About me

Hi! I’m Nelson. Project manager by day, stage magician by night, and in my free time, a dice-rolling Sorcerer Rabbit with a haunted past. I’ve been playing TTRPGs - mainly D&D 5e - on and off for years, but over the last two, I’ve jumped in with both feet, playing twice a week and loving every minute of it. I really found my footing here on StartPlaying, I have been welcomed by inclusive, fun, and deeply creative GMs and players. That experience has inspired me to give back by becoming the kind of GM I would’ve loved to have met at my first table. I run D&D 5e (both 2014 & 2024) for friends, family, and anyone looking for an adventure with heart, comedy, and edge of the seat thrills. My background in project management helps me guide groups through creative challenges and navigate conflict with clarity and care. And as a professional magician, I bring theatricality, wonder, and a touch of spectacle to every game I run.

GM Style

I am first and foremost a player at heart, which means my guiding principle as a DM is always: what will make this fun for the players? I reward creativity, encourage collaboration, and follow the rules - until something much cooler (or dumber) comes along. I’m not a voice actor (many of my NPCs mysteriously sound like Brooklyn cab drivers), but I bring enthusiasm to every role. I have zero shame in being silly if it serves the story, the fun, or the joke. I tend to rely on published, time-tested material as a foundation - but the players shape the narrative, and the dice decide the outcomes. I’m a radically progressive and inclusive DM who values communication above all else. Whether you are brand new or a seasoned adventurer, I strive to create a game that's safe, welcoming, respectful, and FUN for everyone. All d20s are equal under the sun.
