About me
Hello! My name is Justin, and I’ve been running tabletop RPGs as a Game Master for nearly 15 years. I began hosting casual games with friends right after high school as a way for us to stay connected while starting our adult lives in college and work. RPGs quickly became a meaningful way for me to help people socialize, bond, and create unforgettable moments—and that passion has only grown. In recent years, I’ve stepped outside my comfort zone to Dungeon Master at events like Playthrough Gaming Convention in Raleigh, and I’m excited to continue expanding into new conventions and opportunities. When I’m not behind the GM screen, I’m diving into other fantasy and sci-fi worlds. I’m a huge fan of Brandon Sanderson, Star Trek, World of Warcraft, and Final Fantasy, so my imagination draws from a wide range of settings and inspirations that often spill into my sessions. I love crafting fun, lighthearted adventures that make players laugh, relax, and feel at home. My philosophy is simple: we’re here to share a great story, and my job is to make sure you leave with a smile and memorable moments you’ll want to tell your friends and coworkers about. Gaming should always be a fun, safe space, and I’m committed to creating the best possible experience for everyone who joins my table.

What Justin brings to the table
In my campaigns, I love to give characters voices when possible. This means that there will be times for silly adlibbed moments where players can improv with the NPCs and create fun and interesting moments. As this is a Beginner Friendly campaign, the goal is to teach, learn and grow as a group. It will be a safe space to ask questions, make mistakes while having fun! The Cosmere and especially the Sotrmlight Archives are one of my current favorite book series so I have a lot of knowlege around the setting, magic systems and lore. This is also a great space for those interested in the setting, as I will be happy to answer questions in a safe space for those who may not be as familiar with the series I like to run games with "Rule of Cool" in mind. This means if there is a moment that would be more fun at the cost of ignoring or changing a rule, I will lean on that. This also means that if there are times when rules are confusing or don't make sense, we will adjust it to keep the game moving forward.

How Justin creates a safe table
Sessions will allow players to use the X, N & O system at any time during the game session without question from the Dungeon Master. Players can also call out if a moment in the Campaign is uncomfortable, privately with the DM in messages, without judgment, and it will be added into session prep to edit or avoid any strong themes throughout the game.
