About me

Greetings! I'm Josh, I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons since 2018 and been a Dungeon Master for 5e since 2019 on and off. I'm based in Indonesia, but I don't mind shifting my sleeping schedule to host games for different time zones. I love getting new people into D&D, teaching noobs is one of my specialties. I usually personally help my players create their character sheet. I've had experience successfully DM-ing for people from remote villages (who had 0 knowledge about roleplaying and fantasy), and for students for the purpose of English teaching. I also have experience designing a homebrew TTRPG system based on D&D 5e for a local LARP organization. As a mentally ill neurodivergent, it's difficult for me to maintain normal jobs. So, I've decided to try being a professional Dungeon Master. I was diagnosed with Bipolar, BPD, and ADHD among other things, and I have a non-binary transgender autistic boyfriend, so let's just say that I am LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent friendly. Don't let that discourage you though! I'd say that my mental illnesses only benefitted my DM-ing because it helps me empathize and accommodate to various different types of players better.

GM Style

I DM for D&D 5e and D&D 2024. I love a good mix of the pillars of D&D: Exploration, Social, and Combat. I love putting my players through emotional moments and ethical dilemmas during RP. I do voices for my characters too. I design my own enemies and bosses sometimes, and I like to create unique enemies with unique combat mechanics. I encourage creative problem solving during my encounters. However, one thing I prioritize above all: I want my players to have fun. Most of my sessions usually last around 3-5 hours, and I want to make the most out of your time. If we couldn't wrap it up, I'll either follow up with a free short session or a free play by post session to reach a satisfying conclusion.
