I'm Jonah Fishel.

I'm a storyteller and an educator.

I can't usually focus on just one thing at a time, so this website is a place for all the little things I'm working on to live on the web.

My Active Projects

If I had to identify what these all had in common, I guess I'd say this:

My gift is looking very hard at all the little pieces of things and seeing a way they fit together. It's not always the best way.

But I when I'm learning something, I would rather have all the information in front of me at once so I can sift through and process it all, detail by detail, until I can make a meaning of my own.

Each of the projects below is me teaching my own meaning or the models I've created for myself to others.

The Quest Brothers

all about proactive roleplaying: a new way to transform your TTRPG tables

I'm one half of the Quest Brothers. We're the authors of the Game Master's Handbook of Proactive Roleplaying, a book about storytelling in tabletop roleplaying games.

Our book released in October 2023. You can read all about our approach to TTRPGs here.

You can find the other half of the Quest Brothers here.

Next Step Prep

all about academic mentorship and test prep for young people with learning differences

I run a small tutoring company based out of Charlottesville, VA. We provide test prep and academic support to high schoolers and undergraduates with learning differences.

For ten years, I’ve been providing support, mentorship, and guidance for those kids who fall through the cracks. My mission is to provide world-class support for anyone who has been left out or left behind of a traditional classroom.
