world will move, with or without you. When it comes to character creation, my focus is helping you craft someone you want to play and inhabit—someone layered, someone compelling, someone you're excited to return to. We'll work together to build a background that makes sense in the world and supports that vision. I’m not interested in cookie-cutter templates. I want characters that feel real, and players who are invested in the journey. I run games in worlds that reflect the real one: diverse, complex, and full of nuance. That includes race, gender, orientation, and relationships of all kinds. These aren’t included to provoke—they’re included because that’s what people are—complex and varied. You can expect mature themes where appropriate, including emotional depth, identity, and sexuality. If the idea of diverse characters or stories involving intimacy or complexity feels like “woke nonsense,” I’m not your GM. No sweat. We're just not a match. If you're looking for a world that responds to you—and expects you to respond in turn—you've found your GM.
