About Nico

Greetings, Adventurer! I am Nico Amparo! 🎲I have been playing tabletop games since I was 11 years old. Now at the age of 23 that means I have been playing games for half my entire life span. I started playing with 4e D&D with the free rpg day adventure Khybers Harvest. Ever since I have been hooked to ttrpgs and haven't put down the dice since! 🧙‍♂️I have been telling stories as long as I could talk. Even if I hadn't found my love for TTRPG's, I am certain that I would still be telling stories in some capacity whether it be screenplays, novels, etc.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

I would bring OSE for its quick combat and ease of homebrew. My #2 system would definitely have to be Basic Roleplaying as its able to create just about any campaign you can think of with its diverse skill system! And #3 would have to be Mothership as I'm a big fan of space horror!

My favorite books are

The Princess Bride - Absolute PEAK. The story that drew me into the fantasy genre as a whole.

My favorite system of all Time is

Mothership - From the aesthetic to how well the game flows to tell a narrative horror story, I don't think I've experienced anything like it to date!

How Nico runs games

🔮My first priority as a GM is to make sure that everyone has fun and is immersed within the game. I believe that the beauty of TTRPG's is the ability it has to inspire and unite people from all walks of life. It sets the stage for us all to display some of the most meaningful parts of ourselves and tell a compelling story together. ⚔️Tactical Combat. One thing I love a lot is tactical gameplay with meaningful choices! I believe that combat is as important as story when it comes to my games because it helps remind players of the stakes. I love being able to think from the mindset of the monsters and make decisions that feel realistic. ✨Roleplay. I love roleplaying the most when it comes to my games as I get to embody a wide array of roles and characters. The part of the puzzle I enjoy most when running a game for players is responding to their actions in a way that feels authentic. Not to mention I get to practice my voice acting. ⚡High Energy! No matter the game or no matter the tone, I am always enthusiastic to play and participate in my favorite activity in the whole world.

I deal with rules issues by...

keeping the game moving if it's something minor but for more in-depth rules that are important I tend to find them rather quickly. If it is a rules dispute, we figure out what works best for the table

I once ran a session...

For 16 hours straight during a 3-day marathon in order to finish a long-term arc for one of my players. It was super exciting and so much time passed without us even noticing. One of my favorite memories till this day from playing D&D.

My games focus on...

Story and player agency above all else

Nico's ideal table

My table is for those who enjoy cinematic story telling as well as collaborative storytelling. In my games anything goes as long as it makes sense for the story with players being allowed to add story details of their own.
