About Nick May

What’s up everyone! My name is Nick and I’m a long time player and have been DMing for about 3 years. I currently am running 4 campaigns, all of which are very different. I started playing in a friend’s garage during 2E with physical books and just having a great time. Since then my experience has grown along with the game! I’m currently a big fan of 5.5 and the things it’s added to modern DnD experience. Let’s run some games, kill some monsters and make some legendary stories we can laugh and joke about for years to come.

How Nick May runs games

I am definitely more the story driven roleplay and heavy combat DM. I love finding ways to challenge players, everything from different challenges in combat to creative problem solving in puzzles or social situations. I strive for as much immersion from a character perspective as I can. I always strive to learn as much as I can from every group I play with!

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

Going by the book wording as closely as possible. If it’s ambiguous, unclear or no rule exists, we can roll for it or just go by what the most fun but still fair!

My games focus on...

An evolving world, character growth and development and stakes that change based on character choice.

When it comes to voices

I’m able to convey tonality and personality shifts between different NPCs but I am no voice actor.

Nick May's ideal table

Players who engage deeply with their character and the world in which they are. Players who lean towards creative problem solving. Players who enjoy combat and story based roleplay!
