About me
Passionate Dungeon Master with an insatiable love for the art of storytelling. My journey into the magical realm of Dungeons & Dragons 5e commenced in the latter part of 2017, and from that moment, it has taken over my existence entirely! My life is a tapestry interwoven with the threads of epic adventures, fierce battles, and unforgettable tales. Having masterfully guided the destinies of countless adventurers, I've overseen not one, but two captivating ongoing sagas, as well as an array of mesmerizing one-shot adventures for a diverse array of players - from newcomers eager to embark on their maiden quest to seasoned veterans seeking new challenges. My reputation as a Dungeon Master is built upon a foundation of boundless patience and a profound comprehension of the game's intricacies, making me the perfect guide for those who yearn to explore the world of D&D but are unsure where to embark on their heroic journey. Within my creative arsenal, I've crafted an array of unique, homebrew one-shots, each a portal to new and uncharted realms of imagination. I cordially extend an invitation to you, daring adventurers, to venture with me into the enchanting and bespoke world of Orlanis, where epic quests and boundless possibilities await your arrival.
GM Style
Relaxed, laid back DM style. Comfortable with both heavy roleplay and combat driven games. Creativity and tactical thinking is encouraged at my table. Every NPC has a distinct voice. Stickler for the rules. Rule number 1? The rule of cool.

Batters provides an immersive role-playing experience with a great storyline. From exciting plot hooks to interesting NPCs, he creates a enthralling experience that always leaves me eager to come back for more. He does an excellent job in making sure our PCs come to life by including aspects of our backstories in the world and even the storyline, allthewhile ensuring a comfortable playing environment where everyone can have fun and let their creativity roam free.
Sam
Battersby is the type of GM who world builds in his free time, every city, NPC, questline, story arc that could be conceived is always fully fleshed out, even if they're never encountered, no detail is too small or left out. He never rushes the players into doing something they don't want to do or if they aren't yet ready, but still sets a pace and tone that players are clearly comfortable with. Characters, lore, and world are all rich, engaging, and unique. A great and welcoming GM for all player types and all experience levels!
Crystal
Nathan is a wonderful DM! He made my introduction to DnD fun, streamlined, and let my creativity take the wheel. He knows when to step in and offer aid when you’re struggling, but never in an overbearing way. He really brings each session to life with great voice acting, witty humor, and mood-setting soundscapes & music. Overall, he’s just a brilliant creative with a penchant for making sure each character has a memorable adventure!
Owen
A good all-around DM with a great mind for storytelling and world-building. Is able to adapt to changes and keep a clear overarching story throughout. Is open to Player created lore and story.
Frida
Battersby includes everyone in the game play, helps you build your dream character and makes sure to keep the interest flowing. He is extremely fair and makes sure everyone has a good time. If you can't find the perfect fit for a subclass, he'll gladly sit down with you and write a homebrew, to make sure it fills exactly what you see your character as. He brings thrilling fights, trickly mysteries and emotional roleplay to the table, which have left me speach less multiple times. Every session brings interesting characters, conversations and adventure, and he is definitely the best DM I have ever had. He makes you and your character feel important, because you are not playing his game, you are building a story together, DM and players.
