what is
tabletop
roleplaying…

Tabletop roleplaying is a cooperative storytelling experience, where a group of players take on the roles of characters in a dramatic adventure – Like the actors in a play, players are faced with trials, tribulations and all manner of myths and monsters in a fantastical world narrated, created, and acted out by an individual known as the Games Master, who sets the stage and fills the experience with people and places for the player characters to explore.

With a set of dice to hand and the details of their characters drawn up, anyone can take the dive into the myriad genres and worlds of their Games Master!

I’m James, the resident phantasm.

Nearly a decade ago, I was introduced to the weird world of tabletop roleplaying games when a friend simply needed an extra player, after my first ever game, I delved into the mysterious world of a Games Master for the very first time; I was hooked immediately, and haven’t looked back since.

In the intervening years I have put over ten thousand hours into the stories and spectacles I can bring to life on paper or through screens for my players, and have worked tirelessly to hand-craft every adventure they’ve took part in. Now I offer my experience to everyone, from those who’ve never rolled a dice in their life, to veteran players of a thousand campaigns in all matter of tabletop worlds, including: Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, Fantasy Flight’s 41st Millenium, and many more!

I found James just over 2 years ago, and since then we have had the most incredible adventures. He’s made me cheer out loud at the fall of our greatest enemy, curse his name in the midst of heart-wrenching moral dilemmas, and snort Ale from my nose with NPCs you love, and love to hate.

Effortlessly weaving your character and backstory into a solid part of the world, he listens to feedback and develops on it. I wont be surprised if in a few years he rivals Matthew Mercer’s storybuilding skills, and I feel so lucky to get to watch him grow as a GM.

I have been playing D&D for a few years and I can honestly say James is the most engaging and immersive GM I have encountered.

James has been running a campaign for myself and some less experienced players for almost a year, and never fails to shock and surprise!

With a sophisticated style, gorgeous maps and fully realised characters, I fully reccomend James for all your roleplaying needs.

GOLIATH BARBARIAN OF AKADI, QUEEN OF THE AIR

Never have I experienced a GM who allows such a range of gameplay in a single campaign, from fun and challenging dungeons with riddles to solve and creatures to satisfyingly slay, to fun and sometimes in depth character moments for us players to explore.

Whether we’re taking something seriously or enjoy the comedy in the moment, James is there making sure those moments are fully fleshed out. For new players he’s an essential guide into brave new world, always a fair and helpful Dungeon master. With the addition of beautifully detailed maps and wonderfully diverse characters, the surprises, shocks and sticky situations will NEVER be a let-down.
