About Jari

I am a supervisor and Paramedic for the FDNY. In my daily job, I lead teams and handle high-stress situations. I bring that same professional, organized attitude to every D&D game I run. Why Play at My Table? I am reliable. I show up on time and I keep the story moving. You will never be left wondering when the next update is coming. I keep it simple. Whether we are playing over text or in a live session, I help you with the rules so you can focus on the story. I am a pro. I know how to manage a group so that everyone has a good time and feels respected. My Game Style I run "Dark and Gritty" games. The world is dangerous, resources are low, and your choices have real consequences. I like stories about survivors and "blood-debts" where you have to work hard to win. I am bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish fluently.

How Jari runs games

Fast, Fair, and Fun When you play at my table, here is what you can expect: Luck and Skill: Like any good game, the dice decide your luck. Sometimes you win big, and sometimes the dice go against you. That’s what makes it exciting! Smart Play Wins: Don't just look at your character sheet—look at the room. I love it when players use their brains to solve problems. If you have a great idea, I’ll usually let you try it. Actions Matter: This is a "living world." If you burn down a building or save a village, the world remembers. Your choices change the game for everyone. High Risk, High Reward: Life is cheap and gold is king. You level up by finding treasure and surviving dangerous jobs. Be careful—death is a real threat, but the rewards are worth it. A Rough World, A Safe Table: The game world is gritty and can be mean, just like history. However, I want every player to have a good time. If something in the game makes you uncomfortable, tell me. I will change it. Your fun comes first. Show Up and Play: I promise to be on time and ready to go. I ask that you do the same. If you have a problem or a question, just talk to me! I’m here to make sure we all have fun.
