Meet Doc

I’m Jesse “Doc” Edmond — a professional Game Master, RPG consultant, and lifelong performer with over 40 years of tabletop experience. I’ve been running games since 1985 and have facilitated more than 100 different systems, from Dungeons & Dragons and Savage Worlds to indie story games, sci-fi epics, and superhero sagas.

Beyond the table, I’m a comedian, actor, and seasoned improvisor. I bring high-energy storytelling, bold character voices, and a strong sense of theatrical timing to every session, turning game nights into shared performances.

Since 1998, I’ve been hired to craft unforgettable RPG experiences, and for the last three years I’ve made it my full-time profession — bringing collaborative storytelling to kids, teens, adults, and professionals worldwide.

What I Offer

For Players

  • One-Shots & Mini-Arcs: Fast, thrilling stories for events or special occasions.
  • Ongoing Campaigns: Character-driven sagas with dramatic arcs and rich worlds.
  • Play-by-Post & Virtual Games: Flexible for busy schedules and remote groups.
  • Kid & Teen-Focused Sessions: With Young Dragon Slayers, I specialize in making games accessible, safe, and empowering for younger players.


For Professional Organizations & Companies

I design custom RPG experiences for professional teams, non-profits, and corporate groups. These games aren’t just fun (though they’re a blast) — they’re also a powerful tool for competency-based team development.

Whether you want to build collaboration, leadership, communication, or creative problem-solving, I can tailor story-driven scenarios that align with your organization’s goals.

Options include:

  • Team-Building Adventures: Hands-on sessions that strengthen trust and cooperation.
  • Competency-Focused Workshops: Custom-designed scenarios built around your desired skills or leadership competencies.
  • Seminars & Keynotes: Explore how tabletop roleplaying techniques can unlock communication and creativity in the workplace.

Systems I Run

With decades of experience, I can run virtually any game you want. Here’s just a taste:

Dungeons & Dragons 5e • Pathfinder 2e • Savage Worlds • Rifts • Fate Core • Cypher System • Blades in the Dark • Alien RPG • Warhammer 40,000 RPGs • GURPS • Trinity Continuum • Fallout RPG • Tales From the Loop • Dune: Adventures in the Imperium • Forged in the Dark • OSR Classics • GI Joe & Transformers RPG • Blade Runner • Barbarians of Lemuria • Indie & Story Games …and dozens more.

If it has dice, I can run it — often on short notice.

Why Work With Me?

Why Choose Doc?

Performer’s Touch: As a comedian, actor, and improvisor, I create distinct voices, vibrant characters, and memorable NPCs that pull players into the story.

High Energy, High Engagement: Every session feels alive — I bring the table together with humor, tension, and dramatic beats worthy of a stage.

Collaborative & Inclusive Play: My tables are non-adversarial. We build stories together, ensuring all players shine.

Flexible & Global: Available for in-person or online games, from private groups to conventions to corporate clients.
