About me
I started as a home Dungeon Master, creating stories for friends and watching simple sessions turn into unforgettable memories. Now I want to bring that same experience to more people—especially those who’ve always wanted to try D&D but didn’t know where to start. Also, coming from a distinct place, namely the Philippines, I believe there are a lot of unique stories to be told.

Creating your character
You can create any character you would like following the DnD 5e ruleset. The setting would be more towards the dark and gritty sides of things so gearing towards that side of fantasy would be very ideal.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The game would be through Roll20 so an account there would be needed. For the majority of the settings we will be using the theater of the mind. For voice comms we can have a Discord group call so a discord account would be needed as well.
What Joshua Dimalanta brings to the table
I do my best to do voices, I utilize ambient music where possible. I am a descriptive story teller so be ready for settings and battles described in detail. I love the rule of cool. If it sounds cool, and possible in game, we can go ahead and roll for it.
Homebrew rules
My main homebrew method is that potions are bonus actions. Other than that we will use the rule of cool. If it sounds good abnd is perfectly reasonable in game we will roll for it!

How Joshua Dimalanta creates a safe table
Prior to starting the campaign we will have a session 0 to discuss what to expect for the upcoming campaign as well as to intro the adventure ahead. Moreover, and a more important point to discuss is that in the campaign we will go through some horror concepts and ideas that some people find disturbing so I will also discuss that. Will also remind the players that we are all friends at the table, we will not welcome conflicts and in fighting. All of those would be dealt with as swiftly and as harshly as DM's discretion can allow. I also welcome discussion so you can message me directly before, during and after the campaign to discuss ideas, events and topics in the campaign. I look forward to writing stories with you!
