About me

Hey you! Yes you! I can see that you are glancing at my profile. Hold it! Please take the time to read what I have to say, I hope it will be worth your while. People refer to me as Nicklaus, but just call me Nick for short. I got my start in D&D with 5th Edition, and have been hooked ever since. Most of the campaigns I've played or am currently playing involve me being the Dungeon Master, but I do have some experience as a player too! Since then, I have taken on the role of Dungeon Master for 5 campaigns, and played in another 2 campaigns. I have run multiple one shots as well and have a good amount of experience in that regard. I have ran for multiple age groups, ranging from high school to working adults. In terms of rules, I am typically focused more on the rule of cool. I'm do not enforce misruling, although I do prefer to play mostly by the official D&D rules. I try to keep all the rules inside my head but I do not claim to be infallible by any stretch of the imagination. In terms of what you can expect from me when I run a game for you, I will ensure that I will do my best to ensure that everyone at the table has fun. I have no problems with getting into character, watching others role-play out moments, nor do I have any issues with running tactical combat. I will modify the type of game I run to the age range that I run for and what the players enjoy, but my strengths lie in letting the players feel like powerful heroes. If you like what you have read so far, what are you waiting for? Take a look at what I am running and get a spot! I will do my best to make it worth your while.


GM style

If I were to describe my GM style, it would be a middle ground between role-play and tactics. I have no issues in talking in voices and goofing around role-playing certain moments, however, I am no trained actor by any means. Therefore, if you are looking at me thinking if I am the next Matt Mercer, I am sorry to disappoint. Regardless of this, I do not expect my players to be good role-players and if you are uncomfortable talking in character or making silly voices, I am more than willing to accommodate for you and ensuring that your comfort and fun still remain my absolute priority. Combat wise, I will not run my games like a Warhammer 40K game where the slightest oversight is punished and scrutinized. However, I do expect that my players approach combat in a more tactical way as I will be making large use of battle maps and grids. If this scares you, do not worry, I will tailor combat to the experience level and desired experience of each individual party.
