About Jacob
I always had a knack for imagination and a deep love of fantasy in any form, video games and novels were my escape. A desire for more control and important impact in the stories I adored drew me into D&D, and I've embraced it in full. My friends and even my coworkers all know me as the D&D guy and I've hosted dozens of games for friends and family, I thought it might be time to open myself to the wider world. Come and experience some truly wonderous stories and adventures, pulled from the mind of yours truly! -J

I became a GM because
I was the forever DM for my friends and then started writing my own world setting. I wanted to run several games in the world concurrently all able to effect each other and create a living breathing world. 10 years later we are doing it!
My favorite books are
The Inheritance Cycle, The Licanius Trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Dune, The Mortal Instruments
When I'm not running games I'm...
Diving into RPG games (and MMOS) Going on walks with my Husband! Eating great food
How Jacob runs games
I'm definitely more of the deep lore writing DM. From the creation of magic in my homebrews to the inner workings of the Infernal Courts, I dive deeply into making these worlds intricate. I adore working player-inspired lore into my worlds. I highly encourage my players to find some niche I've missed and fill it with their ideas and I bring it into a missing spot on our world. Heavy roleplay, important choices, deep lore, and wild combat are my main focuses!
