About me

Hello, I'm Josephine Kim (none/she)! I'm an intimate and personal horror content creator who streams, podcasts, and produces all manner of shows about monsters. With me, expect worlds of homebrew and in-lore alike to push themes of monstrosity, uncomfortable social relationships and interactions, your bodily autonomy, and intimacy non-exclusive to romance. Let's tell some sad but badass stories about fighting inner demons as actual demons. GUDIYA, a Bluebeard's Bride one-shot hosted by Nameless Domain that I facilitated, won Best of the Best in Audio Fiction over at NJ Web Fest! Check out the first part here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYP0fqZXAqE I co-host a podcast called Monster Fuckers Anonymous, which is about Rating and Dating monsters with my friend @cleric_34. Find it anywhere you listen to podcasts! https://open.spotify.com/show/4WKzayNpnsfZsjpYSywVQ6?si=5c480546f8e448c8

GM Style

I excel in making your narrative dreams come true. Expect character vignettes, flashbacks, and specifically tailored playlists to your game moments ideas. If I have the time, I also love to do character doodles. 🌟 Let's explore boundaries safely and soundly. I love the silly things and making jokes, but I /am/ primarily a dramatic storyteller. I keep track of time, notes, and sometimes encumbrance. 🙊 I don't always do character accents, but definitely expect character voices that range from "small grandma", "gay lawyer", and "girl boss".

I wish that I could explain all the ways that Joe is an amazing GM but I'll keep it short and succint. First off, Joe really values safety at the table. Joe cares that you are comfortable and wants you to enjoy yourself. She wants you to have a good time and that means taking care of you. Another thing that Joe does so well is her storytelling. Joe can really weave a tale unlike no other. One thing she does so well is really taking your ideas and implementing them as well. You will say or mention something earlier in the game and an hour later BAM it's come back in her vision and it hits you out of nowhere. Truly, the way Joe sees the world you've built together is so creative and whimsical and just wonderful for everyone involved. If you get a chance to play with Joe you have to take it immediately. It's one of my favorite gaming experiences ever and everyone should be able to witness the way this AWARD WINNING!!! GM tells a story.

Josephine created a compelling story and allowed us players to explore themes that pushed boundaries and give us very satisfying endings to our character's stories.
