About me

Greetings, my fellow Dungeon & Dragoners! I'm Jordan-Phillip McKinlay, or simply Jordan. Having immersed myself in the realms of Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition and Call of Cthulhu, I've embraced the roles of both player and Game Master (GM) over the past two years, still navigating the learning curve. In my GMing endeavors, I strive to weave engaging narratives through storytelling, roleplay, combat, and puzzles. My campaigns predominantly unfold in a homebrew world, enriched with a plethora of custom elements tailored to enhance the gaming experience. High fantasy Dungeons & Dragons campaigns are my forte. Player agency is a cornerstone of my campaigns; the choices players make shape the world around them. Whether it's deciding to face a dragon in combat or concocting intricate subplots to conquer kingdoms for amusement, the narrative direction lies in the hands of the players. Character backstories are a priority, often developed during session 0 or the initial sessions. Feel free to reach out personally if you wish to delve deeper into character development. I strive for a delicate balance between serious and lighthearted tones, adapting to the evolving narrative and player dynamics. Tools such as D&D Beyond, Discord, FoundryVTT, and Dungeon Fog facilitate seamless gameplay and map creation. Transitioning to my time as a player, my high school experiences laid the foundation for my love of the game. As a GM, my style accommodates various player preferences, ensuring a rewarding experience for explorers and combat-focused characters alike. I value and incorporate all character traits, contributing to the uniqueness of each player's journey. My homebrew world is a tapestry of inspirations from shows and games, carefully crafted to offer a rich and immersive backdrop. Campaigns revolve around the unity of the party, with the world evolving in response to characters' decisions rather than adhering to a predetermined storyline. For new players, I offer guidance tailored to preferred playstyles and preferred approaches to encounters and campaigns. Sessions are hosted exclusively in my homebrew world, and the aftermath of successful or failed campaigns echoes through subsequent adventures, creating a dynamic and interconnected game world. Join me in this ever-expanding realm, where characters may cross paths, become legends, and shape the destiny of an intricately woven narrative. I welcome both newcomers and seasoned players, inviting all to explore the diverse possibilities within my world. May your dice be ever in your favor!
