My favorite books are
Robert E. Howard's Original Work with Conan the Barbarian has wormed it's way into my heart. I'd Be Remiss not to Mention Tolkien, (But then again I think most folks here can feel his Impact) For Something written this Century, World War Z was Embedded into my Childhood!
My favorite system of all Time is
D&D 5e (2014 - The system's true strength is getting out of the way when needed yet providing structure when desired. Whether we're exploring character drama or crunching tactical battles, 5e adapts. Its universal language lets us focus on story while the mechanics smoothly support any genre we play

How Nicholas Re runs games
I craft unforgettable sessions where every player leaves energized and eager for more. Whether we're delving into trap-filled dungeons with tactical combat or exploring character moments through immersive roleplay, I adapt to what the table craves that night. My tables balance meaningful choices with fun - your decisions shape the story, but we're here to enjoy ourselves. I use theater-of-the-mind for roleplay scenes and detailed maps for combat encounters. Character death is rare but possible when dramatically appropriate. Cameras encouraged but never required. While I excel at one-shots perfect for trying new characters or systems, I also run ongoing campaigns for groups seeking deeper storytelling. Every session features professional preparation: custom music, engaging NPCs with distinct voices, and polished encounters designed to spotlight each character's moment to shine.

I prep by
pulling inspiration from my fave novels and creators. Also By talking with my players to make sure every adventurer leaves satisfied!
Rules are...
... Like homemade taffy. We can adapt the recipe to fit the flavor we need. Its Flexible, and fun, and can help STICK the flavor to our mouth. Sometimes the most creative moments happen when we deal with the creative limitations imposed by them. However, sometimes its fun to just go wild!
Nicholas Re's ideal table
My table feels like game night with friends who happen to be incredible storytellers. We celebrate creative problem-solving, cheer each other's successes, and turn failures into memorable moments. Expect collaborative energy where your wild ideas get "yes, and" responses, balanced with enough structure to keep momentum flowing. Perfect fit players: Those who love making bold choices, enjoy both strategic combat and character moments, and understand that the best stories come from working together. Whether you're the tactical optimizer, the method actor, or the comic relief, you'll find your spotlight. New players discover confidence here; veterans find fresh challenges. The vibe? Professional preparation meets relaxed execution. I come ready with music, maps, and voices, but we pause for jokes and build on each other's energy. Rules support fun, never replace it. We respect boundaries through safety tools while pushing creative limits. Think "Critical Role's heart meets home game comfort" - polished enough to feel special, casual enough to try anything
