About me

Hello! I go by Jupiter, and I have a deep and abiding love for TTRPGs that I want to give to as many tables as possible. I rolled my first d20 with my middle school friends in a snowed-in cabin, and have been spellbound to the wonderful worlds we make together ever since. I've been playing and running games whenever I can, and have been GMing for the better part of a decade now. In addition, I've been taught by a community of master-class GMs and players on how to run for a beautiful multitude of tables, and I'd love to share what they've given me to as many people as I can. I've got a personal preference for urban fantasy/urban horror games, with my favorite DMing moments to date being from those games/genres. But beyond that, I love running any system that rewards player creativity, strong cooperative roleplaying, and a desire to engage with your character and the world. My favorite games that I've run are Vampire: The Masquerade, a multi-season chronicle in my own hometown, and a truly mind-bending Wildsea campaign with the trippiest ending I've ever seen.

GM Style

I believe that I am best at setting up good roleplaying opportunities for my player(s). This isn't to say that I neglect combat or exploration in my games, but I believe that good roleplaying moments can be more memorable than the other two. I love working with my players in order to set up dramatic, thrilling, heartbreaking, and triumphant character arcs/scenes for them. I also am partial to constructing mysteries and love hearing the table theorize about what's going on. Furthermore, I equally love the 'gotcha' feeling that a cunning player gets when they are one step ahead of me and the shock a player has when they realize that they've been played the whole time. In regard to combat, I focus on making my fights dramatic and story-focused, and also a tactical puzzle to overcome. I care a lot on balance and ensuring that the players have to work for victory, but that they also will have ample opportunity to use their coolest power and cleverest strategies. Exploration goes hand-in-hand with mystery/intrigue, so I prioritize the sense of wonder and discovery that makes exploration truly fun, taking the opportunity to flex my descriptions and truly immerse my players in the worlds we make together.
