About Jack

Hi there, thanks for checking me out! I'm not very good about talking about me, but we're not here for me. We're here for you, and the stories you can tell. All I do is put all my creative energy in to making those stories come alive in the most glorious and colourful way possible! Pre covid I ran professional face to face 5e games and have 10 years experience. I've had hundreds of players, and thousands of games at this point. Never once ran a premade module. I like my homebrew! I have voice performing experience and am educated in creative writing. I tailor games to suit the individual, and have a varied mix of RP, Combat, Exploration, & Dungeon Crawling. I'm currently focusing on my homebrew pirate 5e campaign, The 8 Oceans of Halan'orax. My finest work yet, feel free to have a look at any listings!

I became a GM because

Nobody could do it to the same standards I set for myself.

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

Approachable, Fun, Friendly

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

Raising kids, living a normal life, and prepping to run more games. I'm always looking to make what I have just that little bit better.

How Jack runs games

I am an excellent roleplayer who always creates combat encounters perfectly balanced to the party's abilities. Not only that, I make engaging, immersive, and narrative led campaigns with relevant and plot enhancing encounters. I don't just throw a bunch of goblins at you! I provide in depth dungeons with custom puzzles and unique experiences. I homebrew all of my campaigns and one shots, and always include player backstories into the world I create for you.

Featured Prompts

I once ran a session...

Where the players went to celestia to save their cleric's friend soul that started a war between Bane and Torm. It culminated with them nuking heaven with god energy. It was wild!

My games focus on...

Bringing a mix of roleplay, exploration, dungeon crawling, and combat, that all builds towards a singular narrative.

When it comes to voices

I am a professional. Accents, tones, vocal changes, sound effects, growls and grunts and snarls. I do all the shebangles!

Jack's ideal table

My ideal table has nothing but people who are comfortable and participate. Everyone feels equally represented, and there are no personality clashes (outside of game)

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Takes the initiative in roleplay. I love it when characters can just spend 20 mins chatting 'slice of life' stuff. I think it really helps develop a party bond.

I think metagaming...

Is fun to an extent. I'm not afraid to say 'you might know that but your character doesn't'. But the joy when a player guesses their walking into a green dragon lair and their excitement when they realized they guessed it right is a lovely feeling for me.

I think min/maxing...

Is a perfectly acceptable way to build a character.
