About me
Hello, my name is Josh. I have been DMing for 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons since 2016. I have a deep passion for roleplaying games and love helping people bring their characters to life through shared storytelling. I primarily run my games using roll20 as a Virtual Tabletop or VTT and use Discord for communication.
GM Style
I enjoy sessions well balanced with roleplay and combat. I am no professional voice actor but I enjoy trying to do voices for NPCs and encourage players to do that same! You cant do any worse than me. For me I like to let players take the lead in the session. I am always there to help offer direction if needed.

Storytelling
It's playing in Josh's games that has brought back the spark for DnD to my life. He's amazing with voices and storytelling, setting the stage for many different sorts of adventures. He's understanding and can roll with the punches of any hiccups of life that come as a part of gaming. Josh knows the rules but knows when to bend them to make the game even more entertaining. All together, he's a great GM that can spin many a tale and leave you wanting more!
Josh is an incredibly creative weaver of stories, grand and small. From the epic moments where you stand a hero, to moments of dread where you question your decisions that have led you to this point. Josh paints creeping themes of horror that tend to ribbon through his games, and revels in the reactions of his players shocked by his mad machinations. I’ve been a player in many of Josh’s games, he’s given me space to develop and actualize my characters, giving me a curated experience with challenges tailored to my hero, with opportunities to succeed and fail brilliantly. Jump on into a game with Josh, enjoy a collaborative experience of adventure and intrigue.
