About Joe Dub
Experienced DM and player. I run a discord server and a youtube channel. I enjoy running fast paced cinematic D&D games with action, shenanigans, humor, and grit. My style ranges from grim dark to high camp. I also grow catnip for the felines I meet in life.

How Joe Dub runs games
I believe in player agency with less dice rolling for the small stuff which allows more time to focus on the narrative story telling and antics of the player characters. I am an experienced DM and have been playing tabletop RPGs and miniatures games since '82. I ventured into VTT during the recent plaguedemic of 2020. In my campaigns and one shots I utilize Theatre of the Mind, Discord, and Roll 20. I'm cool with your character on pencil & paper, DnD Beyond, or Roll 20; and for all the dice goblins out there feel free to roll using your clickety clacks, and just tell me the final number. I adhere to a player honor system during games. https://youtu.be/fs4uiCI_IiM?si=D3b01zokm77wwmd5

I love it when a player
1. Takes notes 2. Thinks outside the box 3. Turns their phone off during the game
I think it's a red flag when players...
