About Jon

I started GM-ing out of necessity over 10 years ago because nobody would host a game at the time. I instantly fell in love with facilitating people's fantasies and helping everyone craft a world together. It also drastically improved my player relations and helped me realize how much of a team game this is. On a broader note, I'm a huge fan of art, poetry, and indie games of all kinds. These things are often inspiring to me and encourage me to always have fresh ideas while running games.

How Jon runs games

A player-first experience. I aim for everyone to feel involved and a part of the story. I take the themes and topics they care about, and we flesh them out in the game together.
