About me
I started GMing with my very first role-playing game (the Holmes edition of Basic Dungeons & Dragons), way back around 1980. I didn't start gaming heavily, however, until after college around 1990. Since then it's been an on-again, off-again thing. Now that we're empty nesters it's been a fairly constant hobby!
GM Style
I really enjoy working with the players to create a collaborative experience. My view is that this is "our" story, rather than "my" story. Play sessions often grow organically based on the player's actions. Most often with a good deal of humor. Guy Ritchie is my hero.

Jeff puts a ton of effort into his games and his very knowledgeable about VTTs and OSR games!

He is a great GM and master of storytelling. The sessions are exciting and risk filled, death is always a possibility. It makes surviving a session that much more rewarding. His games are a go-to choice for me.

Jeff's dedication to B/X D&D is evident from the moment you sit at his table. He’s authentic to the original spirit of the game, and always delivers a fun session through the modern marvels of FoundryVTT and Discord.

Jeff is a good DM and very helpful at the table.

Jeff does a great job allowing the players to role play and develop their characters. He provides enough information and description of the scene or situation and then allows the players to develop it with their own ideas, dialogue, and actions. I really like the collaborative environment he's creating for us.
