About Josh McKinley
My name is Josh McKinley I am a long time GM with a primary focus in dungeons and dragons. I love teaching new players the magic of DnD! I'm a lore fanatic who loves deep mysteries and settings with lots of history to explore. I'm a big proponent of the "Rule of Cool" and always try and make sure my players all have fun, meaningful interaction with the story and world they are in.

I started running games because...
I started running games out of necessity, a group of friends and I wanted to play DND but didn't have a GM so, like many who came before me, I took up the task and I've been running games ever since!
My favorite books are
Red Rising, The witcher, Lord of The Rings, The Stormlight Archives, The Blacktongue Thief
When I'm not running games I'm...
Mostly collecting hobbies, I like to sew, paint minis, write, garden, I dabble in woodworking and most recently built a basically functioning Hurdy Gurdy!
How Josh McKinley runs games
My GM style is strongly influenced by the "Rule of Cool" which states: "If it's cool, I'll probably let you roll for it." What I love more than anything is telling a good story, watching oftentimes wacky characters develop into heroes over the span of a campaign is one of the best things in the world.
