About J.R. Liggans

As a professional voice actor, I turn NPCs into communities full of friends, rivals, and foes that will immerse you into your character's experiences. Using my skills as a talented writer, I develop characters and bring worlds to life by offering campaigns full of role-play opportunities. I create an experience that allows you to immerse yourself into it by combining battlemaps, music, and smoothly-flowing gameplay to give you the highest possible production value. Most of all, I value the player. My games are ALWAYS made to be inclusive so that everyone can have fun in a safe environment. So send me a message or get signed up now - it's time we create something amazing together.

How J.R. Liggans runs games
Roleplay is the most important part of the game; without it, all our characters are just lifeless statblocks. I love to help my players bring their characters to life. I'm a training voice actor, so I love to make NPCs unique with distinct voices. That said, combat is still what gets you to the treasure when you can't talk your way past the dragon, and exciting combat is my favorite part of running and playing the game!
Featured Prompts
If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
Ryan Coogler. His films Black Panther, Creed (1, 2, & 3), and Sinners are creative templates for the way I want my stories to feel. I love to make my stories serious, while allowing space for the players to keep things light and guide the tone. Serious subject matter and deep characters are key!
J.R. Liggans's ideal table
Featured Prompts
If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
high-investment storytelling
I think it's a red flag when players...
do things to make other players uncomfortable. My goal is to create a space where we can all have fun and we can only do that if the table is a comfortable place for everyone there!
I think min/maxing...
is just a part of creating a full character. Strengths and weaknesses are part of what make a character who they are.
