*********************

Game will be played weekly during the same time each week. Webcam and microphone with solid internet connection required. Anticipated duration: 2 years. The GM Jason runs five other games for DnD Club, most of which are 30+ weeks into gameplay.

GM uses StreamYard, Discord, D&D Beyond, LIve Battle Camera and Online VTT Tailspire for the game

Campaign Overview:

Embark on an epic journey to uncover the lost treasures of the legendary pirate lord of Darktow in Stormwatch Island, a Dungeons & Dragons adventure set in the breathtaking world of Exandria.

As whispers of the island’s existence spread across the realm, powerful factions from across Exandria race to claim its riches, forging a thrilling tale of high-seas adventure, treachery, and discovery.

In Stormwatch Island, players will find themselves entangled in the dangerous world of piracy, navigating treacherous waters and navigating the murky depths of political intrigue as they vie for the legendary treasure. The adventure begins in Darktow, the infamous pirate haven, where players must gather information, build alliances, and chart a course to the elusive island. As the adventurers sail the seas in search of Stormwatch Island, they will encounter ancient ruins, uncharted islands, and deadly sea monsters, all while battling rival factions and navigating the ever-changing weather that seems to be controlled by the island itself.

Each challenge will test their skills, wits, and resolve, pushing them to their limits as they unravel the island’s secrets and race to uncover the pirate lord’s lost riches. Players will need to forge alliances with the various factions vying for the island’s treasure, from cutthroat pirates and cunning thieves to ambitious nobles and secretive organizations.

Each faction has its own motivations, strengths, and weaknesses, and players must navigate the treacherous landscape of Exandria’s politics to secure their place in the race for Stormwatch Island. At the heart of the adventure lies the mysterious Stormwatch Island, a place shrouded in magic and obscured by powerful enchantments.

As players delve deeper into the island’s secrets, they will uncover ancient relics, forgotten temples, and powerful artifacts that could change the course of Exandria’s history. But with great power comes great danger, and the adventurers must be prepared to face the island’s deadly guardians, as well as their own inner demons.

Will your party triumph in the race for the legendary pirate lord’s treasure, or will you fall victim to the treachery and deceit that permeate the world of Exandria?

Great story teller

September 21, 2023

I’ve been playing in Jason’s Fool’s Errand table for over a year now. It is my Sunday night fix, and has been a mainstay of my weekends. Jason has crafted a fantastic story, with intriguing characters and twists and turns throughout. There hasn’t been a single night when we finished and I thought “well, that was a waste,” (outside of a night of HORIBBLE rolls and completely misread situations that trashed our game plan, but we still had a blast!! LOL).

Jason is patient with n00bs, but also challenging for vets of the game. He seems to have a keen sense of intuiting your game ability and challenging you at a place that will be difficult but not insurmountable. He’s also a great listener, and if you can think it, he’ll try to think of a way to make it happen within game mechanics.

I had the pleasure of playing a lvl 20 one-shot with him a couple of weeks back in place of our standard game, and it was the most challenging and simultaneously rewarding night of DnD I can remember!

All in all, he’s a fantastic GM, and I hope any new or veteran player can get a chance at the Storyteller’s table!

Awesome game!

September 19, 2023

It was a awesome group with an great DM. The game was very newbie-friendly, and there was a nice variety of characters. I loved the run-down before game of expectations for game play. The adventure was tricky and I got to utilize some ball bearings with varying levels of effectiveness.

My only (very small) critique would be that I wish there was a little more hand-holding pre-game as I was coming into the game with zero idea of how online DND would work, and had limited experience with online character creation. The Discord assistance with my many questions was so very, very much appreciated.

I hope I get to play at one of your tables again! Thank you!!!!

Great one-shot

September 19, 2023

I played a one-shot with Jason. It was very challenging and fun. Jason was a great host in all regards, including in the support before the game. Big thanks!

The game in it self help me a lot a getting a grasp on the action economy for a character I was creating.

My only gripe is that I do wish we missed one of those enormously high checks for some added drama – but our dice game was just too good! 😀

Thanks Jason!

Well I had only a few sessions with Jason, and I can say he is the best by far. He know how to keep you attention in the game, he has a lot of experience being a story teller/ GM he has this way of making feel comfortable in the group. I am a shy person and I am mostly quiet and have a hard time being comfortable in front of people that I don’t know. He knows how to navigate you in the right group that can make you feel welcomed and understanding of social interactions. If I get a chance after this campaign to be in another one I would definitely love to be part of this group I am currently in and have an amazing second chance with Jason as my storyteller/GM.

Jason is a stand up guy. As a brand new player he was patient and supportive in including me and made sure I was having fun. I feel like I know what I’m doing now and I’ll be in one of his campaigns for as long as I can.

I am in two campaigns he's running and I look forward to playing both each week! He expertly crafts a compelling story with challenging but rewarding combat. Jason also listens to how you want your character to progress, and does a wonderful job at weaving those threads into the campaign! I leave each session wanting more and re-loving DnD! If you like a fair share of all the three pillers of TTRPG (RP, Combat, Exploration) then get a seat on one of Jason's tables! You won't regret it!

Jason is an amazing person and extremely talented, skilled and knowledgeable game master/dungeon master. I used to enjoy playing DND. Now, I love playing DND. The story lines are entertaining, and engaging while the combat is challenging, never a cake walk but always rewarding and the RP is like a tv table read. This campaign will end one day, it will be a very sad day....... unless I can immediately jump into another one of Jason's campaigns. Thanks Jason!

