About J'ohn Krane
Hello there. My name is J'ohn. I am a GM who enjoys immersive and theatrical D&D games. I believe that with some dedication and work, D&D games can be elevated and be much more than just people rolling their dices and using their imaginations to roleplay. And my role as the GM would be to make that into a reality. 🎲I Enjoy: - Studying lore of any subgenre materials - Creating meaningful stories that make everyone at the table shine - Immersive and memorable role playing - Playing and designing games

I started running games because...
I just love telling stories not as the main character/party but as the very world they would thrive and triumph in.
My favorite shows/movies are
The extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy
When I'm not running games I'm...
Spending time studying, reading, and enjoying the very lore of DnD and its wonderful world.
How J'ohn Krane runs games
🎲As a GM I bring to the table: - Immersion and mood with appropriate BGM, Art, SFX, etc. - Inclusive storytelling that gives every player meaningful opportunities to take the spotlight - Dedicated roleplaying with voice acting and a voice changer so each NPC sounds, acts, and feels unique - Balanced mixture of combat and RP so each session feels satisfying

I prep by
thoroughly reading the story, lore, and NPCs at least a couple of times so I can immerse myself in the setting and feel confident running the session. Then I go through a special checklist to help make the world at the table feel alive.
My favorite trope is...
A once glorious world that has faded into darkness over the ages, and characters rising up from the shadows with their own purpose in mind, be it glory, salvation, or destruction...
Rules are...
More of a "Guideline" that should be followed most of the time but can be ignored when the moment calls for it.
J'ohn Krane's ideal table
🎲My table is a good fit for players who: - Love to seize the moment when given an opportunity to take the center stage - Enjoy a mixture of comedy and seriousness while knowing when to switch in between - Use their knowledge and experience to unleash their character's abilities in both combat and RP - Prepare backstories for their characters so they can be fully alive and active in the world over the table

I love it when a player
Comes up with a bit/answer that I was thinking of so well that we actually resonate and make the moment shine even brighter
I think it's a red flag when players...
Interrupt other player’s moments and be genuinely rude. I believe manners are important, especially at the table.
I think min/maxing...
Can be fun if everyone’s on it. A min-maxing party of players and a ruthless GM? Their battle will be legendary!
