About me
Greetings everybody! I am a storyteller at heart who loves all forms of fiction. I run games ranging from pulpy sci-fi to gritty fantasy and everything in between. I especially love weird or non-standard settings. Superheroes in a cyberpunk city? Time-traveling fantasy adventure? Teenagers on a supernatural road trip? I'm all here for it. I believe that tabletop RPGs are a unique storytelling experience where everyone at the table becomes both author and audience to the shared story. Facilitating this shared storytelling experience is my primary goal as a GM. My games do not make use of generative AI for writing, music, or images. Storytelling is a fundamentally human experience, and synthesized plagiarism has no place in my games. I look forward to sharing stories with you! Profile picture created by Neo!

We will be creating characters during session zero. Come to session zero with lots of ideas!

Working for an eccentric and reclusive scientist. 🇩🇪 Turfmerger (The Janus): Son of a German immigrant who can merge with solid matter. Recently merged with pure fear.

Safety
How Nathan Patrick Lane creates a safe table
Before session zero, I'll be private messaging all the players one-on-one to discuss Lines & Veils. Our first session will be a free session zero, wherein we will make introductions, review Lines & Veils, and create characters. At the end of every session, I will run through "Roses, Thorns, and Buds", allowing players to present positive and negative feedback about the game along with suggestions to make the game more enjoyable in the future. This game takes place in the 1940s, but I do not wish to reinforce the biases that the 1940s reflected in history and in fiction. While NPCs may espouse prejudiced beliefs (who doesn't love punching Nazis?), those beliefs will invariably be treated as ignorant at best and truly evil at worst. Moreover, your heroes are expected to be above such backwards beliefs. I hold a zero tolerance policy towards racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other such biases in players. Display of such behaviors will result in an immediate kick.
