About Micah I.
I’m Micah, better known as the NerdyGM — a professional Game Master, storyteller, and lover of both the nerdy and the refined. By day, I’m exploring the outdoors, enjoying a good cigar, and appreciating life’s finer things. By night, I’m weaving tales across the worlds of D&D 2024, Daggerheart, and Drawsteel. For me, tabletop RPGs aren’t just about dice rolls — they’re about character growth, cinematic moments, and unforgettable stories. I thrive on building worlds where players feel like heroes, and where character development matters just as much as combat. Community is at the heart of everything I do. I run games, create content, and build spaces where players — whether brand new or seasoned adventurers — can feel welcome, challenged, and inspired. At the end of the day, I’m not just a GM. I’m a storyteller, mentor, and world-builder who believes the best adventures happen when people come together around the table (digital or not).

I got started GMing...
I first picked up the GM screen back in high school — and I never put it down. Almost ten years later, I’ve run countless adventures, crafted worlds, and helped players bring their characters to life. I go by the NerdyGM (short for NerdyGentleman) because my passion for storytelling is equal parts
How Micah I. runs games
Roleplay is a large part of my games, but more importantly that each player has their moment to shine. I work with each player to come up with a compelling backstory that intertwines with the world and from their we create things like character arcs and with this i help craft a epic that features all characters coming together and growing as a whole as they combat the dark forces of evil that lies before them. Not great at roleplaying? Or is this your first game? Don't worry! I make sure to take the time help you slowly ease you into this new world. step by step and if necessarily i will call on an experienced player or two to join that can help you learn the ropes. So if its your 1rst game or your 1001rst i've got you covered.
