JESSE
Jesse is a lifelong tabletop roleplaying enthusiast with a deep love for systems that do strange, interesting things. He’s the kind of GM who reads the rules and the designer’s intent, then immediately starts asking, “What happens if we push this?” With experience across classic, indie, and experimental RPGs, Jesse brings a thoughtful, analytical lens to every conversation—always looking for how mechanics, story, and table culture intersect.
MATTY
Matty is a worldbuilder at heart with a love for strange settings, big ideas, and the long game of campaign play. He’s the kind of GM who thinks in cultures, factions, and consequences—always asking how the world reacts when players push on it. With a background in running sprawling, character-driven campaigns across multiple games and systems, Matty brings a grounded, thoughtful perspective to every discussion.
CHRIS
Chris is a storyteller-first GM with a love for character, pacing, and big emotional beats at the table. He’s the kind of game master who thinks in scenes, cliffhangers, and camera cuts—always looking for ways to make every session feel like an episode you can’t stop watching. With years of experience running everything from D&D to experimental indie games, Chris brings a cinematic sensibility and a strong narrative instinct to every conversation.
