Meet the DM
My name is Joe, and I look forward to creating a community and world together. My enthusiasm for storytelling and world building was sparked by my father, who introduced me to early broadcast radio shows like The Shadow.
I became intrigued with table-top games, Dungeons and Dragons in particular, while watching my older brother play. I instantly lost interest in the concept of math for fun (I was five years old, after all).
For over a decade, I have played and have regularly been a game-master on several digital platforms for the past six years. My hope is to guide new players into experiences that grow their critical thinking, ethical compass, and creative agency!
