About me
Welcome Adventurer! I'm an easy going Dungeon Master who enjoys the silly things that players come up with but also within the rules of the game. If it's possible, I will try and make it happen for you! This means I do tend to play the rules as written, but the Rule of Cool can always be an option! I have been a DM for the last couple of years, after stumbling across a podcast for Starfinder. Since then I have wanted to create an as exiting and immersive experience as I experienced, listening to the podcast, for people that I run games for. I use both Roll20 and Foundry VTT to run my games. As I'm still pretty fresh as a DM, I'm in the process of achieving a balance between playing the game by the book while also allowing for fun shenanigans and improvisation, and of course having fun in the process :)
GM Style
My DM style is also in development but I feel that the player should have agency in order to shape their experience. I will tell you what is around you and might even present some options, but at the end of the day it is you, the players, who make the decisions and shape the story line and the adventure. I'm also quite comfortable with either theatre of the mind or grid-based combat. I enjoy making custom maps for the campaigns and one shots that I run and creating an immersive environment through the use of online tools and ambience. Voices for NPCs are also a thing I am trying to constantly improve and work on as I have found roleplaying NPC an enjoyable experience. For all other "player infractions" I run on a 3 strikes rule. If a player is not being a team player or is making the experience worse for others, I will privately speak to the individual causing the problem. After that they will be warned once more and notified that if the behaviour persists, it will incur consequences. If behaviour still has not changed they will not be invited back. I want that everyone has an enjoyable experience at the table (or monitor) and I will try to facilitate a safe and immersive environment to the best of my abilities.

I believe that if you are either learning D&D or if you are coming back from time away he is a great dm. I believe the real important part is he allowed me to start enjoying aspects of the game I hadn't before. I tended to be combat driven and a little shy to role play but he was accommodating and inclusive. this really helped me to take a few immersion leaps and now I enjoy the full game.

Aeon Nero is an incredibly hard working and patient DM. We all signed up for a hard game and he is delivering! I have run Curse of Strahd myself and he has a much better knack for tone and getting it spooky and creepy. He checks in with us often to see how we're doing and if there's anything he can do to improve. He has incredible tools at his disposal that really add another layer to the immersion. I roped my friend in to join, and the two other people that joined have been really fun to play with. I cannot recommend Aeon Nero enough! I hope to see you out there :)

Chris is always going the distance to create visual stunning stories, and incorporate player backstories in his game. He is inclusive and kind, but he balances that well with creating proper gothic horror in campaigns like curse of strahd. Personally I love my sessions with him and I always look forward to the next one.

Pacing in terms of story progression feels great. They might not be the best at balancing encounters (oftentimes they feel too easy) but make up for it with great flexible worldbuilding. I've always felt that we can decide to go wherever and they will throw something at us that feels thought through and worthwhile. They use professional tools and are always innovating/learning in between sessions. They really do prep better and wider than any other GM I know. If you want a GM that encourages communication and will listen to your ideas + work them into the game, this is the GM for you!

Great use of Foundry and overall knowledge of D&D as well as being able to handle the needs of a pretty large player group

Wow. Fantastic DM. Good prep, music, atmosphere. His command of Foundry VTT was excellent. I won’t ever be going back to Roll20 et al…I’m really looking forward to continuing RIME with Aeon.
