About me
Greetings Champion! My name's Eric (They/Themπ³βπ) online Bluku. Blu for short. I started playing D&D in 2020 and instantly fell in love with running the game. As a natural born story-teller with a flair for the fantastical and funny; along with the fearsome and ferocious I bring a fun, friendly, safe place to live the adventure that you want to live. I've been running weekly games for about 4 years. In that time I've DMed: The infamous Baldur's Gate: Decent into Avernus π The Spelljamming space adventure known as The Light of Xarysis π½ The dungeon anthology Tales from the Yawning Portal π§ββοΈ The puzzling experience of Candlekeep Mysteries Along with various one-shots, and two homebrew campaigns. Inclusivity, kindness, and a commitment to a fun and safe space are my promises to you, dear player. May the dice gods be with you π
GM Style
I love a good balance of great adventures to amazing places fueled by the stories you want to tell, coupled with edge of your seat combat that stays with you for days after. I've learned that setting up plots and world events are important, but not as important as listening to the players, and their characters, and letting You lead the story. I'm always willing to put myself out there for the game. Silly goblin voices, cackling witches, sinister dragon roars, and crackly elder tongues. I bring a soundscape and dynamic lighting to my online maps so that you are immersed in what your character sees and hears. I keep a friendly and inclusive table that is a safe space. Hate may exist in the game as an evil force to be destroyed; but real-world hate such as bigotry or harassment has no place at my table. If you disagree with that, this isn't the table for you.

Eric (BluKu) is an absolutely amazing human. I was a first time player and they made everything easy to understand and it was so much fun. They had 4 first time players completely enthralled, in our characters, and having the time of our lives for hours. Eric had a full world created for us, fully developed characters for us to interact with, including voices, sound effects and full description of the world around us. It was very easy to stay in character. They were also very patient with us first timers and kept us on track and invested in the game. Ericβs also just so cool, they know their stuff and theyβre fun to be around. Great DM, and I canβt wait to keep playing with them π

Ok, 8 months in and BluKu is killing it! I have been playing DnD for over 40 years and some of the best games I have ever played have occurred in this campaign. BluKu is a great DM! First thing about BluKu is they are really smart and have a great memory. They have tied so many little details over many games that weave together to make the story so engaging! BluKu is kind and caring, connecting personally with the players and adjusting to each players out of game lives and real world demands. Their style is flowing and they interact with the players tactfully and with respect. BluKu also knows the rules, and if they don't it, they are really good at saying "hey, this is my rule for tonight and we will revisit this over the next week". They also usually roll really bad which is great for the players ;) I have very much enjoyed my 8 months in this campaign and look forward to many more games with them!

BluKu is the best GM out of all of the ones I've played with! They were super patient with me and helped me out with character creation and background and helped me out with a one on one session zero as I had missed the group one. They are very encouraging of creativity and does a great job playing different NPCs.

i'm so glad my first dnd adventure was with blu as my dm. they make the game very accessible to rookies, and is always willing to help you change up your character to make sure you're having maximum fun, and does it in a fascinating in-game way. they also go out of their way to make sure all players are getting a chance to be involved. i've since played with several other dms, but blu is hands-down the best i've had. been adventuring with them for almost 8 months now and will continue to do so as long as they keep running games.
