About me

I am a real life Wizard 🧙‍♂️ (or, at least, I'd love to be..! ). I have been DMing for over 25 years(since highschool!) , and I still love it. Player Characters are the stars, I just guide them along an epic adventure. I enjoy reading, practicing and studying to hone my DMing skills. (Other hobbies: I also enjoy playing with my toddler daughters, training Brazilian jiu jitsu and I enjoy videogames)

GM Style

I run Character centered Games. Characters, their drives and goals matter, and players have truly a free choice of where to go, what do do. The thrill of a combined story (DM + player actions) is what keeps me playing after all these years. I like crunchy, tactical combat, but I am really flexible on this point, I also frecuently run theater of the mind combat. I do voices as best as I can, and I flesh out my npcs, making them memorable. One of my top qualities is weaving a multi layered story, where everything ties together. I am told my villains are top notch 😈(many times I fall asleep thinking what the villains are plotting..). I love role-playing, but moving the story forwards. I enjoy more gritty, low magic settings, but I'm really flexible on this point as well.

I'm a totalllll beginner- and if you want a judgement free, very flexible and fun game- while granted I don't have much to go off of haha- I have to say it's a lovely way to start and super fun.

The DM was very including and worked with me one on one so I could intergrade my character into the story properly. Everyone was also included and no one really felt left out.

He's very open to ideas. If you want to flavor your character or want fun niche options, just ask and he'll work with you to make your dreams into a fantasy.

Naimed is a fantastic DM! Our party was a mix of beginners, seasoned 5e players and old school DnD veterans. He kept everyone engaged and allowed for players to be creative and have fun, while also keeping the pace of the story on track. I’ll be playing his next campaign, which is a testament to how great he is as a DM. Thank you Naimed!

It doesn't matter if you are a complete beginner or a pro at DND, you are gonna have a fantastic time playing with Demian. He is a fantastic Game master, a great story teller and his attention to detail is immaculate. I played his "The Curse of Strahd" campaign, which was my first time playing DND, he helped me every step of the way and guided me through the character creation, rules, combat, etc... So i have nothing negative to say about Demian, I loved every second of playing in his game. My favorite thing about his games is that he really incourages player creativity, even if the players choice is useless/dumb he always makes it work with his magic GM powers.
