About Nadia

Hi there! Welcome to Startplaying Games! My name is Nadia and I would love to GM for you! Specializing in 5e, but also comfortable with Kids on Bikes and Savage Worlds, Everyday Heroes and Marvel Multiverse RPG. Learning more systems (Girl by Midnight, Call of Cthulu, Badge Quest, Bluebeard's Bride, Pugmire, Romance of a Perilous Land) I'm comfortable with teaching new players how to play. I keep my sessions fun first and foremost and I believe rules are meant to be bent, as long as the players are having fun. I enjoy working with both players who want to win and also players who love to roleplay and share a story. LGBTQ+ friendly and I consider my table a safe space for people of all backgrounds and orientations to feel welcome.

I got started GMing...

because my partner needed help running games for a convention he was working at. I worked incredibly hard on creating a game (it was Barbie-themed btw) and an experience for the players and got sucked into DMing.

When I'm not running games I'm...

catching up on Rupaul's Drag Race, hanging out with my partner and my dog, and thinking up my next TTRPG idea.

How Nadia runs games

Roleplaying is my first love! I love creating stories with the players and I thrive on improv. I've played with a lot of chaos gremlin players so I definitely know how to roll with the punches. I like to give a lot of room for roleplaying between the players and I'm good at managing large groups of people.

I prep by

having a general outline of points that need to be hit for the most part but being prepared to change things and adapt things depending on what the players do.

Rules are...

there for structure and there are some rules that are important but I think rules can sometimes be bent if it helps make a better overall experience for the players.

When it comes to voices

I do my best for sure!

Nadia's ideal table

I tend to be a high energy DM so people matching that energy is always great! I'm all about making my players laugh, even at the expense of myself. I'm a millennial full of millennial references so anyone who is interested in that is a great fit for my table!

I am for a vibe that's...

fun, exciting, and high energy. I love giving everyone that moment to shine without being disrespectful of the other players.

I think metagaming...

is bad news bears. I agree that it's hard to separate in game knowledge with out of game knowledge sometimes, but I feel it can ruin a game when a player tries to bring out of game knowledge into a scenario when their character wouldn't know.
