About Jack

With more then 10 years of DMing I am happy to start a new world with you. I have experience with both small parties that are sometimes a single player and large parties with once running a Westmarch with more then 20 players. I enjoy empowering my players to tell the story they want to tell with their characters. I like to be accommodating to any of my players needs, descriptive with environments and combat, and try to be fair but firm in my ruling. TTRPGs are a great experience for everyone to enjoy and there is so many stories we can still tell. I hope i can be the dm for you to tell these stories. I would also love to learn new systems so excited to eventually run them for more players

I got started GMing...

I started this journey like some GMs would with most likely should have just wrote a book but I am happy to have met so many great players and learned so many great lessons. changing this game into a collaborative story telling and experience for us all. Also we had more players then GMs

People are always surprised when I tell them

To describe the environment for me. tell me what is wrong with this abandoned house. How are people celebrating this joyous moment. Lets make this world together.

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

Listening to video essays on history or games or just interesting topics so I can gain more ideas from the strangest places on the internet; love to run with random ideas. The other thing is i am listening to music at all times and love to discover new songs.

How Jack runs games

I enjoy tactical combat with the threat of losing being there but not a guarantee. As the dm im always trying to get the players a win but it doesn't mean that your character is immortal. I like horror of most flavor in my games but can understand what would be too much for player to player. I would love to know what would be your vails and stops so we never go too far but we know where we can push it. I love the power of creativity. If you want to do some thing like catch a ballista bolt out of the sky cause you haves 25 strength then why not lets try it out. if you want to Reflavor your fireball on a necromancer match your death powers then sure lets make it do necrotic damage and called shadow ball. do you want to do a dual weapon build but it doesn't quite fit what your going for or it does zero damage, then we can give you a long sword and just Reflavor your character is swinging twice a turn. I enjoy showing off the power of my players and hate the idea of DM pcs. this is a game for us all to express and delve into and as a dm i have lists of npcs and bad guys to act out myself Were here to enjoy our time so why not make it our own game.

I think it's a red flag when players...

Try to control another players turn. There is no right or wrong action for a player to take. I do understand helping out players especially on a stressful fight and wanting to work together but let people enjoy how they play.
