Long Term RPG Player Reviews

“I’ve been playing weekly with Milestone Play since the spring of 2021. Over that time, I’ve seen players come and go, develop confidence and a healthy sense of caution, and revel in cinematic moments full of triumph and tragedy. I’m eagerly awaiting the next big campaign in the way I look forward to the release of a new novel from a favorite author. I’m very excited to find out what happens to my newest character idea and I love that I’m going to be a part of that story. This is why I continue to play with Milestone Play. You should consider Milestone Play because Joshua fosters the ideal gaming space for people to play and learn together, regardless of experience level in and out of game. I’ve been playing for about 15 years, and all experience levels find a place in Milestone Play. His masterful world space generation fuels an immersive experience for seasoned adventures and ambitious newcomers with skillful guidance while accommodating a healthy and safe environment for all walks of life. Book with confidence for a memorable and inclusive experience.”

“I've been playing with Josh for a long time, and can say the offerings continue to get better and better. Whether it's a one-shot, mini-series, or year and half campaign, I've never been disappointed. His story-telling, rules knowledge and application, and table etiquette are all top notch.”

“If you're seeking a custom game or a by-the-book adventure, you've come to the right place! Milestoneplay has been pivotal in my life for a plethora of reasons. It all began with my first campaign, delving into my imagination and the imaginations of others after work for pure enjoyment. Over time, I evolved, turning real-life situations into fantasy settings to gain insights and experiences in specific scenarios. Now, it's a harmonious blend of both worlds.”

“I've now played several sessions in Josh's amazing homebrewed world. I can honestly say it is one of the best tables I've ever sat at! He is incredibly attentive to each player and makes sure everyone has a chance to get what they sat at the table for. His ability to breathe life into the world and his NPCs have me stuck to my seat all game, always wishing the next session would start as soon as one finishes. If you're not sure about joining an online game, I say do it because it is worth it! I recommend his games to everyone I know.”

“It's been nearly three years adventuring in Josh's incredible homebrew world, and it's as amazing as ever. Each session, whether it's part of a long-form campaign, a mini-series, or one of the many one-shots, brings something new and exciting. One of my favorite aspects is how every character I've played, from heroes to an immortal villain waiting to return, has left a lasting impact on the world. His attention to every player's journey makes every game feel special and tailored just for us. If you're thinking about joining an online game, I can't recommend joining the Milestone community enough. The experience has only gotten better with time, making every session something I eagerly look forward to. Trust me, it's worth it!”

“I've been playing with josh for the last few years and its been great! He always has an interesting take on the story that makes the game so much more interesting, even after all the sessions weve played together he can still surprise our group in anyway. It Has everything a DnD player can want; Silliness, Drama, Combat and Fun”

— Dave S., Player since 2021

“An absolutely amazing GM. His world building is top notch and his attention to detail is flawless. He’s gone out of his way to personalize my character and help me tailor my character to my vision. Can’t say enough great things about him! 10 out of 10 all around!”

— Todd, Previous Player of Two D&D Campaigns over a year each

“Joshua knows the 5e system very well and plays to its strengths. He listens to what his players are looking for and crafts an enticing narrative.”

— Nic LT., Player of a ~1 Year campaign

“Josh is a great DM and is very willing to work with players to make sure they get the most out of every game. He is extremely creative and also willing to listen to the ideas of others. He is adaptable and can work with players of any level, whether you have never played and have no idea where to start or you've been playing for years and know the rules inside and out, he can build a game that will be unique and enjoyable. His D&Disney is also ton of fun and probably the most fun I have ever had with a one shot.”

— Aleks K., Player that predates Milestone Play

“Playing in Joshua's games have been some of the best memories I have had so far! Joshua dedicates his time to understanding the game and assisting players with any questions and ideas. He is excellent at getting into character and inspiring the players to role play through the story as well as the game. I have become better at communicating not only in game but out of game too and I have learned so much through playing. Joshua is one of the most dedicated, imaginative, challenging and fun game masters I have had!”

Circus Flow Reviews

“I had a lot of fun at the workshop for learning juggling 101. I went in with a little knowledge, or lack of knowledge, and by the end of the hour workshop, I was getting pretty close to managing a 3-ball cascade. With a little more practice over the following week, I've been able to get into a flow and am now slowly working on getting better and better. The instruction was great and the explanations on how and why we learn the way we learn make it much easier and more fun. A great workshop and I'm so thankful I attended!”

Family Reviews

“This was our family's first game through Milestone Play. My youngest daughter said `That was fun!’ and that is the highest praise since she has not yet fallen in love with D&D! All four of us had a good time, Joshua did a great job of offering freedom and success for us beginner players. He did voices, explanations and I cannot wait to play again!”

— Heather, D&D Family Oneshot

One-Shot Player Reviews

“Josh knows how to read the room… he will create adventures worth taking, stories worth telling, and laughs worth sharing. If you’re looking for a DM who will create a great experience regardless of your skill level, an engaging environment with three dimensional characters, and a challenge that scales with your play style, look no further. Josh is a true credit to the D&D community. Ready your dice, stoke your imagination, and schedule it!”

“As someone who has been on the fence on whether the game is something I would enjoy or not, Josh exceeded my expectations. I had an excellent time as a newer player and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”

— Jack M., Company OneShot, January 21st ‘24

“It was so much fun and I had a great time. Joshua was very patient with all my questions and his story-telling was on point and so creative!!! I would love to play again with him as the DM- 10/10 for sure!!!”

“It was great fun. I had a fantastic time and Joshua was very patient and answered any questions you asked. Fantastic story telling and I would definitely play again. 10/10”

— Sean B., One-shot player

“Joshua did awesome. He ran a birthday one shot for me and my husband and it was super fun. I told him I wanted a RAW game and he was super knowledgeable and what was even more amazing was he let us do cool things while still staying RAW. He listened to everything we wanted to do and always let us try. He made sure to keep us both engaged also, even when we were split up. During the start, he asked us about a lot of aspects we didn't even think about, and it was clear he wanted to run a game we would enjoy.”

— Collette, One-Shot player
