About Hefty_Nats

🎓I am a beginner-friendly DM who loves to introduce people to the game. I have shown over 100+ people how to play this amazing game. I have a tried and true learn to play one shot that I love to run! 🧙‍♂️I started in the shutdown of 2020 in my garage with roommates/coworkers. We were D&D curious, listening to the Adventure Zone podcast. Laughing and learning along with them. I bought the starter kit. Then DMd my first session. The laughs and story we made hooked me like a charm spell. So I have been dming as much as I can ever since, from in person to looking for group posts on multiple forums. I feel capable and able to run one shots and campaigns for the masses and keep in pursuit of my dream. To bring more and more people to this awesome world of TTRPG.

How Hefty_Nats runs games

🎓I am a beginner-friendly DM who loves to introduce people to the game. I have shown over 100+ people how to play this amazing game. I have a tried and true learn to play one shot that I love to run! 🧙‍♂️I have made worlds and read modules for 5 years, and I constantly run games. So I have a rich knowledge of the game and handle many different themes. I pride myself on being able to feel the vibe of the table. Then add story aspects from all of the written and made-up world of D&D, keeping the story and energy at the table high and engaging. 🦸I never put limits on Character creation. If you can find it out there, use it. It is your make-believe time; who am I to tell you how to pretend? I will ask to see some "Reddit Builds"* and make edits where necessary, but I want you to be who you want to be! 🗺️I make every map and token for my VTT so each new scene/ setting will have new imagery, and new faces to populate the new places you go.

Rules are...

🧙‍♂️More like guidelines, the epic moment, big role play scene, or the creative use of an item or spell. That is how I play. We call this the "rule of cool" 🪄If the spell is a bonus action, do that one too! 🧪Potions are a bonus action! 🎲Crit damage is max +roll

Hefty_Nats's ideal table

👩🏽‍🎓Bring on the newbies! I love to introduce people to the world of dnd! I have shown over 100+ people how to play over the past 5 years with my Learn to Play onboarding course. Now im bringing it to the start playing platform. I used to post in "looking for games" and local game stores! 🐉Ready for adventure, curious about the world, and have a good sense of humor. The table I bring is made to go at the pace of the players and allow them to pull at any of the many threads I lay forth in the story. I fill the world with NPCs and story lines to allow for a wholly player driven campaign experience.
