About me
I have been playing D&D for about 16 years. I started with 3/3.5 and pathfinder, played 4th ed. and now settled on 5e for the foreseeable future. I have played Eclipse Phase, GURPS, and Star Wars (D20 & FFG). I learned quickly in college with friends and quickly became the Forever-DM. I've run countless irl games and at least a dozen through Roll20. For the past 5 years I have been building a homebrew world and set of adventures. The more my players engage the more we all discover about the world of Azure. I prefer to run a longer campaign when possible. I like to see characters and players grow. While I keep an overall campaign story in mind, not every adventurer is out to save the world, and your actions (or inaction) can have campaign altering consequences. I strive to be as inclusive and respectful as possible, please never hesitate to approach me about anything in game.
GM Style
I enjoy seeing players roleplay and interact with the world. I strive to create unique experiences for players and revel in watching them unfold mysteries. I'm a storyteller and I love to build character backgrounds with my players and help incorporate them into the story and world. I try to incorporate voices for NPCs but I am still learning to be more adventurous in this. I have played many systems over the years but mostly stuck to the traditional sets for DMing. I have run D20 Modern, Eclipse Phase, and Star Wars campaigns in the past but focus on fantasy these days. I play through Roll20 but prefer to use discord for voice/video communications.

Michael Jobenhoff
TerminalVentures has been a fantastic GM so far. As someone who has been playing TTRPG's and D&D specifically for the past 15 years, I've had a lot of great, middling, and downright terrible GMs. TV's strengths definitely lie in his creativity, his ability to roll with the punches, and his penchant for giving players the freedom to interact with the world how they see fit(within reason). We look forward to exploring more of his story and having him narrate and guide us.

Been amazing first few sessions! I am really excited for this adventure! Been great exploring and getting feed back on how to work in aspects of my character. I'm really enjoying everything so far!

Expectations for the campaign were set perfectly to define the characters. The storytelling and the intro were very well written and kept the players engaged and interested in the main story, as well as the side quests. Encounters were really well balanced and the puzzles were well done as well.

Playing their game was a lot of fun. It was my very first ttrpg and he helped me feel comfortable with the rules and mechanics and encouraged me to embrace creative choices with the character.

Allowed me to play into my characters quirks and adjusted on the fly!

Terminal has always been a great DM! I've played in 2 of his campaigns over the years and I really admire how dedicated he is to world-building, inclusivity at the table and making sure that your character's experiences and strengths are baked into the world as well. In the first campaign, I was fairly new to D&D and worried about how well I'd do, but that feeling quickly went away because he has no problem helping out beginners get into the game. Definitely pick TerminalVentures if you are looking for fun games, epic moments and dope storylines.
