About me

Welcome, fellow adventurers! I'm a Dungeon Master with over 10,000 hours logged on Roll20 and more than 675 games orchestrated on Startplaying.Games. Since discovering Roll20 in early 2020, I’ve embraced every facet of its platform, mastering functions, macros, and APIs to enhance our adventures. My speciality lies in crafting dynamic and strategic combat that keeps even the most seasoned players on their toes, and fostering deep role-playing moments that add stakes to these battles. Creating an inclusive and respectful table is paramount to me. I strive to ensure that each player feels valued and that their choices significantly impact the world we create together. This focus on consequential narratives and detailed descriptions helps bring our stories to life, making every session unique and memorable. Off the gaming table, I'm a musician and producer who dives deep into the realms of music and fantasy alike. My artistic endeavours, from exploring the cosmos of the Forgotten Realms, to releasing music under my artist name Nicolae, reflect my passion for creativity. Follow my musical journey on Instagram @musicbyNicolae, if you like! I pride myself on being a versatile multitasker, an adept improviser, and a leader at the table. As a full-time professional Dungeon Master, I am committed to bringing the best of my creativity, reliability, and a friendly atmosphere to every game. Ready to roll the dice on an adventure like no other? Join me, and let's create epic stories that resonate long after the session ends!


GM style

Refined GM Style Welcome to a world where every decision shapes the adventure! At my table, Roll20 isn’t just a platform—it’s a gateway to richly immersive experiences that transcend typical gameplay. I harness the power of API scripts and macros to ensure that our sessions are smooth, engaging, and tailored to amplify your enjoyment. Balancing the Pillars of D&D I am dedicated to maintaining a perfect equilibrium among the three foundational pillars of Dungeons & Dragons: combat, roleplay, and exploration. My encounters are thoughtfully designed to reflect both the immediate objectives and the pacing of our campaign, ensuring variety and relevance in each session. Enhancing Combat and Strategy While tactical combat is a thrilling aspect of D&D, I incorporate house rules to add grit and challenge, enhancing the excitement. I equip Player Characters with additional feats, skills, and Ability Score Improvements, preparing them for a campaign that demands cleverness and bravery. For those who relish a robust challenge, I embrace the concept of the "six encounter day," interspersing skill challenges and extended downtime to provide a well-rounded adventure. Tailored Experience and Progression My use of random tables and encounters ensures spontaneity, but the core of my games is always driven by your choices and their consequences. I reward experience points, allowing for organic character growth. New players start with less XP to integrate smoothly, but they still receive access to all the perks acquired by the party, fostering creative and unique character builds that have no problem keeping up, and eventually, being the team player you are, your XP will be on par with those there from the start! Supportive Onboarding New to D&D? No problem! I streamline the onboarding and character creation process, providing you with all the necessary tools, macros, and insights to confidently dive into your new campaign.
