About me

I've been a Professional Game Master since 2018, and I've been running games since 2009, with the majority of my games being in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. I specialize in custom settings and stories, and I want to give each player the game experience they're looking for! Let's make some stories together we'll be talking about for years to come.

GM Style

I focus on role playing, using combat to further the narrative. I differentiate my NPC's with different voices and mannerisms, and I like to focus on your characters and see them develop. I rely more on theater of the mind, and use music to fit the scene, but I'm putting effort into making more custom maps and visual elements.

Jason is a caring DM that provides entire worlds of content and characters for his players, and goes above and beyond when it comes to time and adjustment to make sure they're having a great time. He makes for a wonderful experience and the foundations of roleplayer communities even beyond his direct sessions, and I would recommend him to almost anyone looking to get into tabletops.

The world-building as well as the openness to both roleplaying and combat allows the party to truly shine! While some fights seem harder than others, the feeling of getting through such tough battles allows one to feel as though one truly succeeded in the face of danger. I highly recommend him to any beginner 5e players or even veterans looking for a fun and exciting adventure!

So fun! The storytelling is engaging and feels appropriately dire. The characters are fun and diverse (and hot!!!) Jason is very good at environment building, really can not recommend enough.

Hello, I wish I could've clicked all of the tags! Jason is an INCREDIBLE GM. Not only is the setting and story thoroughly set up and prepped, it's engaging and captivating. He does a great job of immersing you in the story with tone, ambiance, and really cool voices! The gameplay runs smoothly, too. You can tell he has a firm grasp on the rules, and he cares about your characters + overall experience. I said: "Can my cross boomerang be almost as big as a person, for the flavor?" And he said: "Yes, absolutely." Love to see it! Rule of Cool forreal! We asked for a bit of a challenge with combat, and he delivered! I'm having so much fun with this campaign and would love, love, love to play another game with Jason. As a bonus side note: Jason was SUPER helpful in helping us set up our characters in Roll20. I'd only ever used it for maps, so there was a bit of a learning curve. Wouldn't have been able to do it without his help, and it was super appreciated! TLDR: Jason runs an amazing and engaging game, and he cares about the story and your characters! 10/10 would recommend!

First off, I wish I could have been able to click a few more tags. TLDR: Awesome game and awesome game master. Good for all experience levels. Creative and fun while also organized and knowledgeable. Had an AMAZING time. This was my first time using Start Playing. I will be honest I was very nervous about this whole thing, jumping in with a random GM and random players. This experience could not have turned out better. Besides having a creative setting, Jason is an excellent story teller. He set the mood, told a a fun story, allowed it to be a collaborative process when it needed to be, and did an exemplary job of making sure all of his players had a good time. It was a safe environment, a organized session (with amazing prep and pre-involvement from all players), and just fun, which is my main objective. As I told Jason when we ended the session, I look forward to gaming with him again at some point.
