Circus of Dice and Destiny

Hi, I’m Jo, CEO, Founder and Ringmaster of Dice Circus, an Streamed Actual Play built around one simple philosophy: This is my circus, and these are my monkeys. 🎪 I’m a Game Master, storyteller and professional chaos coordinator with a love for cinematic, character driven D&D. I created Dice Circus to build the kind of table I always wanted to play at, somewhere players can be ridiculous one minute, emotionally devastated the next, and completely invested in the story we’re creating together. My GM style is heavily focused on roleplay, immersive storytelling and player choice. I love building living worlds filled with complicated NPCs, mysteries, relationships, consequences and those tiny character moments that somehow become more important than the entire main quest. Combat at my table isn’t just “I attack. 17 to hit.” I want to know what that attack looks like. What your character is feeling. What the enemy does when they realise they’re losing. I love cinematic encounters, environmental mechanics, unconventional objectives and combat that actually moves the story forward. I’m the creator and GM behind Valyndor, the homebrew world at the heart of Dice Circus, a world of fractured kingdoms, forbidden magic, morally questionable organisations, terrifying creatures, lesbian pirates, deeply suspicious islands and an alarming number of NPCs my players have decided to adopt. As CEO of Dice Circus Ltd, I also produce and develop our Actual Play content, livestreams, characters, worlds and growing circus of creative projects. My tables are welcoming, LGBTQ+ friendly and built around collaboration rather than trying to “beat” the GM. You don’t need to be an incredible actor, know every rule or arrive with a five page backstory. Bring me a character you’re excited about and a willingness to play, and we’ll build the rest together. Expect big characters, bigger consequences, terrible decisions, found family, horror, comedy, romance, mysteries, dramatic reveals and an unreasonable amount of emotional attachment to fictional people. 🎪 Welcome to the Circus.
