About Cone of Cool

🍁Canadian (eh)🍁 🗣️Character Voices🗣️ ❤️Fleshed Out NPC's❤️ 🎵Ambient Music🎵 ⚔️Challenging & Creative Combats⚔️ 🗺️An Embarrassing Amount of Worldbuilding🗺️ Hey, my name's Nick. I've been playing 5e for years with buddies of mine and fell into DMing a while back. I instantly fell in love with it. I love creating rich and fun atmospheres as well as multidimensional characters. I love teaching new players but working with seasoned adventurers is also a blast. I've been a performer all my life and have incredible amounts of energy so I love the theatricality that comes with being a DM. I love the untethered creativity of a player once you really get them into the story. I'm a big believer that good communication and understanding is the key to a perfect campaign. I remember when I started playing and how much I appreciated the patience of the people who taught me so I really highly value patience in my games with those who are new and I understand how scary it is to be a player for the first time and it seems like there's a whole world of information you don't know. I love teaching, DMing, and voice acting.

I used to perform in a circus where I would juggle and make balloon animals whilst riding atop a 6 foot tall unicycle.

How Cone of Cool runs games

Character voices are a MUST for me. If I haven't lost my voice by the end of the session I consider that a failure. I think that character voices are such a fun way to bring your character to life and well worth the 2 liters of green tea and honey necessary to preform them. I also love incorporating every character's backstory within the adventure so the campaign is meaningful for everyone. Maybe an important family member or friend will show up down the line... maybe your magical abilities have some ties to an ancient prophesy... or maybe there's a more menacing creature thats been keeping an eye on you...
