Featured Prompts

I got started GMing...

I got started GMing with the BECMI Basic Set back in 1985, and have been running games ever since.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Dungeons and Dragons 5E, Fate and Daggerheart.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Enjoying fantasy and sci-fi in every type of media and spending time with my two kids and two dogs.

How Joshua runs games

I like to tell epic tales involving continent spanning problems with rich detailed settings. I like combat fast and furious, with lots of role-playing in between battles.

Featured Prompts

I prep by

focusing on the player characters and villains of the campaign.

Rules are...

less important than having fun and telling a good story together.

Joshua's ideal table

Featured Prompts

I am for a vibe that's...

relaxed and casual, it's a game after all.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

fast paced action, epic storytelling and big damn heroes

I love it when a player

comes up with a cool idea without considering the rules first, so we can find a way to make it work within the game.
