Escape From Eros | Horror Game

Josh is the GM we don't deserve, but all need. He has serious mastery over the Expanse TTRPG (AGE) mechanics but never let the rules get in the way of fun. In fact he knows how to work with the system to make the crunchiest parts (eg. Stunts, Churn, Space combat) exciting rather than daunting or annoying as they can be for players new to the system. He's also super responsive to his players and their intent. If you have a creative solution, he'll find a way to fit it into the rules. If you're doing a bit, his NPCs will riff with you. He can "No, but:" and "Yes, and:" as only the most practiced GMs know how. Plus, he makes sure there's room at the table for every player to contribute evenly. His Expanse module, "Escape from Eros" is also a perfect intro to the Expanse TTRPG as players can learn mechanics as the story unfolds.

Had a great time with a fun story. I was worried a bunch of strangers wouldn’t gel as well as we did. Josh did a great job of engaging everyone and making a really fun communal game!

Great fun!

Escape from Eros was super fun and Josh just rolled with our crazy plans! He did a great job of introducing us to the system!

Josh is great at teaching players new systems. He is patient and good at finding ways to explain both how different mechanics work and the in-game reasoning behind them. He clearly finds joy in telling a story with players and places player fun as highest priority.

Josh is great for folks looking to play new game systems. He is good at teaching as you go and very imaginative in a way that empowers the players to be imaginative also.
