About JoeB

I’m an experienced tabletop RPG player with 7 years of experience, including 3 years as a Dungeon Master. I’ve played D&D 5e, The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying, Daggerheart, and Pathfinder. As a DM, I’m all about roleplay, immersive storytelling, and creating worlds that feel alive. I love building rich settings and giving players the freedom to explore them their own way. My games tend to embrace open-world and sandbox play, where your choices can genuinely shape the story and the world around you. For me, the best part of being a DM is watching players create their own stories, make unexpected choices, and become invested in the world we’re building together.

How JoeB runs games

Expect a game where roleplay, exploration, and player choice are at the heart of the experience. I love creating worlds that feel alive and giving players the freedom to decide where they go, who they trust, and how they approach the challenges in front of them. My games lean heavily into open world and sandbox style play, so while there may be a larger story developing in the background, you won't always be pushed down a predetermined path. Roleplay is a big part of my games. I enjoy seeing players get into character, build relationships with NPCs, make difficult choices, and create their own stories along the way. I try to give NPCs their own personalities, motivations, and agendas so that interactions feel more like genuine conversations than simply receiving quest information. I also love world building and exploration. I put a lot of effort into creating settings with history, factions, locations, mysteries, and stories that players can discover at their own pace. There will usually be plenty happening in the world around you, and your actions can have consequences, sometimes expected, sometimes not! When it comes to combat, I aim for encounters that feel meaningful rather than simply filling time between roleplay scenes. Tactical decisions, creative solutions, and working together as a party can make a big difference, but I also want players to feel that they have the freedom to approach encounters in their own way. Ultimately, I want my table to feel like your ad

Rules are...

Adaptable. I don’t get too caught up with rules. I’m way more rule of cool then rules as written.

When it comes to voices

I’m all in. They may not always be perfect but I like to make the players know the difference when they are talking to different characters.

JoeB's ideal table

My ideal table would consist of players who love an adventure. Inquisitive players who delve into the lore of the story. Players who can get deep in to role play and drop an awful Jake straight after.

I love it when a player

Thinks about how their character would act and carries out those actions based on that. I love it when a player gets into the emotion of that characters and used that during a session.
