Greetings, fellow Adventurers, and welcome to my Table!
My name is Jon, but everybody in my TTRPG community calls me Zym – which is not a requirement, of course.
About twenty years ago, on a sunny Saturday afternoon, I awaited my Brother’s imminent return home from a trip he took to California – some kind of “teenage wilderness survival” training. He had been gone for two weeks and I remember being extremely bored in his absence, even though I had been working on my second playthrough of Final Fantasy VII. The moment my Mom’s car pulled up in our driveway, our dog Milo barked loudly, his tail wagging, happily signaling my Brother’s arrival and approach. When his tall self finally stepped through the front door and dropped his duffel bag to the ground, dirty from his trip, I saw he was in possession of three books; from afar, the covers and spines looked colorful and unique – nothing like I’d read or seen before. With a smile, he hands them to me eagerly, beaming as I read the three titles: “Dungeon Master’s Guide“, “Player’s Handbook“, and “Monster Manual“…
That very day, my passion for Tabletop Roleplaying Games was born.
Now, all these years later, my passion has only grown. I founded an open TTRPG discord community that caters to all things within the tabletop realm, such as board games, trading card games, party games, and of course – the ever-present lure of the roleplaying realm. I’m what some might consider a “Forever DM” – I prefer to run games than play in them. Because of this, I’ve had the gifted opportunity of crafting living, breathing worlds – completely homebrewed – for my players to immerse themselves in.
Now, with these tools under my belt, I’d like to offer an elevated tabletop roleplaying experience that excites the heart, exercises the mind, and stimulates the creative side we all share. In my opinion, our imagination is an incredibly powerful facet of our existence; we do not create lightly, and when we do, it’s often great…why should that not be shared?
Welcome to YOUR story. I’m Zym – your Narrator, Gamemaster and guide through this mysterious realm.
==================================
EXPERIENCE
Most of my gameplay experience comes directly from DnD v3.0/3.5, but I recently began running 5th Edition campaigns when a large portion of my Discord server members transitioned to the new ruleset. Though Dungeons and Dragons remains at the heart of everything I do, I have also ran campaigns and one-shots using other popular rulesets, such as Call of Cthulhu, FATE, Blades in the Dark, and Vampire: The Masquerade. I love to try new rulesets, too, as there are many fun and interesting options out there!
I have run games for all kinds of personalities and people and I am a firm believer that TTRPGs belong to everybody – there are no exclusions at my table; everyone is welcome.

TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
In order to successfully run my games and provide the richest possible remote experience, we will be using a number of web-based tools available to the general public:
===================================
Throughout my years of running games, I don’t recall a time where I didn’t enjoy it; there is much to be gained from experiencing a shared story with others. It becomes a journey of discovery not only for your imagined character, but for yourself as well.
I hope to see you at my table soon, but in the meantime – may the dice be ever in your favor.

I played my first D&D campaign with Zym as the GM, and it won’t be my last. Zym created a world with a mix of engaging story, challenging combat, and memorable NPCs. He balanced structure and freedom well, making sure each decision we made mattered while keeping the sessions fun and exciting. Zym made the experience welcoming and enjoyable for a first-timer, and I look forward to the next adventure he runs.
Been playing in a 5e campaign with zym about 3-4 years now and it’s been a good time. His world building is solid and he’s able to set the scene with music and very detailed descriptions of your surroundings. Would highly recommend for players who love role play.
Zym loves to create worlds with rich lore and moving segments that seem to progress and exist, your inaction has consequences in his world as does your actions.
Is always there to talk to and build upon pcs. I was always able talk through ideas/character changes and even some game questions. He explains it well and if a concept can work in the game setting or not and does not just out right say no that wouldn't work or you just can not be that cause it's lame. If he does say no about it he atleast explains why and gives good and kind responses for it but even then still works in ways that atleast part of it could fit in the game.
I've been lucky enough to have Zym as a DM for multiple campaigns. He was my first DM and showed so much patience and understanding while teaching me how to play 5e. Now that I have more experience, I jump at the chance to join any campaign he is DMing (especially horror-based!) Zym's world-building is phenomenal and he knows exactly how to pull you into a story. His worlds are intricate without being too complicated and his characters all have depth. I would recommend him as a DM to anyone who will listen and will continue to try and follow anything new he does.
I've had the pleasure of participating in several of Zym's games over the years, from Call of Cthulhu to D&D, and I'm excited to soon experience his take on FATE. His storytelling skills consistently keep me on the edge of my seat, always eager for the next session. Zym has a deep understanding of various game rulesets, making each game run smoothly and ever engaging for players.
He also manages his Discord server with a perfect balance of fairness and fun, fostering a community where users are encouraged to interact and connect with one another, and of course, play games!
Give Zym a try. You will not be disappointed!
