About Joe
He/Him Hello there! I'm Joe, and I'm a writer, filmmaker, and forever DM living in Argentina that can't get enough of running TTRPGs for veterans and newbies alike. Fantasy is near and dear to my heart, so I specialize in running official Dungeons & Dragons material with my own cinematic flair. My background in creative writing, film writing/directing, and acting has taught me that character is EVERYTHING to a story—that's why I do all that I can to shape my adventures, no matter their original design, around the characters my players create. Safety and well-being are my top priorities; there is no fun to be had if someone at the table doesn't feel safe to express themselves and BE themselves. Everyone is welcome in my games—LGTBQ+ players, players of color, players with neurodiversity, and even players who only roll natural 20s (though I will start to get suspicious after the 60th or 70th time). Hope to play with you soon!

When I'm not running games I'm...
Taking film photos on my dad's old Pentax K1000, reading something I can't put down (probably fantasy), or trying to make my wife laugh by saying something stupid.
How Joe runs games
Let me explain. No, there is too much, let me sum up: • Character-driven story design • Cinematic descriptions & music • Challenging & rewarding combat • Nuanced roleplaying & improvisation • Player agency—choice & consequence are yours! • High-stakes tension, unhinged comedy • D&D Beyond character creation (all sourcebooks shared) • Mix of Theater of the Mind & VTT battlemaps • Rule of Cool babyyyyyyyyyyyyy • Patience—I love teaching new players! My taste in fantasy is a wild blend of: • Critical Role • Dimension 20 • The Princess Bride • ATLA • The Kingkiller Chronicle • The Inheritance Cycle • The Lord of the Rings • The Witcher (games, books, & Henry Cavill) • Fire Emblem • Barbie Dreamhouse (owning a home in this economy? biggest fantasy of all)
