About Joey
Greetings adventurers. It’s nice to meet you at this virtual table!
Who am I?
My name is Joey and I’m a Dungeon Master and an enthusiast of Dungeons and Dragons living in Vancouver BC.
I read almost anything (current events, fiction, nonfiction), hike trails, travel, play video games, and play guitar in a band. I’m also Canadian, which is something eh?
​
I'm happy to have seen and experienced the dungeons and dragons scene around Vancouver growing. I'm happily married to my wondrous, hardworking wife as of July 2021. She plays D&D with me and supports me immensely as a person and as a DM. I cannot thank her enough for her love and support!​​​​​​
My Dungeon Master Background
I'm a dynamic Dungeon Master with over 10 years of experience crafting engaging Dungeons & Dragons adventures. I put players first as a "Neutral Good" DM, expertly weaving player needs into rich, narrative-driven gameplay.
When it comes to homebrew vs modules, I often take the hard road (homebrew). Fantasy modules can be fun, but I like to add a fresh twist to traditional games by incorporating sci-fi elements: space galleons, energy blasters, and magical/tech weapons, creating unique and memorable campaigns.
​
This blog connects with hundreds of readers every month. I like to share insights and stories running games. As a DM, I've hosted in various settings - online, at community meetups, or in corporate environments. People have given me praise for his storytelling, patience, and professionalism.
I love art. And I show this through dedication to make every session I run a standout experience for everyone at the table.
This Blog is Your D&D Resource
I didn’t create this blog just because I wanted something to do. I’m writing this to add to the passionate community of D&D. I’m ecstatic that this tabletop roleplaying game is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
I want to help you by sharing my opinions and experiences with you. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or completely new who just got their first character sheet, Starter Set or Player’s Handbook, I want you to find something useful here.
I Was Once the New, Head-scratching, Underprepared DM
​
I know firsthand how difficult it was for me to start D&D with a motley crew of friends, once being a novice Dungeon Master in the suburbs of Vancouver. I plan to make my work easily understood and concise. I’ll share my opinions, my success stories, my failures, content that I’m working on and anything else I believe is important.
I also want your opinion. People don’t always agree on things, especially on the internet. Feel free to leave a comment whenever you have something useful to share. Maybe you’d like to see a post about a particular topic or you’re confused about a rule and need clarification. Your comments will also help guide my writing and inspire my posts.
Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, I believe we all have something to bring to the table. Thank you for joining me here. So sit down, have your preferred beverage or snack, leave a respectful comment if you wish and let’s go on this D&D journey together.
~Joey
