About me

Greetings everybody! Call me Nathan (he/him)! I am a storyteller at heart who loves all forms of fiction. I run games ranging from pulpy sci-fi to gritty fantasy and everything in between. I especially love weird or non-standard settings. Superheroes in a cyberpunk city? Time-traveling fantasy adventure? Teenagers on a supernatural road trip? I'm all here for it. I believe that tabletop RPGs are a unique storytelling experience where everyone at the table becomes both author and audience to the shared story. Facilitating this shared storytelling experience is my primary goal as a GM. I look forward to sharing stories with you! Profile picture created by Neo! Check them out: https://x.com/kiyrox?s=21

GM Style

I run roleplay-heavy games, putting players first and using mechanics to support the story. When I see proactive players who have big ideas, I want to see those ideas play out to their fullest, whether they lead to glorious spectacle or tragic failure.

I enjoyed playing a one shot with Nathan as GM. Solid grasp of the rules, the vtt system, pacing and roelpaying, all combined to make for an enjoyable game. I look forward to another game with Nathan some soon!

Played an Ice Age Call of Cthulhu game and it was great fun all the way through. We had ups, we had downs, and in the end (no spoilers, 'cause Cthulhu) my character succumbed to madness. Nathan kept things moving at a goodly pace, our characters each had some excellent moments, and I'd heartily recommend picking up a game with him if you can!

Great GM / DM. I was the only one that died 10/10 would die again.

Had a great time in Nathan's monsterhearts game while I was a part of it. He did a good job of making sure players felt safe and provided a good enviroment for lots of fun improvisation to take place.
