About me
Hi there! I am most known for being the host, producer, writer & presenter of the "Lore By Night" podcast, which focuses on the World & Chronicles of Darkness. I also wrote "The Kindred Wheelchair" & "The Autarkis Storyteller" homebrew supplements for Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition. Outside of this, I have run horror-themed actual plays and oneshots for and with the TTPRG, from content creators, TTRPG authors/developers (mostly notably World of Darkness & Onyx Path Publishing) and everyone else in between over the last 3 years (as of writing). I have been sponsored by Angry Hamster Publishing (Witch Fated Souls) You can find a growing portfolio of my games with the link below https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTDXW0PEYBq--pxqFyTbgOpZ2aw0YsQV1 As your Storyteller, I encourage accessibility, diversity & patience in everything that I do, willing to adapt (within reason) to suit my players' needs. Whether you want a big ol' chat about how things will be run or want consent sheets, I am willing to talk things through to find the right means to support your needs. Whether you're a veteran at a given system or hadn't touched a TTRPG before, you are welcome at my table, providing you offer the same triad of consent back and you consistently come to play. I will not tolerate personal bullying or harassment of any sort. You will get 1 warning, then you are gone.

If you like dry, witty British humor mixed in with loving attention to detail, definitely play with Lore! He enjoys what he does, and that energy is infectious. I always have a great time when he's running the game. 🥰

I've been a fan of Wraith: the Oblivion for decades and Lore by Night made my first time playing as a player-character a great experience! He creates an interesting setting and story to navigate your characters through, that came to a satisfying conclusion in the one-shot that I played in. I highly recommend checking out his games.

All the stars for this ST! I really enjoyed the session I took part in; the story was immersive and engaging from the start, and there was plenty of balance between moving the narrative ahead and giving room for character moments. I've never played Wraith the Oblivion before but this made it fun and accessible and I'd definitely play Wraith again after this. Communication during character creation was awesome and this continued into the session, really making a fun and comfortable space to tell a spooky story together.

Good introductory 1-shot for Wraith the Oblivion 20th anniversary edition. Jack makes sure to weave an experience that makes everybody feel like they are a part of the game and that their characters matters. His best quality is definately how he does storytelling for the whole "table" and not just himself, which is quite clear through his way of engaging everyone in the story.

I've had a thoroughly enjoyable experience playing. He's also very accommodating.
