About Jon - South Mountain Games

Welcome all! I'm Jon. I've been playing and running TTRPG games for almost 20 years, and I'm excited to play alongside you! Personally, I'm a husband and father, and I live in a small, country town alongside dogs and chickens. I grew up obsessed with fantasy video games, books, and anime, and try to incorporate different ideas from them into my games. I have years of experience cultivating stories and worlds with others and even a little voice-acting experience with an anime studio. I'd love to partner with you to go on an adventure!

Exceptional Gaming Experience with Jon on StartPlaying I recently had the pleasure of participating in a tabletop role-playing game hosted by GM Jon on the StartPlaying platform, and I cannot express how fantastic the experience was. Jon's expertise and dedication to creating a memorable gaming session truly shone through. From the moment the session began, Jon's mastery of storytelling and game mechanics was evident. He effortlessly guided us through the adventure, keeping the narrative engaging and the gameplay smooth. His creative world-building and immersive storytelling brought the campaign to life, making it a captivating and unforgettable experience for all players. What truly sets Jon apart is his ability to adapt and cater to the preferences and skill levels of all participants. He ensured that every player felt valued, and his patience in explaining rules and mechanics to newcomers was commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Jon as a GM on the StartPlaying platform. If you're looking for an extraordinary tabletop gaming experience led by a talented and personable Game Master, Jon is the perfect choice. I look forward to future sessions under his guidance and cannot thank him enough for the incredible adventure he provided.

Jon is a very nice guy and a really great DM. He makes fun voices and roleplays well while still keeping things moving at a good pace when it comes to combat and exploration. From the start he answered my questions and was supportive of my character ideas and choices and allowed me to feel I was important to the story and to the game. He helped setting a cool environment where I felt included, welcomed and appreciated. I appreciate all the hard work he put into making sure the session flowed smoothly with dynamic lighting, maps, npc character portraits, etc. He clearly works hard and is prepared to deliver a great experience when you sit down to play so I couldn't ask for more.

Jon is a great DM. Has an incredible gift for voices and is easy to talk to. He adds a creative and original twist to our kingmaker campaign that makes it a whole new game! 10/10 would recommend!

The first session was really well run. He gave each of us time to do things and had great voices for each npc. I'm really looking forward to seeing where the story in Kingmaker takes us.

I’ve played in multiple campaigns with Jon from various settings. The consistent themes across them have been his ability to fill the world and ground your character in it, challenge your team in combat, and reward and adapt to your involvement

I am a new player and he has been very patient with me while also helping to gain knowledge of the rules. The story is never what you think and the world is dark and mysterious.

How Jon - South Mountain Games runs games

I prefer a rules-light, laid-back approach to gaming. Fun is always first in my games. Your characters are at the center of the world, and I work to adapt campaigns and modules around what you and your characters are passionate about. What makes my style unique? I believe art is 360 degrees and endeavor to create living, breathing worlds and characters that you’ll love to experience and that adapt to the characters you create! ⭐ Combat - I believe combat is meant to be fun and fast ⭐ Character Voices - as a former background voice actor at Funimation, expect lovable NPCs and deplorable villains ⭐ Care - I care about your character and want you to succeed ⭐ Custom - I’ll share custom classes, items, and custom campaign materials that I’ve created with my players through our Discord ⭐ Come join me!
