About me
Collaborate with me through sessions and settings to develop your characters, and traverse worlds you'd want to explore twice over! I have been a DM for 10 years between games at home and running weekly online sessions. I have a passion for the group storytelling of D&D and the comradery within. I will be running a variety of tailor made D&D 5e adventures that will be welcoming to new players, and quick to action for experienced players. My games are a safe space where people can enjoy the company of fellow adventurers from all walks of life, in situations hand crafted and home brewed with all the right spices.

Creating your character
Character creation will occur during new campaign sessions or beforehand for existing campaigns, with discussions available via messaging on Discord. All characters will start at level 3 for the initial session and will be adjusted accordingly for subsequent sessions. Character details can be finalized before the game begins and having a brief idea of the four is encouraged: Class, Background, Race, and one Feat. All characters will be hosted on a Foundry server.
The party is following personal quest lines at the moment. You can join mid-swing with a quick chat and character creation before your first session. Any experience is welcome! The party consists of the following classes: ā¢ fighter, ā¢ barbarian ā¢ artificer ā¢ wizard ā¢ rogue ā¢ bard We will be using 2014 rules, races, classes, and backgrounds.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will be required to have microphones and accounts on Forge and Discord to participate. It is recommended to use Chrome as the browser for the game's tabletop simulator foundry. Discord can be downloaded for a smoother experience compared to the browser version. Character concepts are great for preparation. We will work together to get the details translated into a D&D character. Here are links to the applications needed for the game. Forge VTT: https://forge-vtt.com/ Discord: https://discord.com/
What Nicola brings to the table
Expect well-crafted adventures, clear communication, goofy voices, rules knowledge, arbitration, advice, and help. All of this is geared toward making a fun and exciting experience for all types of players. I will have a discord server for communication, with foundry as the virtual tabletop for character sheets, visual aids, and more!
