About me

Hi I'm Josh, a worldbuilder, writer and forever DM by choice! I'm a huge fan of mixing roleplay heavy games with interesting and engaging combat and challenges for my players. I have been a Dungeon Master for over 4 years, throughout that time I have maintained multiple active campaigns, one of which lasting from level 3 to a conclusion at level 20. My favourite part about RPGs and mainly Dungeons and Dragons is writing and creating. I love building engaging worlds for and with my players and I create homebrew classes, races, subclasses, magic items, and everything in between for fun and to fit the worlds I create. I am in the process of establishing a small publishing independent "company" called RPJeez where I publish the homebrew I create and I run a small podcast of the same name to discuss all things TTRPGs. Basically I love this hobby and am looking for more opportunities to spread the worlds and stories I create with more players who can help me make them.

GM Style

I love to blend deep roleplay sessions with challenging and interesting combat. I try to encourage intraparty RP and bring out more shy players in a way that ensures they stay comfortable at the table but still get to be involved. I use voices for my NPCs (some better than others) and love a good dream sequence!
