About Jason
I, like many others, started my DnD journey during the Pandemic. I immediately fell in love with the game. I jumped in with both feet becoming a DM for a local group within the first 3 months of starting as a player. I have a passion for storytelling and really want to bring my games to others and being able to make money from such a passion is really a dream for me. I want to do my best to provide an amazing experience to everyone, at a fair price, and make the story and adventure and your character's story the forefront of the experience! I am absolutely 100% inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly.

I became a GM because
I honestly prefer running games over being a player. I love leading my groups through epic adventures and watching their stories come to life.
My favorite books are
Wheel of time series by Robert Jordan Sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind Dark tower series by Stephen King
When I'm not running games I'm...
A custom knife maker. I've been making knives by hand since 2009, I specialize in Slipjoint folding knives, sporting knives and culinary knives.
How Jason runs games
The collaborative storytelling process of DnD is what I'm here for, and being able to provide a fun experience for everyone at my table is what drives my passion. I like to run my games according to the group. If its a lot of stabby people then we can have more hack and slash combats and dungeon crawling. If the group is more diplomatic then we can have a lot more social npc interactions. Every table is different so I try to accommodate as best as possible. I try to have maps, music and sound effects for most situations, but some sessions may have a bit of theatre of the mind. As for homebrew character stuff, I don't go too crazy with it but a small change here and there can be made if need be.

Jason's ideal table
My table is a dynamic and engaging digital space where creativity flows freely. Here's a glimpse into what you can expect: Virtual Setup: We gather on Foundry VTT, utilizing digital maps and character sheets made in D&D Beyond. I incorporate visuals, sound effects, and music to enhance immersion, creating a vibrant and alive atmosphere. Types of Players: My ideal players enjoy collaboration and storytelling. I appreciate creative roleplayers who love to develop their characters and explore their backstories, but I also welcome tactical thinkers who enjoy strategic gameplay. A mix of both is perfect for the diverse adventures we embark on. General Vibe: The vibe at my table is friendly and inclusive, combining light-hearted humor with moments of drama and tension. I aim to create a space where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves, and we can share laughs while facing serious challenges together. Game Style: I run campaigns that are rich in narrative and character development, often blending elements of exploration, combat, and problem-solving. I enjoy weaving player backstories into the main plot when possible, making each character's journey significant. Homebrew elements are welcome upon my approval, but I also respect the core rules of the system we’re using. Player Engagement: I encourage players to engage deeply with their characters and the story. Character deaths and failures are treated with care, providing opportunities for growth and development. I value input and dialogue, allowing the game to evolve based on player choices. Inclusivity and Respect: Creating a safe and respectful space is paramount. I have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment and ensure that all players feel heard and valued. We discuss boundaries at the start of the campaign to ensure everyone is comfortable. Session Structure: We typically play weekly sessions, lasting around 4 hours. This allows us to dive deep into the story while keeping the momentum going. I strive to maintain a balance between action and roleplay, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Feedback Mechanism: I actively seek feedback, encouraging players to share their thoughts on what they enjoyed and what could be improved. This collaborative approach helps shape our gaming experience and fosters a strong sense of community. If you’re enthusiastic about storytelling, enjoy collaboration, and are looking for a welcoming virtual environment, you’ll likely fit right in at my table!

I am for a vibe that's...
A good mix of quirky and funny but able to get serious when the situation calls for it as to not spoil the mood.
I think metagaming...
Cheats yourself and others at the table out of the full experience of the game.
I think min/maxing...
Is best saved for one-shot games. Unless the whole group is playing min-max characters it can make the one or two min maxers feel like the "main characters" due to how OP they can become.
