About me

What's up, Nerds? It's Tabletop Roleplaying James (TTRPJ)! Jimmy the GM, The Indulgent DM! With over 24 years of Dungeon Mastering under my belt, I've delved into the depths of every published edition of D&D since 3rd edition. My games are rooted in a meticulously crafted homebrew world, a diverse tapestry almost two decades in the making. This "kitchen-sink" setting ensures flexibility, enabling players and fellow DMs to integrate characters, stories, and elements from any realm or setting, ensuring a unique experience each session. My most recent endeavor? Translating all 5e published adventures into the mesmerizing Spelljammer setting, beginning with the freshly released "Phandelver and Above". Dive into a universe where every narrative, old or new, can find its niche. Join me for an adventure like no other.

GM Style

Delving deep into a world of my creation, my GM style embraces a harmonious blend of roleplay and combat. With a penchant for lively character voices and quirky mannerisms, I strive to offer my players an immersive experience that's both memorable and fun. While I lean towards indulgence and leniency, allowing rule-bending for innovative play, be warned: every action has consequences, and what you can exploit, your adversaries can too. Drawing inspiration from a rich tapestry of genres – from spine-chilling horror and profound existentialism to high-magic fantasy, magi-punk, and traditional realms – my campaigns promise variety in every session. While a sense of light-hearted humor is a staple in my tales, I gracefully pivot to heavier themes should my players steer the narrative that way. In essence, my games are a dance of mirth and might, where every player's choice shapes the story's course.
