About Nick
I've been dungeon mastering/game mastering since I was 10 years old. Many Years later I still love everything about it. Growing up, I DM-ed for my little brothers and friends and as an adult have DM-ed many pick-up groups online before working on this website and have had many years of successful professional GM-ing. Let me give you a challenge in a lore-rich and evolving setting where your actions matter.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be
Pathfinder 2e, Legend in the Mist, and Delta Green. They run the spectrum from low to high complexity with very different feels, genre, and time period.
My favorite books are
I'm a big fan of Brandon Sanderson and have recently branched out into Wheel of Time and Dungeon Crawler Carl.
When I'm not running games I'm...
I currently work as a substitute teacher and am working towards a credential to teach high school chemistry.
How Nick runs games
My games tend to be traditional heroic adventures with an emphasis on cooperative problem solving. I love integrating peoples backstories into my games, with even Adventure Paths providing ways to bring in a long lost family member or rival. I work to make each NPC feel unique including voice acting where appropriate to make important characters memorable. My combats are designed to be challenging, engaging, and specialized to the party. Be prepared to take advantage of terrain and work out ways to deal with the consequences of loud noises alerting opponents in other rooms.
Nick's ideal table
I value a positive attitude over almost any other trait. I want players who are ready to learn to play the game or help teach newer players. I run a wide variety of games, from the heroic fantasy to paranormal investigation and each game will have different vibes.

I think metagaming...
ruins the fun. I want my players to feel emersed in the role of their characters and that often includes the fear of the unknown and the need to uncover it.
I think min/maxing...
has its place. My games tend to have new players and so I do discourage it in that situation. If everyone at the table is eager to push the limits then lets have fun with it. It can be difficult to ride the fine line of challenge and player vs GM mindset. But I'm very ready to up the difficulty.
