About Joe Friday

When I was twelve years old, my dad decided to introduce me to the world of ttrpgs by running a humble AD&D 2e campaign with my cousins and I. Since that time, I've advanced to running 5e campaigns and one-shots, and I've explored other game systems like Monster of the Week, Starfinder, and more!

I got started GMing...

after my dad taught me how to play 2nd Edition Dungeons and Dragons. Though I mainly run 5e now haha

How Joe Friday runs games

Action and combat is great, but role-playing a high-stakes scenario with your party members is *chef’s kiss*. While rules are necessary for a game like this, I’m NOT treating this like adventure’s league- player enjoyment and satisfaction is paramount in my eyes.

Featured Prompts

My favorite trope is...

the party accumulating pets and followers as the adventure goes on.
