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.

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.

This GM has been amazing so far, in the preparation for the campaign, for the visual aspects of the VTT and the player immersion. I am really looking forward to future sessions! :D

I played with Joy for an entire campaign and was raring to play the next one! Joy is great at making sure everyone has a chance to shine and allows for a lot of freedom with one's character while still staying within the story!

Joy is a wonderful individual who really brings some passion to the campaign. With a nicely setup VTT and add-ons to really make the experience fun and immersive, it's been one of the best online experiences I've had. Joy also been amazing in terms of the role play and story, allowing our group time to RP while also building a world for us to explore. We're also allowed quite a bit a freedom in how we approach challenges, even if they're terrible, which is always a welcome addition to player agency. All in all, Joy is a fantastic DM and person and I do not think you can go wrong by choosing to join up with them.
