About me

Hello and thank you for considering playing an incredible game of Dungeons and Dragons with me and others! I have been playing D&D for almost 20 years now, starting with 3.5 edition and taken on the role of both player and Dungeon Master. I myself enjoy playing D&D as well on Start Playing where I get my weekly fix as a player and I enjoy hosing games to share that joy with others as well. What do I bring to the table? -Full D&D Beyond Character Creation options, with an overwhelming majority of content unlocked and a Master Tier Subscription to fulfill all your character customization dreams! -This includes 3rd party content from Ghostfire Gaming, Kobold Press, Critical Role, etc. -Audio during games from Tabletop Audio, YouTube Premium, etc. -Experience with maps and custom tokens making for a seamless VTT experience to go with your convenient D&D Beyond Character Sheet that is friendly for beginners and veterans alike! -Discord Nitro Server for better audio and visual streaming quality. -Owlbear Rodeo Subscription for multiple private rooms. -Thorough notes are taken on my end using Notion.so that way I can take the stress and work off you the player of note taking (although highly encouraged to enrich your experience and immersion in the game). What kind of games should you expect? -I enjoy hosting games of various styles, but my specialty is horror, eldritch horror, high fantasy, and decisions matter style play. -I take inspiration from modules like Curse of Strahd, Dungeons of Drakkenheim, and Ebberon. However I enjoy reading many different modules to draw inspiration from. -I try to engage all your senses when you play the game and not just the visual aspect, describing the sounds, smells, tastes, and touch of the world around you. -Rule of Cool will always prevail. I try to follow the rules set in the D&D 5th edition ruleset, however rules should not inhibit fun! If you have an idea of something you want to try, I will do my best to adjudicate it and make it happen! -I am punctual, communicate timely, and am always willing to meet and discuss your character ideas, what kinds of things you want to experience in the game, and your goals. -Session 0 is always included at no charge where we will discuss boundaries, game preferences, character and campaign fantasies that the party wants to experience, etc. -I enjoy a blend of combat, roleplaying, and exploration, however I try to avoid tedious exploration that takes away from the fun. I focus on keeping the pace of the game going so the group isn't too caught up in one scene, battle, or social interaction, unless everyone is really getting into it. Thank you again for taking the time to click on my game and/or my profile to consider me as a host for your games! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meeting on Discord to talk virtually. I look forward to bringing your D&D fantasy to life at the virtual table! -Sincerely, Jim

GM Style

Roleplay, descriptive combat, and scenes that engage all the senses are my specialty. I will tailor the game experience to the things you want to see most in your game, which we will discuss in Session 0 and any outside meetings you wish to have. Do you love crafting? Then lets expand on that! Tactical combat with lots of enemies and a dynamic battleground, lets get that fix for you. Faction intrigue, NPCs that form a real relationship with the party and have weight in the world, character backstory integration, I will work to make it happen so that you are immersed in your fantasy game and the party gets the maximum enjoyment out of every game! I'm no professional voice actor and while I do a little bit of voices, I won't make it super cheesy. I do my best to focus on giving NPCs a personality so they don't all feel like the same person, each with their own bonds, ideals, traits, and flaws. The ultimate goal is always to have fun and keep the story moving through quests, interactions, and a fulfilling experience. I'm always open to feedback and a meeting to discuss what you want more or less of in the game.
