About SJ Hart

Hello weary traveler, I am Shuffle, a world builder, published author and adventurer. I am a father of two and I love storytelling. I have been hosting table top games for over 25 years. My GM style is a mix of RP and combat with a focus on share narrative creation. I love to create worlds where people can experience things our world doesn’t offer. A long rest, disposable income, magic swords, dragon friends, adventure, traveling with friends, a sense of direction and purpose. If any one of those sounds fun to you please shoot me a message, or sign up for a game. The best adventures are shared. LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent friendly

Featured Prompts

I got started GMing...

To tell shared stories that matter. Ones that people connect to, enjoy and feel something. To make this world a little better, one session at a time.

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

I am reading, writing and spending time with my family. I love people and stories. Each person is a story and getting to know my children is the greatest tale of all.

How SJ Hart runs games

I love a good mix between RP and combat. “You can certainly try.” I am terrible at voices but I try to make every character unique and feel alive. I believe in the rule of cool, and the expression of fun.

I prep by

My prep is catered to each player and the shared story. I have an extensive world guide built and fleshed out, but what I don’t have is you. Finding how each player fits, affects and sees the world makes all the difference. I can throw monsters on a page, but you are what brings the game to life.

My games focus on...

Player agency. Your choices matter, your character matters, and you matter. Combat, role playing, or simply choosing to give some gold rather than take it. Each choice shapes the world in larger ways than you may be able to see.

SJ Hart's ideal table

My ideal table is a mix of role play, storytelling and combat. You need stakes and risks, but also time to process and heal.
