About me
Hi, I'm Jacob, and I have been both a player and GM for over 6 years. I have been running multiple games for a couple of consistent groups in those years and wished to give other players looking for a hopefully fun and relaxed atmosphere, a chance to scratch their itch to try or continue playing TTRPGs. I mainly run homebrew settings and games (Dungeons and Dragons 5E, Call of Cthulhu, and Fabula Ultima mainly, as of late) that allow players to work together to weave an epic tale where the world can be influenced by their decisions and deeds. I pride myself in trying to be as understanding and accommodating for many people and give them a safe environment to enjoy their time both in and out of game and am always open to ways to be a better GM and person for you to trust with your time.
GM Style
I run beginner friendly games that can be roleplay heavy, though I do not shy from action packed or cinematic sessions. I also try to bring an air of personality to the world and NPCs the players interact with. I am always ready to answer any questions or issues that the players run into during and out of session. Whether it be a ruling or a feature within their kit that confuses them, I will always try to answer and come to a satisfying ruling for everyone. All games I run take place in 1-3 various homebrew settings with some altered rulings, new mechanics and content, a new world to explore and learn about, a different pantheon within the world, strange and challenging creatures, and casts of characters that the players may interact with or bond with if they wish. I encourage players to make the character they wish to make without having to worry too much about party composition. There are ways to have varying roles filled with the option of allies or recruitment. I wish for players to play or roleplay the character they wish and makes bonds with each other or allies you believe would only make your experience more memorable.

My first ever D&D session was with Jacob and I have to say was one of the best sessions I’ve ever been in. He made the character creation fun and easy. I am not the best at making characters but I appreciate the ways he engaged some ideas I had for my character. The world he makes are very interactive and feels as it’s a living, breathing world. I believe Jacob is a great DM for beginners (I know from experience) and long time D&D players alike.

Jacob is great about story delivery, fun characters, and impactful moments that will leave you wanting to play more. He is very inclusive with anyone who comes to play at his table, and will try hard to make you and your character feel important to the lore of the game. I've been a member of several of his games and I always find myself engrossed in the world, characters, and plotlines. More often than not, he has unique voices, attitudes, and lore behind nearly every NPC you meet, making the world feel alive and thriving. If you are looking for someone who has amazing characters, a fun world, and plotlines that leave you on the edge of you seat, I recommend Jacob as your GM.

Be prepared for a big expansive world with lots on very Unique NPC's and lore that plays into the greater narratives. The DM is very helpful for helping tie your character to the world during character creation. If your up for an action-packed campaign with good story-telling this is the DM for you.

If you value a GM to supply you with quick visual representation for their settings and those that inhabit the world then look no further. From personal experience however, some of the best moments for character development happened in his games. Its a rare treat to find someone who pays particular attention to emotional detail.

Been friends with him since high school. He's always got a new game he wanted to try with all of us. We were happy to give it a try. Weather it was fighting werewolf's and vampires, to punching the literal Greek God of the Sun in the face, or having a memorable moment with a character and NPC even if they had the most traumatic childhood of both their lives. He's always there to keep you on your feet for more.

Fun to play with. Gives time for each of the players, and doesn't force players into uncomfortable situations. Good with player freedom when creating characters. Almost never misses/is unavailable for a planned session.
