About me

🚵🏻‍♂️:6'0" // 36 // He/Him 🎲: Tales of the Valiant (D&D 5e),The One Ring 2e, Isle of Ixx, Warlock!, Mutant Crawl Classics, Quest Hello there, traveler! It's me, DM Nors. I'm a fiction and TTRPG writer, cat dad, and avid soccer fan. I grew up acting in the theater, reading fantasy books (well, my parents read them to me until about halfway through high school: I'm dyslexic), and pretending I was Frodo hiding from orcs in the woods around my parents' house. My love of the written word has brought me to a love of all things Play-by-Post! If you love TTRPGs with deep narratives and exciting adventures but don't have the time to dedicate full sessions, PbP is the medium for you! As a fiction writer, I'm all about the narrative scope of a good TTRPG session. Like a short story or novel, every uncovered thread connects to a larger tapestry, if only your characters would follow it to its conclusion. That being said, I also have a love for Mutant Crawl Classics (a gonzo OSR with extremely lethal combat), so be prepared to use every ounce of courage and cleverness to triumph in battle. I have a list of published works both in fiction as well as game design for games like Quest and Warlock! I believe in real stakes for player-characters and enemies who look to kill as much as they look to run and save themselves from death. I love rules lite games that get out of the way of players creativity and let players be awesome without sacrificing the real stakes that come with a dangerous campaign and extreme adventures.
