About me
Good day one and all! Friends call me Joe! I've been guiding adventurers along their destined paths since 2016. All are welcome to my table! I love ttrpgs, funny graphic t-shirts, video games, anime, as well as quoting random tv shows and movies. I also enjoy: - Ensuring all at my table have a safe space to be themselves and can immerse themselves in their characters. - Striving to ensure everyone at the table has their time to shine. - Running games for beginning and avid players. - Running pre-made modules and homebrewed campaigns - Making custom maps for my games. Whether you're running from a hoard of gnolls or laughing at one of my "punny" t-shirts, players are listened to, encouraged, respected, and given the freedom to be creative at my table. My games are sculpted around all groups that are ready to walk down the path on their maps marked "Adventures Abound".
GM Style
My games generally have a good balance between roleplay and combat with the scale tipping more towards roleplaying. One of my favorite aspects of running a game is character development so I try to keep the pace balanced as well. This includes giving each player their time to shine, make sure they understand the settings, and they can pose questions whenever they feel the need. Throwing interesting non-player characters (NPC's), hardships, obscure references, and fun villains are solid bonuses. I mostly stick to rules as written for structure in campaigns but understand that creativity should not always be contained and will adhere to "The Rule of Cool". For those who are not aware, this rule simply states if something is proposed that makes the game more interesting or exciting, let it happen. So, where should we dare to adventure next?

I enjoyed playing with Joe! We played with a group that had a mix of skilled and “green” players. Joe held us down!

All I can say is, what an experience! Joe kept the game moving, explained the rules to the newbie players when necessary, and made the game so fun and exciting. Daring Dice is a true D&D Game Master.

Joe was an incredible GM, he was more prepared that I thought possible and something ready for any possibility. He's one of the nicest and most welcoming people I know.

Joe creates an environment that is always fun! He is always willing to work with the players to create an experience where everyone is able to shine at the right time. In our campaign, I played a Wild Magic Sorcerer, he planned with me about the frequency of Wild Magic surges we could expect and it led to some of the most memorable and hilarious moments I've had to this day! I can't recommend him enough!

Joe was such an amazing DM! He was patient with me as a brand new player to the game and even helped before the session with my character development. Once playing, he was able to bring the game alive, which was super helpful to me as a new player. He had great maps, which were hand drawn and excellent storytelling! His descriptions made the adventure so vivid we all got lost in his world. Somehow he was able to obtain a pace where the beginners didn’t feel left behind, and the experts never got bored. Definitely recommend anyone beginner or expert who wants a fun game, in a safe space with a great DM!
