About me
About Me: I am a Canadian born guy, currently living in Bangkok, Thailand. I have been living and travelling abroad for over 10 years now and it has helped me to meet thousands of wonderful people and engage in exchange of culture. I have a background in Education and Sales. I am able to draw on my experiences to help bolster and develop my DM style. I absolutely love character development, intriguing social structures, difficult choices, and challenging encounters. The games I run are a mix of Wizards of the Coast official content, sprinkles of Dragonlance, and heavily homebrewed. My main campaign exists in a completely homebrewed world, the land of Azorea. A world playtested and fleshed out through two separate, long running campaigns. The world is full of interesting places, people, and fearsome challenges and dangers. Each campaign is its own and the way the world unfolds and reacts to your actions will be entirely unique to your game. The world may be the same at the beginning of a campaign, but it will look very different by the time you are done.
GM Style
I make a great effort to create a living breathing world in which your characters play an integral role in its history and future. I aim to weave the story around your created characters and their backstories. You are a part of this world and the world will change as a result of your actions. The world is very much an action and reaction type setting. I look forward to working with you to create a character that you will enjoy developing throughout our campaign together. As long as the rules of the game are being adhered to, I am very much a Rule of Cool DM. I love my players to feel like Bad-A's and using their cool abilities to alter the world and battlefield around them. The balance between combat, roleplay, and exploration can vary widely between campaigns. One group may enjoy the smash and grab type playstyle, while another might prefer political intrigue and high stakes social encounters. While I aim to have a mix of all aspects to my game, I can appreciate that certain groups are looking for a distinctive playstyle, so I will work closely with all of you during our session zero to develop a clear idea of your expectations. I am always willing to receive feedback, critiques, and requests from my players. We are all learning and growing together, if at any point there is an issue, or simply something you wish to converse about, I am an open door DM. Just as the world is always changing and in flux, so is our game environment. If a certain aspect of the game excites YOU and would like to see more of it in game, I am only a message away. Through teamwork and collaboration, we will create a memorable and exciting campaign for everyone involved! I look forward to meeting you in the world of Azorea.

Jeff is a really fun DM. He copes well with beginners and he's open to a lot of improvisation as long as it makes sense lol. He allows his players to build the world with him, and tries to makes sure that everyone is equally having a good time.

Reckless is a fun guy who makes the game fun for everyone and can successfully keep players engaged with audio-visual aids and enticing storytelling that keeps people (or at least, me) up at night wondering what is going to come up next. He is also helpful toward new players and toward players who wish to do something creative, always within the realm of possibilities of DnD.

Reckless is a great dungeon master. He always listens to feedback and tries his best to make the games interesting. He always knows how to weave each and everyone's characters into the storyline in a way that is impactful and synergetic. As long as you voice your opinions, wants, or just your thoughts in general, he will accommodate for you. His storytelling is amazing, and he uses music, prepared scripts, and lots of media to really set the scene.

It was a 'simple' one-shot (which just happened to last longer than expected, as they often do ^^) but it still felt like playing with friends that you have known for a long time rather than a group of people that you never met before. Everyone could create a character that they would enjoy and the DM would adjust the story accordingly to better match the fun (weird?) characters that we created. The DM made sure that every player got their time to shine and that nobody was 'pushed aside' by others. By default we play by the rules as written but they are used as guidelines. If rules won't allow something but that something is just 'too cool' to do then we went with the new Rule of Cool. RP is encouraged as well (hence why most one-shots turn into 2 or 3-shots ^^) to ensure that characters feel more alive. Of course this all depends on the consensus of the group as well and the DM listened to our wishes to ensure we could all have a good time. If you are not sure if he's the 'right' DM for you then don't be afraid to ping him privately. Have a nice chat with him and ask him some questions. That way you can make a more informed decision :) Have fun All ^^

Reckless is an amazing GM! He listens to players and gives them the freedom that other GMs don't. He is great at story telling and always knows how to run great games :D
