About Nicola

Collaborate with me through sessions and settings to develop your characters, and traverse worlds you'd want to explore twice over! I have been a DM for 10 years between games at home and running weekly online sessions. I have a passion for the group storytelling of D&D and the comradery within. I will be running a variety of tailor made D&D 5e adventures that will be welcoming to new players, and quick to action for experienced players. My games are a safe space where people can enjoy the company of fellow adventurers from all walks of life, in situations hand crafted and home brewed with all the right spices.

I got started GMing...

I had my first table back when I first started my degree. I had a few sessions as a player but as soon knew what was possible I got right into being a GM. Ever since hundreds of stories and thousands of sessions have been the cornerstone of my life.

My favorite shows/movies are

Hope, the unknown, a large interconnected world, and a little bit of magic has been the cornerstone of my nights watching shows. Looking at my list you'll find that I think science is magic. - Interstellar - Star gate - Everything Star Trek - Delicious in dungeon - Beyond Journey's End

When I'm not running games I'm...

Watching videos about lore, playing Final Fantasy, or Magic the Gathering. I enjoy food, and humour the most outside of my hobbies. I always try to keep tables that get players laughing.

How Nicola runs games

As a Dungeon Master, I specialize in sandbox-style settings that cater to a diverse range of players and playstyles. My games in 5e are designed to offer multifaceted sessions where every player can find their niche. Whether you're looking to explore at a leisurely pace, interact with the world in a dozen ways, or dive headfirst into dramatic roleplaying, combat, and social challenges, there’s something for you. I’m an easygoing DM who thrives on improvisation and adapting to the party’s desires, no matter what I’ve prepped. My preference is for characters built using official material, which keeps the focus on being present in the game. However, I’m flexible when it comes to mechanics and flavour to ensure everyone has a great time. Feel free to ask me any questions or just jump in, I’m ready to roll!
