About me

I'm a novice DM who recently delved into running one shots, much to the delight of my players. Now, I'm eager to share that joy with others venturing into the vast realm of D&D. While I enjoy weaving sound effects and music into the game, I must confess, voice impressions are not my forte.

GM Style

My approach to game design involves integrating elements of roleplay, combat, and puzzles to offer a diverse and engaging experience for players. With sessions typically lasting 3-4 hours, I prioritize consensus among the group regarding duration, ensuring an optimal and accommodating gameplay environment.

Josh made the game both fun and inviting. We all agreed to play for 4 hours and he had a great mixture of role play and combat. I really liked the incorporation of music and sound effects.
