About me

Hello everyone! My name is Nick and I've been playing TTRPGs since 2015. I started as a beginner with D&D 5th Edition and quickly became a "forever" DM for my friends. I love playing and learning new TTRPGS. Over the past few years I've especially enjoyed 5e D&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green. I have many more on my list that I'm excited to try. Feel free to reach out it you have any questions!

GM Style

I'm friendly and open-minded. I love introducing others to the hobby and sharing in a fantastic experience. I try to balance gameplay with equal parts combat and roleplay, but am flexible depending on the group. I also try to maximize player character experience by tying backstories and player character lore into the games. Generally speaking, story is everything but intense dungeon crawls have a special place in my heart. I also make myself available outside of games for discussion on anything you might need. I like to follow rules as written, but the rule of cool is also super important. I feel like it is the GM's role to narrate a world in which all of the players can have fun and express themselves however they see fit (within reason, obviously). Everyone is welcome at my table. I'd love to run your next one-shot, campaign, or custom game and I'm also ready to dive into a new system.

I've had the pleasure of playing DnD with Nick as my DM for over two years. His patience and helpfulness have been invaluable, especially as I was new to DnD when I started. What I love most about Nick is his encouragement of creative narratives for our characters, allowing us to bring our unique ideas to life. This has made our campaigns so much fun and memorable.

Nick gives players freedom to try things, fills in the gaps of time, story, rules, understanding, and possibility, then adds an element of inspired humor as a treat.
