About GM Joe

Hello there adventurers! GM Joe here. Been running the game for almost 20 years. So if you are looking for an experienced dungeon master that knows the rules like the back of his hand has enough adventures prepped to keep you questing for a lifetime then please inquire within. I run multiple tables of persistent worlds. The world is the main character but it is your sandbox and your character choices matter! They will affect not only this game, but the next campaign, and even games that you aren't in. Will your character live long enough to become a folk legend that other tables hear about?!

Featured Prompts

I started running games because...

when you love D&D the only way you get to play as much as you want is if you DM

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Sick. Twisted. Fair.

When I'm not running games I'm...

training jiujitsu, playing video games, watching movies, prep'ing for the next game.

How GM Joe runs games

I run a very tactical game because I believe the best roleplay comes when there are things at stake and the stakes are always highest when life and death and all that sort of thing are on the line. Good combat brings out great roleplay. Think of Spiderman versus the Green Goblin, will he save Mary Jane or the bus full of children? Or can he find a way to save both? The tension is high and success is not guaranteed. If you are up for a challenge then you will fit right in. I homebrew just about everything and will shape the campaign around player choices. I promise a customized unique experience that you won't get anywhere else.

Featured Prompts

I prep by

skimming through the monster manual looking for interesting beasties, watching youtube videos, and pondering how to best twist the knife after the party rightfully screwed themselves.

My games focus on...

fast tactical combat, extensive roleplay, and opportunities to make meaningful choices that shape the course of the campaign and the story in unique unpredictable ways.

When it comes to voices

I do a wide variety and appreciate it when players do too but it is certainly not expected.

GM Joe's ideal table

I'm looking for high energy engaged players that want to immerse themselves in the world. Take the game seriously with the understanding that its still for fun and shenanigans are expected. And you have to be cool with failing sometimes, because while your character might be optimized and your build is super awesome, the dice have a say and failing is a core part of the game.
