About me
š Hi! Iām Nina, a Chilean Dungeon Master with over 7 years of experience running Dungeons & Dragons 5e. In that time, Iāve crafted countless stories, cities, characters, and worldsāeach tailored to bring excitement, creativity, and memorable moments to the table. Whether youāre brand new to the game or a seasoned adventurer, I aim to create a welcoming space full of thrilling encounters, collaborative storytelling, and laughter. I especially love helping beginners learn the ropes and discover the magic of roleplay. š¬ With me as your DM, you can expect: - A supportive, friendly, and flexible game master - A focus on your goals, character arcs, and fun - A safe and inclusive table for everyone - A sprinkle of silliness, when appropriate! I run games in English or Spanish (Ā”tambiĆ©n hablo espaƱol!), so if you're looking for an adventure in either language, you're in the right place. š² Kindness, camaraderie, and creativity are my guiding stars. Letās roll some dice and tell some amazing stories together!
GM Style
š Roleplaying is where I shine! I love bringing NPCs to life through fun voices, unique tones, and sometimes even accents. I thrive on weaving character backstories into the main plot, tying them all together to make the world feel alive and personal. Iām a big fan of the Rule of Coolāif something sounds awesome and fits within the bounds of game mechanics, Iāll find a way to make it happen. My priority is always that youāre having a great time. If something adds fun and energy to the session, Iām here for it. š§ āļø I enjoy mixing in puzzles, challenges, and combat that keep you thinking and adaptingābut I donāt believe in punishing players or designing battles meant to wipe the party. The goal is tension and excitement, not frustration. š£ And most importantly: I love teaching new players! Whether itās helping you create your character, guiding you through leveling up, or explaining mechanics as they come upāIāll walk you through every step with patience and clarity. Youāll always understand the what, why, and how of your rolls, and Iāll be there with advice when you need it. If you're looking for a GM who blends wholesome storytelling, team collaboration, GM guidance, and a touch of theatrical flairāI'm your gal!

Where do I even begin? Nina is an absolutely fantastic person both in the game setting and out. Being able to play with her in a Play-by-Post setting has been nothing short of amazing. Awesome visual aid? Check āļø. Crazy immersion and creative storytelling? Check āļø. Goes hard to tell the story you want?? Absolutely! If you're looking for a new DM, but are nervous at the quality for the right price? Nina is it, no question about it.
I've played a private duet PbP campaign with Nina, and I can confidently say this is her passion. The amount of prep she has and homework for initial onboarding has blown most of the other games I've seen out of the water. If there was any idea or problem, she made a way to help fufill or solve it. While the campaign was enjoyable, my lifestyle and habits have made it difficult to keep sending replies, so I've decided to step away from the campaign while on good terms. If you decide to join her tables, be prepared for her to cook up what you genuinely wish from a PbP campaign, and enjoy yourself!
From voice acting to to rules expertise, Nina does it all superbly! Here's a few things that stood out for this player who's been around since AD&D. Big treat in how much of a nerdy expert she is in all things roll20. I am talking special effects on maps, incredible lighting, the enemies have health bars that surround their tokens! IN addition, the campaign is organized in such a sweet way that our characters / backstories have been threaded seamlessly into the HotDQ campaign and each other's histories. We've only just had the third session, and I am already personally vested in the outcomes (no spoilers). We also have a real good feel for the area/ setting as though it's a place we've visited in IRL. The immersion here is top notch with maps, lighting, music and the brought-to-life NPCs. The ludonarrative is compellingly participatory, so much so the other PCs and I keep chatting about it all week. Seriously people, this is the closest I've felt to childhood Saturday morning cartoons my whole adult life. And here, we actually get to be the characters! Not just pretend to be them all week with our friends planning what could happen. Now we make it happen. The battles are pretty difficult, and she rolls in front of players so there's no holding back. Be prepared with a secondary character, this is real D&D with high stakes and compelling stories. You'll be fiending for more and more. Luckily she Loves the game so much she just keeps on giving. If you book her, help us make sure she does get enough sleep! :3
