About Neffy's Adventures

Hello all! I am Jake Neff, otherwise known as Neffy. I am a highly invested GM with over 3 years of DMing experience. My friends and I began playing Dungeons & Dragons 5E during the Covid years. With no available DM at the time, I was asked to give it a shot and have been thriving in the chaos ever since. I have been hosting a continuous campaign every weekend for the past two and a half years; constantly challenging and engaging with the party in a world of my own craft.

I became a GM because

During the chaos that was the beginning of Covid, my friends and I were all down in a funk. As we were finally able to see one another again, a friend of mine had mentioned playing a tabletop game that allowed for players to enter into a new world; I wanted to be a part of it.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Engaging, Descriptive, and Innovative. They tell me that they enjoy the wide variety of intriguing environments and demanding challenges.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Spending time with my wife and two boys. We enjoy hiking and going on adventures to fill their minds. In my free time, I like to play video games and read books. I have recently been enjoying Fallout 76 and The Fourth Wing.

How Neffy's Adventures runs games

From battling massive ice creatures while sliding down a mountain side, to sitting in a cozy tavern and sharing heroic stories of previous encounters; players can expect a diverse range of social, environmental, and physical encounters that will challenge them while providing a meaningful story.

Assessing if the applications of the rule, in balancing the game, is worth modifying to allow for more cinematic and invested gameplay.

I prep by

Studying character stories, or notes from previous sessions, to ensure that I can craft a suitable, entangling story for each player.

My games focus on...

Character and world growth. I love seeing how the players impact the world through the choices they make; sewing new destinies with the threads of chaos.

Neffy's Adventures's ideal table

Some of my players have described my campaigns as a roller-coaster of emotions. From silliness and laughter, to tears and anger, I enjoy providing a wide range of scenarios that tug at the heart strings. The atmosphere of my tables are mostly laid back but engaged. Seeing people morph into their characters and live within the story is one of my favorite parts of tabletop gaming. If you can enjoy a good laugh while knowing that danger is around the corner, then my table is for you.

I love it when a player

Sinks into their role as a character and feels the emotion in the moment. I love when characters connect to one another; sharing hopes and dreams, knowing that any battle could be their last.

My perfect party mix is

A wide variety of differing mindsets and personalities that can come together to tackle a problem.

My table is not the place for...

Bullying in any aspect. From racism, to sexism, to just being rude, I do not tolerate any hate against players or their ideas.
