About me
Currently, taking a break from DMing.
GM Style
I'm a balanced GM with an equal focus on role-playing, combats, puzzles, but lean very much into story and like to help players develop rich backgrounds for the characters. Beginner friendly and I don't mind taking time helping players into the space with an inclusive and patient demeanor. We're all here to have fun.

He's a rare Dungeon Master who knows the earliest edition ruleset and supplementary material very well. He really brings the world to life, and is excellent at dealing with the curveballs players can throw his way. Firm and fair, he keeps the game moving and his players engaged.
I had a lot of fun playing in the world that he built. The story was engaging and the new subclasses were interesting and I wanted to see how they played out. Hollywood DM definitely worked with the players to make fun combat scenarios-- like crashing through a wall to save a party member in an ambush. The story is well thought-out and intriguing. The game was relaxed and definitely rule of cool. I joined with a bunch of usual friends and we all fit right into his gaming world and all had a great time. I definitely recommend this DM!
Oh, what a fun storyteller! The world created, the personalities, and the atmosphere created was wonderful. Definitely leans to the rule of cool and focuses on bringing the players into the world and making them part of it. I couldn't stop giggling, it was so much fun to bring my character to life!
Nate is an incredible storyteller with an intuitive grasp of how to connect with players and share great moments together. He expresses himself through a mix of art and wonderful voices and is well served by a genuine empathy towards his players which makes him a fantastic GM for beginners and veterans alike. I especially like how he shares the joy of great moments with his players, laughing, cheering, and exulting in their success right along with them. He inspires me to be a better player or GM myself and is a true master of his craft.
Nate created one of the most elaborate, immersive worlds that I have ever played in as a DND player. Through his creativity and incredible storytelling he gave us access to a world that felt unique, real, and lived-in. His investment in the game universe in turn inspired us as players to invest in our characters, which upped the stakes of the game in a very fun way. Every decision felt like it mattered.
This DM's ability to create the atmosphere, weave the story, bridge individual character personalities, and challenge the player while ensuring that everyone has fun is second to none. If fun, creativity, friendship, and comradery are what you are looking for, this is the DM you want to have.
