About me
As a creative writer I spent most of my life writing stories and building worlds where I could get lost for days. When I found TTRPGs 7 years ago it changed my life as I discovered a new way to breathe life into those worlds and share experiences I could have never had just on my own. I love the liberating feeling of having intricate adventures for the characters to explore and craft wonderful tales where players get to feel like they made their mark. My goal is to give others a great experience that will leave a positive impact in their life in the same way this creative outlet has done for me. I provide a safe space for everyone to explore serious themes while also being able to pull back and have a good laugh, ensuring the tension is only in the story and not with the players. Will you brave adventurer honor me by heeding the call to adventure?
GM Style
You know the kind of games where you have NPCs that you love so much you just have to bring them along for the adventure? Or so rage inducing that you start making memes about how stupid they are? Well, if that peaks your interest, you'll find you're in the right place! I am storyteller first and rules keeper second. As long as what you want to do make sense, we'll find a way to make it work. I also encourage witty and creative thinking in situations, including combat. It's always more fun to outsmart the DM in fun interesting ways rather thing hit think till thing stops moving. I also believe every fight should mean something just as all choices, even the small ones do. This is our story, so everyone should have a hand in making it an unforgettable experience!

After years of surviving pandemic and toddlers my wife and I were looking for a way to have a date night without leaving the house. That's how we found Nico. We've been playing every Thursday night since and loving every minute of it. Super grateful for Nico's easy-going yet professional style. We've met some great people along the way and had a lot of fun. Definitely recommend!

I’ve known Niko for years. He's a really awesome person and a just as awesome GM. Super patient and easy to talk to. He's Really great to bounce ideas off of and makes room for a lot of creativity in his sessions. Niko does such an amazing job making each session fun and entertaining that his sessions are truly the highlight of my week.

If I could click every tag I would, the music selection and the storytelling are perfect for an immersed experience. The way the story is told really draws you in, and a friendly inclusive experience with players and DM is always guaranteed. :) 100000000/10
