About me

Ive been playing dnd for 8 years now and dming for 5. During that time, ive fallen in love with world building, aswell as ttrpgs as a whole! I love world building with ttrpgs in mind and have expansive fleshed out worlds i bring to my campaigns, aswell as a love for roleplay and creating a story with the players. Im a very narrative descriptive dm, and love helping players flesh out there characters to be a part of the world there in. Im 17 and trans, and accepting of all players from diffrent outlooks of life, aswell as ttrpg experience. Ive been dming for my family who've played since 1st edition for about 4 years now, aswell as teaching many many friends how to play both 3.5, and 5th edition. Lastly im just stoked to be able to meet new players and create stories with you if you choose to play any of my campaigns :)

GM Style

roleplay is my most beloved part of ttrpgs and although i do a good mix of combat and roleplay, roleplay is almost always my main focus. Im totally cool with rules bending for cool moments (within reason lol) and have been using voices for npcs to create a more narrative experience for about 3 years now. I love having players backstory and choices lead the plot, aswell as helping shape the world around them.

I've really enjoyed the sessions I've played with Nikki. Her campaigns do a great job of tying in the backstories of the players, and she always gives a party freedom of playstyle and storyline. Will definitely be playing more sessions!

Have had many a great campaign with Nikki! Awesome and unique storylines, in depth folklore knowledge mixed with her ability to build new and interesting NPC characters that play along side her knowledge of folklore make for very entertaining gameplay. Steampunk settings mixed with the Dark Old Ones in her lovecrast campaings is a great example of the awesome campaign styles this DM bri gs to the table! Nikki Rocks!!!

Im rather new to DND but Nikki took me under her wing effortlessly. She taught me how to build a character, what things mean, how the rules work ..heck even the dice and when/how to use them. She is a great teacher who has shown me great patience. I really like her creative storytelling, and how included I feel every time I play. She is great with all levels of players too, like I once watched her playing with who I would consider an OG player and she kept up with everything he threw her way and is a truly experienced DM. Shes extremely knowledgeable of rules and frequently can be found reading DND rule books and exploring ideas to keep her campaigns fun and full of surprises. In my opinion, she would be a great DM for anyone looking to have a great time playing a great game.

Ive watched Nikki grow into a great DM over the years. Not only is she creative with a great storytelling capability, but she also takes the time to thoroughly understand characters. She frequently studies rule books to make sure game play is fair and is committed to providing a good individual and group experience for people within her campaigns. She listens to everyone and has a fun personality to interact with as a DM. I enjoy playing in her campaigns and highly recommend anyone give her a shot at being their DM.
