About

Greetings!  Welcome to my slice of rpgclub.net!

About Me

My name is Josh Steele (aka Longshot, a longtime gaming name), and I’m from Maryland (on the east coast of the United States).  In my day job, I’m a software engineer in the space industry, where I’ve been for over 20 years.

Can you please roll a history check?

Sure thing!  I’ve been playing D&D – or various other TTRPGs – since I was a teenager, starting (I think!) with D&D 2e.  Since then, I’ve played GURPS, various incarnations of Star Wars RPG, Pathfinder (1st and 2nd edition) and many others!  What really brought me back to D&D though were 2 things: D&D 5th Edition, and Critical Role.

How do you want to do this?

D&D 5th Edition brought a much needed sense of ease to playing D&D (I’m looking at you, 4th edition), which drew me back in after being away for a while.  At about the same time, I got introduced to Critical Role, and instantly became a Critter.  The play style, the role-play, the group of friends having a blast at the table – it all brought me back to playing as a kid.  It also helped spark my desire to DM games.

So, what kind of DM am I?

  • My “mission statement” (of sorts): How do you win at D&D?  Have fun with your friends.  I’ll help facilitate that!
  • I strive for balanced play when I can – role-play, exploration, and combat
  • I love immersion!  For longer campaigns, I’ll work with you to make a backstory that ties into the bigger world.
  • I love helping new players learn the game!
  • Did I mention I want to help you have fun?

What do you need to play games with me?

  • A web browser – we will play in the Foundry Virtual Tabletop
  • A camera, mic, and Zoom installed on your machine
  • A character in D&D Beyond – that way it can get imported right into our Foundry game!

Great game. Very informative. Josh made everything very intuitive and had a ton of fun in the campaign. I will definitely see if I can play another game or campaign with him as GM.

Dan

Fantastic DM

July 15, 2024

Ran a superb mini campaign to introduce a friend to D&D. It was her first time playing and he balanced learning the mechanics with engaging story and kept both beginner and veteran players engaged! Can not recommend him enough!

Tammy

HAD A BLAST!

July 3, 2024

This was my first D&D game (campaign?) and I couldnt have asked for a better introduction! Josh gave an amazing rundown of the basics and created a comfortable and welcoming environment for random questions that popped up. Couldn’t recommend Josh more!

Nancy

Couldn't ask 4 better

Guy came out the gate with the PowerPoint slides. He clearly cares about the game and has a story to tell. And with that he’s flexible, communicative, and generally just not a dick. Games are a safe creative space and 10 out of 10, good time.

Excellent dm

May 30, 2024

Josh is a great dm. he understands the game very well and the games he runs are fascinating and interesting. If ever I get the chance to play in once of his games I sure will take the opportunity.

Janaya

Great for beginners

Josh makes the game really accessible and enjoyable and makes sure everyone is engaged. I learned a ton and he was very patient in answering all of my questions. It also happened to be a lot of fun, thanks to his style and approach. Highly recommend!

Mike M.
