My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be
Ten Candles, Kids on Brooms, and (of course) D&D.
My favorite books are
The Witcher series - Andrzej Sapkowski Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkein
My favorite system of all Time is
Ten Candles. I love how the horror ramps up based on the dice mechanics and collaborating on the storytelling.
How NomadicBard runs games
I offer a fully supported gaming experience with a virtual tabletop (VTT) and a dedicated Discord server for in-character interactions and game discussions. My GM style is heavily roleplay-focused, encouraging players to truly embody their characters and interact with the world around them. Expect rich character-driven storytelling where roleplay takes precedence over most other aspects of the game. Battles and challenges are meaningful and integrated into the story, but the heart of the game is the narrative and your character's development. There’s ambient music, custom maps, and tokens to enhance the atmosphere, and I actively encourage creativity. I lean into the Rule of Cool over strict adherence to rules, so if you have a bold, creative idea, I’m more than happy to see where it goes.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
either Guillermo del Toro or Mike Flanagan.
My favorite trope is...
The Haunted Guide. I like having NPCs who carry knowledge of past sins, forbidden lore, and reluctantly help the heroes while warning them of what’s coming.
Rules are...
meant to be bent for cool moments!
NomadicBard's ideal table
My table is roleplay-focused, atmospheric, and story-driven. Players who enjoy getting into character, exploring moral dilemmas, and building story together will thrive here. The vibe is dark fantasy with gothic horror and mystery, but there’s also humor and warmth between characters. Players who fit well: Collaborative storytellers, people who love dialogue and immersion, and those who enjoy morally complex villains.

My table is not the place for...
rules-lawyering, or hogging the spotlight.
