About me
Greetings! Here at Nym's Adventures, we believe in a player-oriented approach to pay-to-play tabletop gaming. We're here to bring your stories to the forefront of the adventures published by Wizards of the Coast. We use the modules as a backbone to craft customized sessions for your characters. I began running online games in Summer 2019 after playing with several game masters who didn't seem to care what the players were trying to say with their characters or with their choices. I decided to give the community the kind of attention and enthusiasm I wanted to see in a game master. I've been trying to embody that ideal ever since.
GM Style
I believe in a player-oriented approach. Session 00 and Character Creation are very involved so we start the campaign with a good idea of who we are and what we want. I encourage roleplay among the party members and with NPC's. I specialize in voices and crafting encounters that connect the characters to the world of the story. That's not to say we ignore combat and exploration, but for the most part those things are covered by the module and are directly influenced by the choices we make the rest of the time. I try my best not to say no unless the request is clearly against the rules. Instead if an idea doesn't work in the current framework, I try to come up with an alternative with the player(s) that suits the table as a whole.

Nym goes out of his way to make sure you get to play characters you'll enjoy, following stories that become more and more personal as you go along. Focused on making the tools secondary and the Gameplay & RP to the forefront, he does a lot of pre-setup and coaching so that everyone can focus on the game rather than how to play.

I can not recommend Nym enough. He creates a fun and lively atmosphere to play in and is fantastic at supporting his players. Playing with Nym is the highlight of my week.

GM Nym has it all in his name... Nym's a great GM!! I have completed two full WOTC campaigns and am now in my third campaign - a custom world where the players have a lot of agency to determine what happens next. I keep coming back because the games have an engaging storyline, heroic encounters, and we have fun! In game Nym strikes a great balance of battles, exploration, and role playing -- allowing the players to tilt the balance one direction or the other, but never letting it get way out of balance.

Nym is a fantastic DM. He's extremely knowledgeable about game rules and is more than willing to work with new or experienced players on anything, whether RAW or custom elements. He also goes above and beyond by customizing the core adventure modules to make each playthrough unique and challenging. Always have a great time in our sessions!
