About me
Hello Adventurers, and welcome to my tavern! My name is Nox and I've been playing TTRPGs since 2016. I have even further experience in games due to my history with board games and card games, such as Magic the Gathering. I'm also a lifelong fan of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, which I use as the foundation for the games I run. In the games I run, I like to keep a good balance between roleplay and combat, and there's never only one answer to the problems I present. And while keeping players immersed in the story is important to me, I also always consider how to make things fun for everyone from first-time questers to the most seasoned adventurer If you've been searching for an easygoing, inclusive, and all-around friendly DM, then please, take a seat at my table.
GM Style
I like to keep a healthy balance between role play and combat, though I'll never try to push my players into any specific direction. I reserve the right to make the occasional call that may break a strictly-written rule, if I determine that it will make a better experience for the players (and makes sense within the world and the story). I wish I could do voices, but alas, I'm terrible at it. Regardless, I always make it clear you know who's talking. My table is LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC friendly. I have a zero tolerance policy for bullying other players in or out of character. If players have discussed a specific dynamic between their characters, go for it, we will never play in a way that makes things "fun" at the expense of someone's experience or feelings.

I played "Monster of the Week" for the first time and Nox was excellent at making sure everyone knew the rules and how interactions worked. I had a great time playing, and it seemed like everyone else did too. Would recommend! I'm looking forward to my next game with him.

Nox is an amazingly creative Gm not only does he put his heart and soul into the mystery but he pulls yours in as well and makes for a great time and a lot of fun would recommend 10/10 to everyone

Great character acting. Each NPC felt like a a real, different person. Even the two frat guys had distinct personalities. He also did very well handling "new" players. First time playing this game, and while I have been playing TTRPGs for over 25 years, it's been probably a few years since I've played. He did a great job keeping us moving and used to the systems. Plus, he's just an A+ dude all around.

Setup, execution and encounters were framed well.

I’ve definitely loved playing with Nox in our campaign thus far. He’s a very patient and responsive DM and is more than willing to assist if players have questions, feedback, or suggestions. He loves to put little silly moments into his games to help players stay engaged…I think I’ve been hit in the face with no less than three birds or bats so far. He’s also extremely LGBTQIA-friendly (I say this as a gay player with a gay dragonborn on a quest to win her love’s hand - firsthand experience!) and will quickly address any issues or concerns that may come up in that regard. He doesn’t tolerate BS, which is really comforting. Something important is that Nox looks for feedback wherever possible so he can improve as a DM, and I think that’s a very important trait to have. Wanting to continuously learn and grow is really important, and I love that he’s so willing to listen. I’d definitely recommend him as a DM for your needs!
