About me
โ Aquarius ๐ Water element ๐ Year of the Rooster ๐ง INFP (Mediator) ๐ Work From Home ๐ต๐ท Puerto Rican ๐โโฌ๐โโฌ๐โโฌ Boy Cats Mom (Three fabulous felines!) I've always had a huge imagination - ever since I was a kid, I'd be making up stories and characters. TTRPGs are like my dream come true! They let me bring all those ideas to life and share them with others. My games are a total grab-bag of inspiration โ think books, video games, anime, movies โ you name it! If it's cool and creative, it's probably snuck its way into my worldbuilding. Most of all, I love crafting campaigns that really pull players in - exciting challenges, thought-provoking moments, and a whole lot of fun along the way! I'd love for you to join one of my games sometime - seriously, come hang out! It'd be awesome to DM for you. And if you've got a full group, or even just a couple of friends you love playing with, bring 'em along too! I'm always down to start new campaigns on different days/times if there's enough interest, and it doesn't have to be a huge group either. Even 3-5 players is perfect! So if you've got a crew ready for some adventuring, just let me know. If you're interested in checking out my little D&D Discord family, join here: https://discord.gg/eTxscXnA5V Hope to see you at the table soon and may the Dice Gods roll ever in your favor! ๐ฒ

Nox is an amazing dm who will work with you on your character to include in depth details in her campaign about them if you want to feel like your actually part of a story deeper than an adventurer sign up with Nox

Seriously great game so far. Iโm really loving the spelljammer campaign Iโm currently in. 20 dollars might seem to be expensive for a pay to play campaign, but with the quality of the game so far Iโd say itโs worth the money. The DM really sets the mood for what we will and have encountered with engaging playlists and digital maps. The story so far is great from what little I know and Iโm excited to piece more together. I also enjoy the creative freedom, I mean Iโm literally playing a Space Clown Barbarian for Pete sakeโs. Plus if youโre looking for an inclusive player table this is the place. As an autistic individual myself I canโt tell you how good it is to actually feel included in a dnd game. I have had previous DMโs who werenโt so fond of me being disabled or having sensory issues/triggers and it finally feels good to have someone who understands that and is willing to work with each player to make sure theyโre comfortable. All in all this is a truly amazing game and I recommend picking up a game from Nox Arcana if youโre interested in a fun and unique experience. Sorry for the long review I just had a lot to say. ๐

Nox is an amazing DM! Very passionate about the game, storytelling, and culminating an experience where everyone feels welcome and able to bring their character to life. Over multiple occasions I have felt the space to bring some ideas I have to life and am enjoying each session as things progress. 10/10 no question

Awesome dm, and player. You can tell she loves doing this. Perfect for both newer and more seasoned players with her experience. Her energetic way of dming makes the experience quite enjoyable. Totally would recommend.
