DM Jakob
I’m excited for the chance to play games with you.
Jakob (they/them)
I’ve been a DM for several different TTRPG’S, primarily focusing on D&D 5e, for over nine years now. I’ve been professionally DMing for just over 3 years and I’m excited for the chance to play games with you.
I’ve been involved in performing arts for theater and improv for over a decade and like to bring my professional and educational experience with these to the table.
I run a wide array of games for players of all experience levels. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, your enjoyment at the table comes first. My hope is to help teach newer players the ins and out, and also engage experienced players in fun and challenging ways.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, my table is a place where players can feel safe while having fun and knowing that their voice will be heard.
The games I run include WotC published campaigns, as well as homebrewed campaigns based on other campaign settings (Ebberon, Domains of Dread, etc.) I know there will be something for everyone in my games.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any and all questions, and I greatly look forward to getting to play with you at my table.
MY STYLE
My focus is on creating an adventure for us all to enjoy, while keeping a focus on the player characters. Each game experience is going to be unique to you and your party. I like to get into Roleplay with everyone and their characters but very much enjoy the goofy moments of levity as well. I like to keep everyone engaged through a combination of RP, combat, and environmental storytelling (puzzles, ambience)
I like to use a mix of Roll20 and Discord, for virtual maps and tokens, theater of the mind, digital dice, audio, and voice chat.
REVIEW
I’ve wanted to play an Eberron campaign for months now and jumped at the chance to join DM Jakob’s Forgotten Relics this past Friday. I have a particular affinity for Warforged since I played one in a non-Eberron campaign. Jakob’s descriptions of the damaged Warforged fighters touched my heart in a special way. HIs descriptions of the different levels of Sharn- from squalid to splendid-gave me a greater understanding of all the possibilities this setting could hold. His frictionless DMing guided us through the story expertly without feeling railroaded. He was kind and patient when answering my questions or clarifying anything I was confused on. He has earned my trust and I look forward to joining games of his in the future! TY for a wonderful experience
