As someone who hasn't played in 20 years, Josh made it very simple and fun while learning the new edition. His preparation and flexibility for scheduling was very helpful and professional. Due to the limited number of players in the learning campaign, Josh played the role of DM and all NPC characters with varying accents, back stories, and actions. I would recommend Josh for any game/campaign you're looking to play.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
