About Nikolae
Hi my name is Nikolae, I've been a fan of dnd and tabletop games since I was a knee high to a grasshopper. Ive mostly been playing indie ttrpgs and skirmish games lately tho ive been a Dm and player in dnd5e for 10+ years. Cloud Empress ☁️🪲 has been my main focus lately, it's a rules light setting/system using the Mothership RPG engine that leans heavily into narrative flavor and simple mechanics to capture the weird ecological science fantasy aesthetic of it's primary touch stone, the 1984 studio Ghibli animated film "Nausicaä in the Valley of the Wind". It blends elements of pastoral fantasy adventure, post apocalyptic survival and cosmic scifi horror to create a setting thats completely unique. Main highlights include giant bone-eating psychic cicadas, bug chalk powered magic, airships, cloud cities, toxic fungal jungles and the ruins of a fallen bygone technological age. The other tabletop games I enjoy are mostly solo play or skirmish/wargames but here's a few Turnip28, Nekroplanet Grob, Alien Zoology, Wanted!Reward:cc10000

Hayao Miyazaki, if he wrote his scripts at 3:33 am in a cursed graveyard on magic mushrooms.
Nikolae's ideal table
My ideal table is one that is creative and narrative focused, where the players are invested and engaged in the story were weaving together at the table.
Featured Prompts
I love it when a player
shares the spotlight in a way that draws in and engages other players to also add to and share in the moment, it really does make a world of difference at the table. Instead of everyone fighting to be the main character, show new players that fun collaborative storytelling is winning in ttrpgs
My table is not the place for...
enacting fantasies of sexual violence, erotic rp, bigotry, racism, facist ideology, homophobia, transphobia, torture, any kind of violence against children. Try to consider that what might be "fun" for one person might be a source of trauma or pain for others. 1 strike rule period
