DM Jedi Mindauce is a true standout among DM's. I've been playing tabletop RPG's for over 10 years now, and I can honestly say that he is one of the best DM's I've ever played with. It's rare to find a DM who can improv, tell a compelling story, build an engaging and immersive world, AND do some killer voices and impressions! He's also a wizard when it comes to Foundry VTT. His maps are always new and exciting, and he has a wealth of assets and resources loaded into his Foundry VTT, which make rolling and level-ups feel seamless. I cannot recommend him highly enough to players of all backgrounds and experience!

Mindsaucy is not only an excellent DM at a technical and mechanical level-- knowing the rules, making fair rulings, keeping the game moving, and engaging players-- but their skills are FAR beyond just the mastery at the art of being a GM. They do excellent world building and story telling-- all enhanced with a highly customized, visually engaging and immersive implementation of Foundry. Every session I fall in love with his NPCs, which are all well crafted characters. They work to weave your PC's background into the story, too. They're always well prepared and has a variety of different encounters, no matter what pillar of DnD you like best. Also super kind and very patient with a player like me who does not play much 5e and has never used a VTT. Definitely recommend them for a one-shot or whole campaign!

I've been playing with the Jedi for several months now and the games are always fun. There's a decent challenge, but you still get to feel powerful. Great guy and great fun!

I never had a professional D&D experience before DM Jedi Mindsauce. Let me just say that he sets a high bar. He offers great storytelling, atmosphere, characters, voice acting, and an open world approach that gives players a lot of freedom. I have a feeling I'll be gaming with this DM for a long time given the terrific experience he offers!

As a first time DnD player, I had very little knowledge of what to expect along with all the rules/nuances of the game. Jedi Mindsauce has made the whole experience easy to understand and has been tremendously helpful providing guidance and leeway to a player who is just getting his feet wet. I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience and am looking forward to all the other campaigns & one-shots I will play in the future thanks to Jedi Mindsauce's introduction to this universe.

TLDR... COMPLETE PACKAGE - AWESOME! As the title indicates, DJ Jedi Mindsauce has proven to be one of the BEST GMs that I’ve had in my 40+ years of playing Tabletop RPGs! I myself have been a game designer for nearly 30 years so believe me when I say that I have an extremely “high bar”, and Jedi has lived up to my expectations. Between the virtual tabletop that he provides, as well as his host of characters/voices that he's created for his worlds, he has given us one of the most "complete" experiences that I've ever had while gaming. HE CLEARLY LOVES WHAT HE DOES! He bas been a great GM so far and I have no intention of finding another one anytime soon.

--- If you are looking to get into gaming, or just looking for your next adventure, I urge you to read more about my experience with him so far...

My friends and I have been playing with him for close to 6 months now and his well thought out, immersive world(s) never cease to impressed me. I absolutely love his virtual tabletop solution (accessible via any browser so no need to “download X or Y to get started”), along with all of the various maps and other information he has plugged into it. (Players can recall everything they’ve seen during the game so far, maps, images, letters/documentation they find throughout the game, a list of important NPCs you’ve encountered, it’s truly impressive.) As for my group, a few of my friends were new to D&D and Jedi was more than patient with everyone in the group, helped get everyone started, and continues to be a patient teacher as we have been evolving our characters as we level. (He has even responded to private messages between sessions as time permits.) He clearly thinks through what us players “might try” because he always has a great response (always in character), to everything we throw at him. He has given us an incredible amount of freedom to push the narrative where we'd like (as opposed to "sticking to a specific script" like many GMs), yet our story has continued to progress at an even clip. He is more than willing to work with the group and goes out of his way to make everyone in the party feel like the "heroes" that TTRPGs have always given us the platform to be. On top of this, he clearly has a great sense on how to balance combat encounters that cater both to the group's composition (our specific classes) and the number of players. (Even when we have the occasional group member missing here and there.)

