About me
I've been dungeon mastering/game mastering since I was 10 years old. 20 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 3 years of successful professional GM-ing. Let me give you a challenge in the lore-rich Golarion (pathfinder) campaign setting. Adventure through AP's or oneshots that have been expertly sculpted around your characters to give you the most entertaining experience I can provide.
GM Style
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 was awesome! As a first time RPG player he guided me through the game despite me not knowing much. He was kind and patient throughout the whole process, even when I was confused and stumbled. I appreciate the amount of time it took him to learn the rules so that I could have an enjoyable experience. I would definitely have him as my GM again. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Had a great time playing the introductory one shot for Legend in the Mist. We were all learning, but our GM had clearly done his research and preparation for the session. I was very impressed with how he kept the story moving and made sure everyone had a chance to shine.

Very knowledgeable and helping to beginners. The game was great and he was understanding of circumstances and moved break time around to accommodate.

I appreciated that he was learning the rules with us. He was willing to admit mistakes, take corrections. It made for pleasant and constructive learning experience.

Nick does a really fantastic job at setting the scenes and immersing you into the story. He allows for moments of RP and letting all players shine, but keeps things flowing at a good place. Good command of PF2E rules and fairly and quickly makes decisions when needed.

Really great GM. Knows the rules backward and forward and keeps the game moving. Great balance between RP and combat. I look forward to playing every week!
