About Jari

I am a Lieutenant for the FDNY. I lead teams and handle high-stress situations everyday. I bring that same professional, organized attitude to every game I run. I'm 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. I am bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish fluently.

How Jari runs games

🎙️ Roleplay & Worldbuilding I run grounded, atmospheric roleplay focused on meaningful interactions and tough choices rather than theatrical Shakespearean monologues. You don't need to be an actor or do a silly voice to play at my table. I focus on distinct NPC motivations, rich sensory worldbuilding, and letting your decisions shape the story. ⚔️ Combat & Tactics Combat is fast, lethal, and tactical. I run a narrative-first style: you tell me what your hero wants to do based on the environment, and I’ll tell you if you need to roll dice. Use the room, take risks, and think like a real survivor. 📜 Rulings Over Rules I prioritize table momentum over flipping through rulebooks. If the rules are vague, I’ll make a fair, common-sense ruling in the moment to keep the action moving, and we can look up the exact wording after the session. 🎲 High Stakes & Living Worlds I don't fudge rolls or use "DM vs. Player" tactics. Success feels incredible because it is earned, and failure creates unforgettable drama. Your actions leave permanent marks on the world—factions remember who helped them and who burned them. 🛡️ A Tough World, A Safe Table The setting might be brutal and unforgiving, but the table is a warm, inclusive, and supportive space. Safety tools (like open-door policies and private DM lines) are always active. Respect between players is absolute.
