About me
Game Art student with a passion for all things creative! Been DMing for a year and playing for triple that time! I'm pretty new to DMing for money so I try to keep my rates as low as I can and am very open to feedback so I can make the experience better for both of us!
GM Style
My favorite way to DM is with a heavy sense of driving roleplay to where you want it! I've been writing for a while and love a good backstory so try to keep everyone's backstories an important part of the plot, and not so much just a backdrop! Besides trying to focus on PC-to-PC interaction I also love roleplaying as NPCs myself! I'm not the best at voicing just yet but I'm getting better aha.

We played Masks, and it was so much fun. I loved seeing how things evolved with our characters and the shenanigans we got up to.

Joy have been a great DM through the different campaigns I’ve played with him so far. Each has used a different system and Joy has always been welcoming and patient to new players. The NPCs have been played well, feel unique and there is a nice blend between comedic and serious moments. It is always a gamble playing with strangers online, even more so when it comes to paid games but I’ve never had an issue in one of Joy’s games.
