About Nicholas Blaettler aka pimliOprentiss
I have been an avid TTRPG player since 2000 when the hobby was introduced to me. D&D was my first & the system I have the most experience with. I've played many different systems over the years, mostly d20 based. I like to make the story feel unique & personal by using what players provide me with (backstory, role play, decription of their character) to craft an experience that is not soon to be forgotten. I give attention to all players at the table & lean in to what each person likes about the game/their character as much as possible. Last, I like to see the players at the table having fun. Nothing is more rewarding as a DM than when players are eager to attend the next session becasue they are having so much fun at the table. *sheds a single tear* So, please have a seat at my table. Relax your mind & body as we set off on an amazing adventure together!

I became a GM because
I wanted to see what it's like on the other side of the table after playing for about 10 years. And let me tell you, it's awesome!
How Nicholas Blaettler aka pimliOprentiss runs games
I tend to lean into combat & roleplay far more than puzzles. I give all players at the table time to shine. I like seeing the creativity of my players in real time & enjoy being tested by unexpected ideas or actions. I like to see smiling faces & knowing that the players are enjoying themselves. I play by the "honor system" meaning that while I will collect & review character sheets at character creation & check in on abilities, ammo, spell slots, etc. occasionally; I trust players to run their own characters & be truthful about any dice rolls.
