About Joshua Posey
20 years of gaming has led me to who I am today exploring alternate systems and telling stories for and of players to others to make unique and fun experiences. I hope to introduce you to these systems like Legend of the Five Rings and Exalted which I cut my teeth on long ago.

How Joshua Posey runs games
I've always been focused on cinematic storytelling. Rule of cool and player agency has been a core principle of my storytelling style for as long as I've run games. I like challenging encounters that make players think beyond hulk smash, and I like the finality of moments, but I also communicate with my players constantly to make sure that we are focused on the players desires for their characters path.
