About me
LGBTQ+ | Filipino-American | Game Designer | Writer | Dreamer Hey there! I’m Josh. I’ve always thought you can get a good impression of a person from their favorite games. So here are a few of mine: Hades Sekiro Wildermyth Outward Bug Fables I grew up near Seattle in the rainy, romantic gray skies of the Pacific Northwest. About 4 years ago I moved to Taiwan to teach English and improve my Mandarin. As a kid I was terminally at home, tearing through books, watching movies and playing games. Always with a sense of anticipation. "When would my adventure would begin?" As I’ve aged, I’ve grown to love how stories offer a reflection of the complex inner worlds we all have. In a way, my journey has already begun. Just like those characters, we are all the main characters of our own stories; but there is something special when we can see those inner lives reflected in one another. I design games and write stories to pursue the connection that transforms a bunch of solitary protagonists into a community. Also, it’s fun! I have been DMing for 9 years; a lot of that time spent with my recent home group that spans the whole world (from Ireland to Taiwan!) I mostly enjoy writing custom content and tailoring stories to the people I’m playing with. I love surprises, and I am really good at hyping up my players. Yes! Of course your feathers can turn into blades. Yes! Of course the banjo is a bard instrument. Let’s get a little silly and pursue our unique stories in a world that itself is stranger than fiction.

Creating your character
Session 0 will be a thorough guide to the Daggerheart character creation process. You and I will work together to create a custom character that is brought to life by the mechanics of the game and your own personal style. I recommend taking a look at Demiplane for available classes, ancestries, and domains. In Daggerheart you can be a crafty mushroom witch or a tortoise with wings and a god's righteous might. A little goblin girl with a giant hammer or a stoic elven nobleman with a mighty tiger companion.

Homebrew rules
Soulslike mechanics: Hidden throughout the land are sanctuaries, known only to some. When a player in your party dies; return their ashes to the alter within a day and they will return to life and gain a scar. As usual, when a character loses all 6 hope slots they must leave the party and can no longer be revived.

How Dreamerboy creates a safe table
Before session 0 I will provide a brief survey to determine everyone's familiarity with tabletop roleplaying games and their comfort levels with various content. During session 0 we will set the tone of the campaign and review my expectations for player conduct and GM content. ("Act in good faith with the rules, the players, and the GM.") X card system for any triggers that arise during a session.
