About me
Hi there! I'm Joe aka Phoenix! I'm a seasoned DM with many years of experience running all kinds of different TTRPGs! I'm very supportive of my fellow LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy crafting unique character driven stories where your silly ideas shape the world around you.
GM Style
I believe D&D 5E modules are fantastic foundations, but they're just the beginning of our adventure! I craft unique experiences by weaving your character's backstory, goals, and personality into the narrative, ensuring sessions are tailored to you and your party. Even if you've played a particular D&D module before, you'll find my approach refreshingly different. I blend homebrew elements with official content to create unexpected twists and memorable moments. While I respect the core rules, I'm not rigid about them – I firmly believe in 'The Rule of Cool' and use house rules that make your rolls more meaningful and dramatic moments more impactful. My goal is to create a dynamic, player-driven story where your choices truly matter. If you're looking for a fresh take on D&D, MotW, or Masks, where creativity and fun take center stage, I'd love to have you at my table!

Puts fun twists in games, encourages players to try creative approaches to problems, uses great music and sound effects that fit the vibe of the moment, creates dynamic NPCs for interaction, always prepared and knowledgeable about the game world as well as the rules, just makes DnD a total blast to play!