The bottom line is that If you give this guy a chance, I guarantee there's a strong likelihood that you will have found your new GM for the foreseeable future. I couldn't be happier that we chose to go with him as our GM, he's absolutely fantastic!

About

Hello There! Greetings from the Jedi’s Holocron

I’m DM Jedi Mindsauce, a long-time Dungeon/Game Master with over 8 years of experience running games across a wide array of settings, genres, and systems. From intense, character-driven roleplay to high-octane, visually stunning combat encounters, I’m dedicated to crafting unforgettable stories and experiences for my players.

I understand the importance of balancing compelling storytelling with heart-pounding, high-stakes gameplay. Whether you’re diving deep into the emotional arcs of your characters or facing off against enemies in explosive, mapped-out battles, I’m here to deliver an immersive adventure.

Games I Run:

ALIEN RPG
Tales from the Loop
Deadlands SWADE
Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Star Wars 5e
Superheroic 5e
Delta Green
Call of Cthulhu (including Pulp Cthulhu)

What I Bring to the Table:

Expert Storytelling: With a passion for narrative, I excel at weaving rich, detailed plots that pull you in. Whether it’s a sci-fi thriller in ALIEN RPG or an epic fantasy in D&D 5e, the worlds I create are dynamic and alive.
Foundry VTT Mastery: Using the powerful Foundry VTT platform, I elevate gameplay with animated battle maps, enhanced effects, and streamlined automation. The result? Less time on the math, more time on the action.
Character Voices and Depth: Every NPC you meet will feel like a real part of the world, with distinct voices, backgrounds, and motives that make interactions come alive.
Customization and Flexibility: From homebrew rules to official systems, I tailor every campaign to fit the needs and desires of the players. Whether you’re in Delta Green, Star Wars 5e, or Pulp Cthulhu, every story is shaped by your choices.

My GM Style:

Immersion Meets Strategy: I blend deep role-playing moments with strategic, grid-based combat to keep players engaged in every aspect of the game. Whether you’re rolling dice in a tense firefight or negotiating with a powerful NPC, every action you take feels impactful.
A World of Possibilities: My campaigns are sandbox-style, full of open-ended stories and paths waiting to be explored. The world reacts to your decisions, making each session feel like it’s truly shaped by the players.
Rule of Cool: I stick to the core rules but always make room for creativity. If it fits the story and makes the game more exciting, I’m all for letting players break the mold and do something legendary.
Transparency and Fair Play: All my rolls are out in the open, and I never fudge the results. I believe in letting the dice shape the story, for better or worse, creating thrilling and unpredictable moments.

Before You Sign Up:
- Commitment: Consistent attendance is important to make sure everyone enjoys a cohesive story.
- Communication: I value player input and feedback. Clear communication helps craft the best experience possible.
Tech Requirements:
- A Browser: Compatible options include Opera, Firefox, Chrome, etc.
- Working Microphone: For clear communication during sessions.
- Decent Internet Connection: Ensures a smooth gaming experience.
- No Software Purchases or Accounts Needed: You don’t need to buy or install any software, nor create accounts anywhere. Everything is handled through your browser for a seamless setup.
Reach Out to Me:

If you’re interested in joining an adventure or have questions, feel free to contact me through my website or reach out on Discord (username: DM Jedi Mindsauce). Let’s create some legendary stories together!

Session Length and Communication:

Game Sessions: Typically, my sessions run around 4 hours. Occasionally, there will be 2-hour or 90-minute sessions, but the event description will clearly state this. I respect everyone’s time and will always check in if a session might run 5-15 minutes over. Most find the -hour mark is ideal for engagement, but I’m open to adapting session length based on player preference.

After You Sign Up: After signing up, you’ll receive a Discord link that will lead you either to a general server for one-shots or mini-campaigns or a dedicated game server for longer campaigns. The general server is a great place for players to hang out, chat, and share interests. For longer campaigns, I provide a private server to foster camaraderie among players and keep game resources organized.
