About Josh | AstroPhish
Hi there, I’m Josh, your prototypical blue collar nerd! I started my journey into TTRPGs when I was looking for some new podcasts to listen to. I found some DND Actual Play pods, and was instantly hooked. Fast-forward to today, and I have been running games at home and online for a little over a year now. I own my own small business and spend my free time chasing my adventurous 5 year old little girl around, golfing, and gaming.
