About Nightshade
I’m a U.S. Air Force veteran who discovered the world of TTRPGs 11 years ago thanks to a good friend and I was hooked from the very first session. There’s something truly magical about the limitless storytelling possibilities these games offer, bound only by imagination. What I love most about TTRPGs is the collaborative storytelling: creating unforgettable moments with friends that you’ll talk about for years to come. I’ve been lucky to have an incredible group of friends who encouraged me to try GMing, and I’ve been behind the screen for the past four years now. It’s been an amazing journey getting to craft stories and share in the excitement, laughter, and drama that come from great tabletop adventures. While I spent many years immersed in D&D 5E, I’ve recently fallen in love with Fabula Ultima, a lesser known system that’s captured my imagination in new and exciting ways. Thanks for taking the time to read a bit about me and my passion for this hobby I’m always excited to meet others who love storytelling just as much as I do.

My games focus on...
The player characters. I want to see what bonds they make, the choices, what is important to them. I love seeing how the party bonds together into something special.
Nightshade's ideal table
I love it when my players dig deep into their characters and make them come to life at the table. overtime, me and players begin to feel more like a chosen family and we look forward not only to the game each week but to spending time with one another.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Deep stories. I love telling stories that are tailored to my player characters. I love deep and juicy RP and collabrative story telling. and when all of that comes together, its a beautiful thing and we all end up talking about the stories we tell together for years to come.
I love it when a player
Makes their character feel real. They have depths to their emotions. Many sides and facets that makes their character deep on many levels. If they are invested in their chracter then it makes it easy for me to invest right along with them.
I think min/maxing...
Is okay. I don't mind strong characters. so long as there is a personality to the character and not simply just a stat spread sheet.
