About me

I have loved dnd since the day my brother came home and slammed our first introductory book in front of my face. I've been DM'ing two homebrew games for about two years now.

GM Style

I love to roleplay and introduce opportunities for players to roleplay with each other and the characters/world around them. I prefer to work in tandem with players during character creation, fleshing out your backstories to fit within the world, and implementing your goals and backstories into the game as we go. Keeping the game within the rules is great fun, but I encourage and try to reward players who think outside of the box!

Josh is great at creating interesting characters to interact with and complex worlds to explore. He likes to work with players to incorporate their character's backstory into the campaign, which makes it feel like a more personalized experienced. Overall, sessions with him as the GM are always fun, as he's laid-back and a great storyteller.

I've played in several of Josh's games, and I've always been enraptured by the way he tells stories. His NPC's feel alive in a way that makes the world feel real.

I have had an incredible D&D experience with this Dungeon Master! Their storytelling skills created an immersive world, the pacing was perfect, and they skillfully adapted to our choices. Encounters were challenging yet fair, and their creativity brought the campaign to life. Highly recommend for a memorable adventure! He gives a chance for clueless newbies like me to feel included in the campaign. Our group couldn’t be more thankful

Josh has been our GM for a little over a year now. He is very flexible and willing to work with your ideas. He understands the rules and the game flows smoothly.

Josh is a fantastic story builder that allows you to make your choices and still unravel his story. Provides an environment that is very comfortable and fun to play in. He has become a friend over our sessions.

Terrifyingly good storytelling and mood setting. Great at on-the-fly adjustments if party strays from obvious paths. Not afraid to be creative or accommodate for creativity of players. Very funny,down to earth and chill.
