About me
Hello! I'm Josh! I'm relatively new to the TTRPG space, but I've found a passion for running games. I've learned that TTRPGs are a place where you can interact with like-minded and collaborative people in the fantasy world of our creation. The friends and experiences forged along the journey are truly special. Hopefully, I'll run a game and get to know you! Even though I've only been playing and running Dungeons & Dragons for over years, I'm currently running several games for different groups of friends. The longest game I have running is a weekly online home game of D&D's Storm King's Thunder module - we're at session 87 (as of 12/03/2024)! I have a few newer games running whenever friends are available, but I've run over 160+ sessions in the last two years and learned a lot. I've delved into Daggerheart and now learning about the Starfinder 2e/Pathfinder 2e world! On top of that, I've also played in a few campaigns, namely Call of the Netherdeep (twice), and I've finished a Critical Role Sandbox campaign. There, I learned what players value the most, and I strive to add it to my home games whenever possible. I'm a big fan of Critical Role and D20, but I don't usually have time to watch everything.
GM Style
My favourite part about GMing is incorporating varied, lifelike NPCs into my world and giving them voices. Making others laugh at the character or even love/hate them so much tells me that I've done something good. I genuinely believe that TTRPGs are a method of collaborative storytelling. I like to spotlight roleplaying between PCs because most of the magic in a game comes from you and your party! In addition, I thoroughly enjoy incorporating players' backstories into the game and world. I can sometimes spend too much time ensuring that everyone has something to show off and interact with. I like to make the players shine and feel proud of their ideas! Finally, while these are traits of my style, I am very open-minded. I don't mind discussing how things are going in the game or even changing/implementing new things!

Eratheon is a DM who cares about his players. The level of preparation that he does makes every session feel intentional and thoughtful, and helps the setting appear interesting and engaging. He includes a wide cast of fun, memorable NPCs, and will work with you to bring your backstory elements into the game. He is level headed, makes sure the atmosphere during the session is good, is willing to take feedback and is a genuinely a good storyteller. I definitely recommend playing with him :))
Billy
Extremely dedicated and thoughtful GM. Goes out of his way to make sure every player is comfortable and has a good time. Asks for feedback and will listen to constructive feedback. All players are welcome and takes time to understand what you want for your character. *WARNING* Don't bring wizards. Has killed so many wizards.
Devin Brasier
Eratheon puts a shit ton of effort into the story and making sure each player is integral to the story. Has built a world that is believable with atmosphere, relatable NPC's and characters that all of us remember
Slicky
One of the best world building experiences from maps and visual assets to the wide variety of voices characters are given. There is always so much to look forward too each session and you never know when your back story will come to haunt you. Eratheon pays attention to little details to make you feel included in the story and completely immersed. Fantastic GM that truly loves the game and strives to have you enjoy it just as much.
Blaze
A fantastic game master, always making sure everyone is involved and has something to do. Great at telling the story and setting the mood with music, maps and other visual aids. He also makes sure to give NPCs interesting voices and behaviors to make them memorable.
