Storyteller & Table Maestro · Chicago
A story in three chapters.
I am Jorah, Keeper of this Archive. Since 2012 I have been weaving stories with my friends, family, and perfect strangers in a pursuit to build community & promote interpersonal connection, laughter, and play between people. I have hosted tables across Chicago, at GenCon, C2E2, and beyond. Please, rest a while, choose a volume among my shelves of tales, perhaps commission a new tale, or even pose a riddle to the Sphinx.
Three Ways to Play
Treat with the Sphinx
I
The Catalogue
Adventures I've written or prepped and can bring to your table. Together we will weave tales. Horror on the Atlantic, a nightclub in Cy_Cag0, an iron age that never was, an adventure upon treetops. Browse the menu to see where we can go together.
II
Request a Reading
Tell me about your group, the system you enjoy, and the night you'd like to have. I'll build or prepare a one-shot or short campaign just for you.
Two at noon
III
Study of the Keeper
For schools, libraries, clubs and game programs. Or even just for some personal development: program design, GM training, facilitator materials and starter library recommendations from an industry expert.
