About me
I'm a writer and teacher from the US, now living in Spain. I've been GMing various TTRPGs for over 20 years. I love worldbuilding and crafting stories around my players' characters and the choices they make in-game. I make a special effort to make my games safe and inclusive spaces where we can tell immersive stories together.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
The characters will start at level 1, and will be created (or at least concieved) together during session 0 in Roll20, using the Point Buy system for attributes. Most official published content will be allowed in the game as player options, as well as a few options unique to this setting, though there will be a set of recommended races/ancestries that have a more direct connection to the immediate setting. Third party options may be allowed on a case-by-case basis. For new players, I will happily walk them through the process, up to and including building a character for them myself based on a few questions I ask.
The party has a barbarian, a bard, a nature cleric, and a mystic. You're welcome to bring anything you want to the fray! We're still early in the story so it's a great time to join!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have a computer, a mic, and accounts on Roll20 and Discord. No dice or character sheets needed, as all will be handled digitally in roll20.

How Nik creates a safe table
I will send a survey to you that you can fill out in order for me to know your lines, veils, expectations, and interests before the session. We will discuss these things in session 0 as well, build your characters, and play an short opening session. Later sessions will start with a short chat, recap, and then we will get right into playing, with at least one 5-10 minute break. We will end the sessions with a small debriefing to check in on each other, talk about stars and wishes, and to plan what your characters want to do in the next session.
