About me

Hi everyone! I'm Joe - the artist behind Heroic Maps - creators of hundreds and hundreds of battlemaps! I've been playing D&D for around 11 years, and have always been the GM! From long lasting campaigns with family around the table to numerous VTT games with family and friends, I've got plenty of experience! My games always recognise that this is a collaborative story telling experience - we're all having this adventure together, so I'm never against my players (though I do want to challenge them!). I enjoy creating memorable and exciting games which use beautiful and detailed battlemaps. I also spent 14 years as a Science teacher before doing battlemaps fulltime, so I've got lots of experience talking to people, bringing people together and looking out for everyone. I hope you enjoy the adventures we may share together!

GM Style

I'm a big believer in making RPG games fun, exciting and memorable. I want the story to flow well, and so I'm happy to use the rules lightly if needed to keep things moving nicely, or if something best suits the developing story. Afterall, it's our game, right? The most important thing is that everyone enjoys the game. I create rich, believable locations and characters, with full descriptions and deep storylines. I love to reward creativity, especially when it comes to problem solving. I enjoy exciting combat encounters, plenty of opportunity for roleplay and of course, puzzles that get you thinking! I always use battlemaps, and as a battlemap artist of 11 years I've got a huge selection (plus I can make whatever I need if I don't have the right thing yet). Combining that with Foundry means you're guaranteed a visually exciting experience!
