Welcome to Dice Never Lie gaming. My name is Jerrod, I go by many names; Lore Keeper, Dungeon Master, Mara, or simply the last NPC you met today. Please feel free to contact me in regards to any questions you may have. Marathustra#5377 on Discord is the ideal communication medium. I have been running TTRPG's and Dungeons and Dragons for 20+ years. Instead of asking players to bring snacks, drinks, and party favors; I now ask that players pay a small fee to play. By asking for less than $5 per hour of play I am able to run games online which consume most of my waking hours, which means it is my job to entertain and create a fun setting for you to game. Since Covid I have around run around 200 sessions on Roll20's VTT. I have a degree in Philosophy, Religion, and Myth. I lean heavily into problematic choices and the illusion of good and evil. Player choice matters, everything is presented in ways that player choices unfold the story from the setting. Most module campaigns are unique within a few sessions of the campaign starting. We play in a grim dark setting, where I encourage players to have two characters created, not because I intend to kill you, but because the setting is meant to be dangerous. Choices and dice rolls... should have consequences; by challenging game play, victories are epic. My goal is to present an interesting setting where players can choose what they want to do moment to moment, playing the role of their character in a problematic world. *This game will require payment to the Lore Keeper at a rate of $20 per session paid via Cryptocurrency, Paypal, or Venmo; this payment should be completed prior to the game session. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements. If you find value in my games, please feel free to Tip a higher amount.

Knowing that players have a vested interest in their character and the campaign makes a world of difference. While we play a war game, there is a lot more to dnd that is not the hack and slash. This is an intriguing war game that requires everyone to put forth effort. With vested players, groups are far more likely to stick together, make memories together. A quality experience takes 2-4 hours of preparation per hour spent in session. Social Contract All of the campaigns and adventuring groups are designed around open-minded welcoming groups. I encourage Role Play which includes acting in character, making decisions from within the mind set of the character, narrating character actions, and speaking in character. Voices are not the have all end all of role play. I make a fool of myself on a regular basis... Just part of the FUN!!! I prefer to discuss what you are looking for, ways to present your ideal story, and ways to avoid soft and hard boundaries in a sort of Session 0 with every player. I try to be interactive in designing around player desires, phobias, fears, and in general avoiding things someone might not want to experience in game. This is specially meaningful in games that are often designed around creating tension through the environment.
