About me
Welcome! Pull up a chair, a table or perhaps the entire tavern! I have been a GM for around 7 years, I started playing TTRPGs with GURPS of all things when I was 19. Before then I had mainly been roleplaying through forums and various chatrooms but always with a keen interest in D&D as an idea. My first foray into being a GM was through the Fantasy Flight's Star Wars system, it's narrative first approach took a lot of the pressure off me to remember every single rule going. Eventually transitioning over to 5th edition where I have since been having a blast running. I love to run the best game that I possibly can, you want something combat focused? Here is danger by the bucketload! Perhaps you would rather more roleplay focused play? We got you covered! How about a rampaging romp through a goblin town while being chased by a herd of Were-Alpacas? I don't know that sounds like more than we can handle, but I am game! 😊 Beginner Friendly 😊 Enthusiastic! Enthusiastic! Enthusiastic! 😊 Determined to create a safe space to play for all! 😊 Owch I hate taking pictures of myself... 😊 Story Focused Campaigns
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We will have a session 0 to discuss characters integration into the campaign, if you already have a character concept in mind feel free to discuss it with me prior to the session 0. We will be starting at 1st Level, once the 2024 rulebook comes out we can also discuss the option of reworking the character in line with the newer version of the ruleset otherwise we will just convert the existing character to work within the confines of any of the new rules. Session 0 will be the opportunity to finalize character creation, but I do allow some leeway to make changes post character creation if there is an aspect of the character that you are not enjoying as much as you thought you might have done.
Session 0 Free | Beginner Friendly | Levels 1 - 10. Expanded Content on the original Curriculum of Chaos.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a working microphone and a discord account to join the voice call we will be using during sessions. You will also need to make a free account on forge-vtt.com to be able to connect to the virtual tabletop software I use. Make sure to check the prep materials once you have signed up on Startplaying, it will provide the discord link where you will get access to the Forge hosted FoundryVTT server also.

How Joe creates a safe table
We will discuss expectations during session 0 and discuss some table rules. After each session I will always open up the floor to the players to voice their thoughts and opinions out in the open, see if they have any questions about the session itself. I will make each player aware also they are more than welcome to approach me between sessions privately if there is something they wish to discuss.
