About me

(All games will be played on Roll20 and Characters made on D&D Beyond.) add my Discord! : takenomicon Hello there! (General Kenobi!) My name is Joseph I have been playing TTRPGs since my adolescent years. I picked up my first set of dice back in middle school, around the age of 13-14 can't remember exactly. From then I knew this was a part of my life. I have been running games since then on and off for friends, then high school came around and I started a club, running D&D out of my freshman English teacher's classroom after school. I hope to bring you through fantastical journeys and harrowing fights that can tell a compelling story!

GM Style

As a DM, my duty is to bring you into fantastical worlds and tell a compelling story. The rules are there for us to run and play a game together but if they damping or hinder the storytelling, well "the code be more like guidelines than actual rules". Many of my games deal with a threat that the players must overcome, whether by eliminating the threat or convincing them to stand down. I use Roll20 for my Virtual Tabletop and D&D Beyond for my character sheets. Along with this I have hand picked soundtracks and maps to immerse ourselves in the adventures. My style tends to be more roleplay heavy rather than rules heavy, sometimes if the roleplay is great I may not have you role at all! To me the stories we make at the table matter more than the rules, I want to cherish them and be able to reference them and go back and look at our stories any time.

Joseph has maybe the most fun and diverse group of voices I have seen in a DM, and I can always count on him to be able to joke around with me and our diverse group who cause chaos all over the Sword Coast. I knew him as a player at first, but soon afterwords I got to know him as a DM and what amazing storytelling he brings to the table. Highly recommend if you want a fun story with even more thrilling characters.

Great pace of play. Kept combat moving while allowing time for individual creativity and learning. If you want a high tempo one-shot, No need to look any further!

We had alot of fun with him in our last session. He had music playing, did voices for the villains, and made the session a challenge while still being fun. I felt like he was having fun with us, not just going through the motions.
