About DMJeff

My name is Jeffery Longa and I am an experienced GM for over 12 years. I am a Graphic Designer In Arkansas and I've been running games for children for 3 year now. My first foray into GM'ing wasn't DnD, it was actually Fantasy Flight's Starwars Edge of the Empire game with my friends. It was very narrative focused and rewarded storytelling and creativity. I think I've carried that mentaility even into crunchier more combat focused games. I love building a story and a world with my players. But as much as a good story is I love a good fight. Good vs evil, heroes and villains, I want that story we build up to end with a heroic (hopefully triumphant) stand. As mentioned, since 2023 I have been running the youth table at my local game store. It wasn't something I chose, it just happened. They were looking for GM's, I was looking to GM and most of the younger players ended up with me. As players settled I became the official youth table. And frankly it has been an incredible experience. I've had a core group of kids that have been playing at my table over these 3 years along with the others that come and go. We always have a joyous time and I welcome anyone and everyone to my table.

My game style

Honestly I love it all. I love incredible role play, and thrive in intense combat. I want my players to feel fulfilled in their stories and accomplished on the battlefield. I also like it when my players are a little tricky. Why fight the big bad when you happen to find a scroll of summon meteors? The bad guy can't rule from their lair if their lair is a crater right? And a good rube goldberg machine can be just as effective as a meteor. That is to say, when I GM I am constantly analyzing my players, the things they want, and how I can subvert their expectations.
