About me

Enthusiastic GM who loves to breathe life into fantastical worlds... ratchet the tension in dramatic scenes... smear mud on a gritty setting. I'm a life-long learner, so if there's a game you'd like to play that's not part of my current repertoire I would be happy to learn it!

GM Style

My Style: - Rulings over rules. - Minds over maps. My Guiding Principles: - Facilitate the Players. - Celebrate the Characters. Technicals: - Please consider using a headset, or an external microphone with headphones. This can dramatically improve audio quality for your fellow players. - All games are voice-only, as video increases stress and anxiety without adding significant value imho.

Had a wholesome session of Wanderhome with Joey! The group already knew each other but Joey still made me feel welcomed and easily integrated my character with the group. He has a great voice for storytelling, and a great improviser with player shenanigans

Joey is a relaxed and pleasant GM. Players have freedom to improvise and plenty of opportunities for their PCs to take a turn in the spotlight. Joey also inspires interaction with the world by suggesting prompts, using maps and setting the mood with sound and description. He presents situations and NPC interactions neatly. I look forward to more games with this GM.

Really fun adventures and nods and makes it easy and welcoming for new players and beginners to jump in and feel comfortable. Shares pictures and music to set the mood, and creates a fun and relaxing game environment.
