About me
Hey, queens! Please, call me Jo Lee. I discovered the joy of DM'ing almost two years ago. Turns out: I'm pretty darn good at it! Even my DMs love to play at my table. š„¹ As an award-nominated singer and songwriter, my passion for performing translates to creating an immersive experience for you. Whether it's slaying epic monsters or hurtling through space, my table prioritizes player-driven narratives, with a balanced approach to role play and combat. My favorite game sessions are ones we make each other laugh just as much as pull on the heartstrings. I keep my table friendly and welcoming. If youāre new, Iāll walk you through the rules. If you need a break or accommodation, I welcome you to let me know. Iām always open to feedback from experienced players and fellow DMs. My space is pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-BIMPOC, and pro-women.
GM Style
Number one: The experience should be fun! I put an emphasis on collaboration and storytelling. I love when players drive the narrative with their characters. You can expect a balance of role play and combat. I use character voices, battle maps, and instrumentals to put you in the world we're creating together. If I'm running a published module or adventure, I change up the story to make it matter to the PCs. My storytelling leans into high fantasy with a bit of camp, a dash of soap opera drama, and strong Miyazaki energyāthink emotional stakes, big feelings, and the occasional talking animal. I steer clear of gruesome violence and donāt lean into intense horror. My priority is giving player characters room to breathe, grow, and be their full selves. Themes like romance, sexuality, identity, substance use, or emotional intensity may come up depending on the group vibe. We follow the story you want to tell, together.

Sets the Mood
First time doing a DnD campaign and Jo has been amazing. They were very welcoming while being helpful and patient with our beginner struggles. The campaign itself has been detailed and tons of fun while offering great variety in regions and encounters. Jo goes above and beyond in making each session unique and immersive.
Jo Lee is awesome! Their descriptive narrations are always super colorful and engaging, and they do a great job moving the story forward without making the players feel railroaded. They're also super patient with new players, and with resolving complex moments in gameplay. 10/10, would love to play with them again!
