About Joong Won Pyo
My name is Joong Won Pyo (Joong - June like the month, Won - like Won a game, Pyo - The letter P and Yo man)! I have mainly been an in-person professional GM in LA but also GM'ed in South Korea and in the army! I hope to bring my various backgrounds in writing, acting, serving in the military, business school, being multilingual, and overall chipper personality to being the best GM for you! Frankly, I am better at adapting to my players' stories than writing my own, so I want many of my campaigns to be based on what the players want rather than what I write. So if any players have any stories they want to explore, that fuels my creativity! But most important of all is safety and respect. New players, POC, LGBTQIA+, etc, all members are welcome. We are here to have a good time so safety tools will be incorporate. Happy Gaming!

Featured Prompts
I became a GM because
I love collaborative storytelling! That is also why my games are always homebrew. I love weaving in my player's backstories into the plot of the campaign.
How Joong Won Pyo runs games
I will say my strongest source of inspiration is from my players' characters. I love tying in their backstories to the overall world and let them explore themes that are unique to them. I also put high importance on balancing people's roleplay moments so everyone can share the spotlight. I believe combat should be unique! Most combats I run have an alternative combat objective, so while some might focus on the fighting, others can focus on saving lives, destroying the environment, or causing strategic chaos! Finally, while I believe story is key, this is still a game. So any major important rolls, I love to do out in the open. As any good GM would do, it is up to my improv skills to make the best out of your decision and the fate of the dice >:)
Joong Won Pyo's ideal table
If players love creating backstories and roleplaying their character arcs, this is a great table for you! I customize the story to match your character. If you also like interesting combat, I have over 100 alternative combat objectives so that fights aren't just about dealing damage.
