About Jacob
Ever since I was young, I loved diving headfirst into fictional worlds, absorbing myself in their lore, layouts and stories. When I discovered TTRPGs, I fell in love with the depth and fun of collaborative storytelling, and the humor, tragedy, comedy and horror that it evokes in a way no other medium can. To run and play an RPG is a chance to live a different life, to step outside of ourselves for a while. I've been playing and running games for years now, and I've decided to have a go at it at a professional level. I get to play with new and diverse people, expand my repertoire, and earn some cash for peanut butter cups.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be
GURPS, Basic Role Playing and Ars Magica! The former two because they can be used to play any kind of game, and the latter because it would take me time on a desert island to gain system mastery of Ars Magica.
How Jacob runs games
I'm familiar with many game systems, and yearn to try out many more. For now, I'm running one of my personal favorites, Call of Cthulhu. The exploration of horror and mystery, combined with an absolutely stellar system that's easy to learn makes it a fantastic game to run. The most important thing to me in any game are the players. Your agency, creativity and enthusiasm are what make this fun for everyone. By working together, you get the unexpected, which makes for the most entertaining tales of all. For that reason, I prefer to provide as many opportunities as possible for you to explore the system and your PCs. If you are new to RPGs or a particular system, I am always happy to help guide you!
