About Mik
My name is Mik and I've been enamored by tabletop for nearly ten years. My table is a place where *a ton* of laughs are shared, and a place where we can unwind from the busyness of our day to day lives and have some good ol' fashioned fun. I am a massive fan of mixing it up - often I've developed systems or had to improv things on the fly for when players want to do, well, anything. Mass combat systems, settlements, running a guild, having hirelings or NPCs - you name it. I'm a bit nifty with spreadsheets and that helps me be able to organize the game and world to a higher degree to give my players a chance at doing things they might not have considered before. My sessions will usually be a mixture of roleplay and combat, ebbing and flowing depending on the current setting, storyline, arc, or plothook being followed. I am a huge fan of involving character backstories into the overall plot, so please, go all out! Join my table if you want to laugh, roll some dice with a goofball DM, and just maybe end up saving the world.

How Mik runs games
I tend to flow with the players at my table and lean into their strengths and interests. More interested in combat? Bring it on, Table full of logistic wizards? I'll set a spreadsheet up. Roleplay vs Systems - While I am keen on the rules, skill checks, and what not, I am also a believer in strong roleplay and being 'clever' or 'appropriate' with word or action choices. You can steer a conversation or convince an NPC through good dialogue without needing to make that roll for example. Character Voices - I am Terrible! But I'll do it anyway! Combat - In combat I won't pull punches, and you can very well find yourselves in a near impossible scenario *if* you let yourself get there. To that end, not all combat needs to end with one side defeated, maybe a smart parlay can delay a party wipe. Goofiness - I've had my share of serious tension, but in general my table is usually full of laughter and funny moments. I am a fun loving jokester type of guy, and my biggest happiness is making my players smile and laugh. Expect puns, references, and general silliness, and I would doubly hope the same from you! Gameplay - I run my tables on Roll20, taking advantage of the tools provided by their premium membership such as dynamic lighting, etc. Typically I will run a session in Discord as I find it easier for both myself and players to organize text on that software, while leaving Roll20 for in game use. Art - I use both Wonderdraft and Dungeondraft for my maps, this is a budding skill I continue to work on. In conjunction with Roll20's dynamic lighting system, expect maps to contain well, dynamic lighting, and secret doors, and perhaps other hidden things.

Enjoyment for the Table
Mik's ideal table
Light-hearted vibes and fun. If you like to laugh, roleplay, giggle at mistakes or silliness, and want to learn DnD, you are absolutely welcome! I throw a good mix of combat and roleplay opportunities in my sessions, and I am always open to homebrewing and having some customization for my players.

Goofiness and general good vibes
I love it when a player
Thinks outside the box! Does something awesome (or hilarious) And has great RP with their fellow players
My table is not the place for...
Rules Lawyering, arguing, or bad vibes. We're here to have a good time. I as a DM will let things go if it makes the table happy or leads to a good time. I don't need DMs or secret messages about little things. We're here for a fun time, life is stressful enough! Come to my table to unwind!