I have had the pleasure of playing 2 D&D campaigns and Candela Obscura with Jason. I was fairly new to D&D and very inexperienced with the role play aspect when I started playing with Jason. I have grown and improved so much as player at Jason’s tables. Jason is so good at what he does you get very invested in the story being created. He really knows how to balance combat extremely well. I am someone who likes strategy games & rising to the challenge Jason delivers it like no other. I don’t know how many voices Jason can do but it’s so many & so impressive I think he might have missed his calling as a voice actor. If you want compelling role play and difficult but rewarding combat grab a seat at one of his tables when you get the chance.

I'm a first time D&D player and was unsure about getting started - but Jason made the experience more fantastic than I could have imagined. He brought together such a fun group of players, has patiently explained aspects of the game and has created such a vivid and wonderful fantasy journey. I look forward to the three hours of game play every week and can't imagine having this kind of experience without Jason's imagination and passion.

You never have to worry your level of playing. You can play with veterans. You can be the newbie. And it’ll just be fun because Jason easily brings everyone onboard and helps you along. As well, he pays attention to your characters stories. You don’t just make a character and run through his own adventure. Your role is incorporated and the best part is you have no idea how! Just play already!

Jason lives and breathes tabletop gaming. The campaign is well planned, described to the players, acted out and entertaining. I’m participating in a home brew adventure of Jason’s creation. It’s designed for beginners allowing Jason to explain the game mechanics without impacting the fun of the adventure. Beginner and advanced players will enjoy an adventure lead by The Storyteller Jason.

I get up at midnight every Saturday (I live in Germany) and have three of the undoubtedly best hours every weekend. This is my third campaign but I’m still a bit of a newbie and the rest of the group are first timers. Jason provides a completely immersive world and always takes the time to pause and explain anything from the online enviroment (Talespire) and game mechanics to the fun of actual role play. This game is the absolute highlight of my weekend :D

In the symphony of voices that echo within the labyrinth of my mind, there exists a harmonious chorus of anticipation and excitement, all directed towards a singular focal point: Jason’s Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Week after week, Jason’s mastery as a Dungeon Master transcends the boundaries of reality, leading us on an odyssey through realms both familiar and fantastical. We truly look forward to these few hours every week

This is my first official D&D campaign and Jason provided a fun and immersive experience that gave us room to explore our options and shape our story. He's also always willing to listen to any issues we have while playing the game. I highly recommend him to any newcomers and veteran players!

I've been a player in one of Jason's D&D 5e campaigns for a little shy of two years. He is great! The worldbuilding he does is so rich and engaging (lots of mysteries to be unraveled and NPCs to play with), and combat is super fun and varied. Love the combat boards he sets up!

I'll also add -- I had watched a lot of D&D actual play before I started this campaign, but had never actually played before. Jason made me feel comfortable and welcome even though I was a newbie!

I have been in Jason’s campaign for a little over a year, it was my introduction to the world of D&D – and I cannot recommend him enough! He was very thoughtful in the way he introduced me, and other new players, into the campaign, explaining things along the way all while creating an exciting and immersive world. Now the game is one of my weekly highlights! His campaigns are THE MOST fun, and have converted me to a lifelong fan :)

I have played through two full campaigns with Jason. The first was two years, and the second was just over a year.

Jason is welcoming and encourages the best in players' creativity. He cares more about the relationships groups have instead of getting every rule or decision perfect. I had the great joy to play two characters that helped me become the best player I could be: collaborative, humorous, and powerful.

I'm looking forward to joining a third adventure with him. Sign up and get in on the fun!

I did 2 years with Jason in a single campaign, and it was amazing! The story telling, the use of technology, the above-board discussion and compromise, the balance between common sense and the rules — it's all there. A perfect DM.

Jason is a Phenomenal DM. He works with you on the type of story you want for the game and your character while throwing in some twists and turns that you wouldn't expect. I have played in 3 of his games and each one feels completely different and each campaign is so memorable. If you ever get a chance to play in one of his games DO NOT! Hesitate on grabbing one of his seats.

Playing this game has become the highlight of my week. Not only has it provided an escape, but it's also a space where I, along with others, can freely express ourselves, be fun, crazy, and truly be in the moment, even on days when I'm not feeling my best.

One aspect I particularly admire is how each session feels like a complete episode – with a clear beginning, middle, and end. It's satisfying, immersive, and gives a sense of closure, making you eagerly anticipate the next session.

Thank you Jason for crafting such engaging storylines and for fostering a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued.

Jason is one of the best Storyteller's I've ever worked with. He creates this fun atmosphere where strangers become lifelong friends. Every session is a safe space for us, for our characters to have fun, to grow, to even possibly survive a TPK or the end of the world. I look forward to Jason's games. Each week they happen it's the only thing I talk about and look forward too, especially when real life sucks. As I said in my title, until Jason retires or gets sick of me, I'll be a lifelong player for any of his campaigns.

Playing with strangers that become your friends, and supporting each other’s play styles and character development is the kind of space Jason creates. We are all safe and respected and his priority is making the game fun for everyone. This is my second game with Jason. He asked everyone in the last day of our first campaign if we want to continue and join another and I signed up during the conversation. And I’ll do it again, and again, and again.

Playing with Jason is a great experience. He is weaving intricate narratives that engage and captivate. His attention to detail and adaptability make every session successful. He obviously puts a lot of thought into every NPC, plot twist, and environmental challenge. If you are considering joining one of Jason´s campaigns, do it and don’t miss out.
