About me

Ted has had a passion for gaming and fantasy for as long as he can remember. In high school, his passions culminated when he was invited to play Dungeons & Dragons, which sparked a new passion for the world of tabletop roleplaying. His love for the game quickly led to him becoming the "forever DM" and since then he has run numerous campaigns, spanning multiple years—including a Buffy the Vampire Slayer campaign every Friday night for 7 years in his childhood basement. In 2014, Ted formed Nerd Immersion as a way to share his love for gaming and nerd culture with the world. With the release of 5th edition D&D, he shifted the focus of Nerd Immersion to D&D livestreaming and D&D videos. Since then, the channel has streamed over 13 campaigns and released over 1000 D&D videos.

GM Style

I'd say I try to strike a healthy balance between roleplay and crunchy tactical combat. Before 5e I was 100% all about crunchy tactical combat and roleplay was sort of an after thought. With 5e and the popularity of roleplaying, I do my best to have a healthy blend of the two.

Ted is a GREAT GM. Book one of his games. He's super well versed in the rules and uses that knowledge and understanding of the game to compliment the player's style, experience, and goals for their character. His world and game scenarios are very well thought and planned out. He is SUPER easy going and quick to laugh and will also make you laugh. Book his games, check out his YouTube content, and become a Patron through Patreon.

Ted is a fantastic DM! He was well prepared and is fast on his feet. Able to adjust to how things play out and no down time, being very knowledgeable of the game and its mechanics. I had loads of fun with him and the group I was fortunate to be a part of. I highly recommend and hope to join his table again soon!

Ted was well prepared for our session, and was able to roll with our antics, but didn't pull any punches, either. He made sure everyone had fun, but made sure to throw us a slightly stressful challenge, as well. Definitely recommend.

Ted guided a diverse set of players through a fun game. I recommend strongly for beginners and experienced players to book a session with Ted. You will be happy and want to play more! Ted brought innovative ideas, shared his creativity, and thought of how to make everyone enjoy the experience. Ted was patient with us when we were being difficult, and he adapted to make sure that the session went well for everyone.
