AVALANCHE

About AVALANCHE

Hey, I'm Joey! I've been playing tabletop RPGs for over 27 years and have been running games for friends and family since 2003. Over the years, I've explored countless fantasy settings, systems, and styles of play, but what keeps bringing me back to the table is simple: there's nothing quite like building a story together that none of us could have created alone. My games are character-driven, cinematic, and highly collaborative. Whether you want to smash a monster with a hammer until treasure falls out of its ears, unravel an intricate mystery, explore a strange new place, or find a creative solution nobody expected, I want your choices to matter. I use the Rule of Cool when it makes the story better, and I build encounters that reward teamwork, creativity, and thinking beyond the obvious solution. I'm also a lifelong fan of fantasy literature, with authors like R.A. Salvatore, Ed Greenwood, and many others serving as inspiration for the worlds, encounters, characters, and stories I create. I love taking those influences and combining them with the unpredictable magic that happens when a group of players starts making their own decisions. Outside of the table, my background in IT, cybersecurity, and audio/visual production has given me a particular interest in the technical side of virtual tabletop gaming. I put that experience into creating polished, immersive environments using Alchemy VTT, cinematic overlays, custom maps and character art, soundscapes, ambient effects, and music to help bring each scene to life. Most importantly, I believe the GM's job isn't to tell you the story, it's to build a world worth getting lost in, then give you the freedom to decide what happens next. I've been running Daggerheart for my in-person group and have fallen in love with its emphasis on collaborative storytelling, Hope and Fear, and meaningful player agency. It has quickly become my preferred system to run, and I'm excited to share that style of play with other adventurers.
