About me
I'm an urban fantasy and cosmic horror author who loves running TTRPGs and helping players learn new systems. I also run a YouTube channel dedicated to helping GMs and players get the most out of Roll20. I've been game mastering for a little over 20 years, across a variety of systems including D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Traveler, and Delta Green. I view RPGs as collaborative storytelling with the PCs as the stars, and love the thrill each session brings. I strive to make new players feel welcome, and folks from all walks of life are welcome to join my table. Let's roll some dice together!
GM Style
My main concern is ensuring everyone has fun during a session. While I will stick to the rules, I'm also a big believer in the Rule of Cool, and want the players to feel good about the games they're playing in. I love a good RP session, and will often employ voices and/or a voice changer to give each NPC or BBEG a unique sound. I'll also work with you to bring your character to life by incorporating elements of your backstory into the larger adventure/campaign.

Nick is a great Dm! Hes playing with us all the critical and nat 1's he's feeling them too. He's a great story teller with a ood imagination. His blend of dnd rules and resourced material from other authors is refreshing. He's got a good imagination and sets scenes very well. If you're looking for a game he's your guy.

I just finished a long campaign with Nick at the helm. He was fantastic! He is a great storyteller and keeps the game flowing. I would play a game with Nick any time it is possible and so should you!

Nick is one of the best GMs I've had the pleasure of playing with. He does a great job of making everyone welcome and including aspects of players' character backstories into the campaign. In addition, he adds a lot of cool magic items that helps add to the strategy and creativity of the campaign. On top of that, he's a great storyteller. I look forward to doing more campaigns with this GM! :)

Nick knows roll20 and D&D very well so you can get into the story without trouble from system or platform.

Nick did a wonderful job giving us a fun experience. Very helpful with the mechanics of Roll20 and kept the game running smoothly. It was a delightful afternoon of dungeon delving that brought a group of strangers together for heroic deeds. Highly recommend our GM Nick!

Nick was super helpful in explaining the rules, expertly set the scene with maps and fitting music, and brilliantly roleplayed each NPC. Every character had a unique personality and voice, allowing me to feel fully immersed in the game.
