I became a GM because
I had just started playing D&D and was having fun, but my DM had to move and no one else knew how to/would volunteer to DM and so I volunteered to DM to keep playing with my friends, and I've been GMing ever since!
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Creative, Inclusive, Patient.
How Joe (Phoenix) runs games
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. While I respect the core rules, I'm not rigid about them, I use the rules more like guidelines and I firmly believe in 'The Rule of Cool' and I 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!

My games focus on...
Fun, telling a good story, your characters, and those silly out of the box ideas that shouldn't work but do!
Rules are...
Great, but not something I focus on. If I need to bend a rule or two in order for your characters to pull off something amazing I will.
Joe (Phoenix)'s ideal table
My Table is one where we don't take things too seriously, we use the rules like guidelines, and are just a group of friends who are here to have fun, make jokes, make those jokes cannon in the story we are telling, and tell a fun and interesting story together. Anything can happen, and what you expect might happen, might not turn out how you plan or will have consequences both seen and unseen.
Featured Prompts
If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Rules light, fun focused, silly, goofy, fun times, that will make you laugh, while telling a fun and interesting story
I love it when a player
Says they want to try something that they think won't work or is silly/dumb and not only does it work, but it changes the whole scene and works extremely well!
My table is not the place for...
Rules lawyering, metagaming, "optimal" play, there is no correct way to play TTRPGs and that also means there is no optimal way to play either. Just have fun and don't metagame, metagaming ruins the fun and surprise of what will happen next
