About Brick
My name is Josiah, but I usually go by Brick online. I'm 28 years old, and I've been playing and running D&D 5e games for almost 8 years now. Online shows and podcasts brought me into the realm, and these productions have encouraged me to explore the medium of running tabletop RPGs online.

Featured Prompts
I became a GM because
I grew up writing stories, and wanted to further explore playing out stories with others.
I got started GMing...
just before the pandemic pushed everyone indoors. I found a group and have been running campaigns for them ever since.
When I'm not running games I'm...
listening to podcasts, and playing crpgs.
How Brick runs games
I run intricate, personable NPCs in roleplay scenarios, with distinct voices and details for each character. However, this is not to detract from equally specific combats, rough maps giving a substantial environment for engaging fights. Through all this, I am beginner- and expert-friendly, with standard and homebrew opportunities for both, be it class, race, background, or other options.
Featured Prompts
I prep by
reading third-party sourcebooks, watching tips and tricks by a Matt on YouTube, and touching up maps and note webs.
Rules are...
important, but able to be bent with good dice rolls.
When it comes to voices
I keep accents simple, but separate. Also dwarves are Southern, and dark elves are Australian.
Brick's ideal table
My table is a good mess

I think min/maxing...
is fun, interesting, and has a place at my table. Just be prepared to rein it in for verisimilitude with other players!
