I love sitting at Josh's table. The in game experience is fabulous and he really has a solid grasp of the lore of the world. He goes out of his way to make sure that there are opportunities for players to explore the environment in the play style that they enjoy. He's been very inclusive to party members of different skill and desires in the game. Every session is a blast.

Incredible DM with wonderful stories. Hosts very welcoming games for all types of players

He does an amazing job of helping you build an amazing and detailed back story. He is great for beginners! And provides a safe and inclusive space for everyone!

I had never really played DnD before having Josh as my DM but now I am hooked. At first I was a bit awkward and found it difficult to really become my character but Josh really met me where I was at and didn't expect to much from me. Instead, through the characters in his world, he set an example of what good roleplaying looks like. He and more experienced party members also created an accepting environment where I felt more comfortable to get into it. This is an environment that Josh has purposely cultivated through his years of being an experienced DM. I'm very lucky to have him as my DM. The agency that Josh gives his players is the defining trait of his campaigns. He is constantly yes-and-ing his players during role play and letting his players tweak their characters to perfectly match their combat style. His characters fit into the game world well and he handles improv extremely well. He is also extremely organized and well prepared and we almost never come across holes in his prep.

I recently had the pleasure of joining a delightfully chaotic Killer Kobolds mini-campaign, led by the fantastic DM, Josh. From the very start, Josh proved to be a encouraging, thoughtful, and hilarious storyteller who put a clear focus on engaging with his player's creativity. A standout quality of Josh's DMing was his collaborative story telling, making sure no player got left behind. Josh skillfully wove our (at times, questionable) ideas into each quest's narrative, creating a collaborative and immersive experience for us all. Josh didn't just guide the story; he let us, as players, shape and mold it with our choices and ideas. Even when those choices were vaulting into a room full of enemies _and kittens_ with 1 HP remaining, (naturally) being reduced to 0 HP, exploding, and then eviscerating the one item we'd been searching over an hour for... well, Josh didn't just make the most of it, he made it incredibly fun. I also want to shout out Josh's use of Foundry and Discord for the sessions. The combination made online-play engaging and seamless. The maps, character art, and soundtracks were nothing short of impressive and helped bolster each quest to even greater heights. As a Foundry newbie myself, Josh made sure to schedule an intro session before the campaign started and got me up to speed on all things Foundry before play began. Even after that, Josh welcomed questions and quickly resolved any issues that popped up for me during play. Overall, playing as a chaos-fueled, queen-devoted, lizard in space in Josh's Killer Kobold campaign was everything that I could have hoped for and more. His passion for storytelling, commitment to players' agency, and knowledge of the game (and tools) combined to create an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a DM who goes above and beyond to make your adventures truly epic, look no further than Josh. 10/10, would embark on another adventure with Josh at the helm!

I've been playing with Josh for over two years, and it's been an absolute pleasure. Reaching the end of our campaign brought a mix of emotions, especially sadness, knowing it was over for now. Throughout our journey, we experienced laughter, tears, and challenges, but earning the title of "Hero" felt truly deserved. Josh has an exceptional ability to make players feel as though they've embarked on an epic adventure with their friends. His skill shines through in every aspect of the game. Whether it was facing a vile villain whom I came to despise, discovering new lands that I could vividly imagine, feeling the tension of potential disaster, or celebrating our world-saving victories, the emotional depth of our adventure was profound. These intense feelings are a testament to a Dungeon Master who deeply understands his worlds and possesses the nuanced skills necessary to bring those worlds to life. For anyone seeking an epic Dungeons and Dragons story that feels uniquely theirs, Josh is the ideal DM.
