About me
Are you ready to experience an unforgettable adventure with amazing characters and stories? Look no further! I'm a former athlete and closet-nerd who just-so loves to play Dungeons & Dragons, and now I'm here to share the joy with you! With over 6 years of experience under my belt, I'm sure to make your experience with D&D a special and memorable one. I stay up to date on the current rules and mechanics of the game so that we can all enjoy a similar experience. I take strides to organize every campaign and session so that everything runs smoothly, there's little worse than a DM that isn't prepared! But when things do come up, I work with these preparations to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to different issues. I greatly enjoy diving into character backstories and finding what I can pull out and use within the campaign narrative, always listening to my players' ideas and finding out ways to incorporate them into the game. We all want to enjoy a captivating story with engaging characters and exciting plot points after all! I have hosted a multitude of games online for my friends and for new people who are eager to join in on the fun. I've crafted full adventures, campaigns, and even one-shots that are sure to keep you enthralled for hours. I even took a shot at developing an MMO Dungeon experience variation of 5e that was an absolute blast! But what truly makes me stand out is my passion for this game and my commitment to making players feel powerful and having a blast. It is only after standing triumphant over the most formidable foes that we may feel the very best this game has to offer. You can check out my YouTube and Twitch streams, as well as join my Discord server, to see just how I run things. So what are you waiting for? Send me a message and let's get started on your own unforgettable adventure!
GM Style
I love creating the truest feelings of player triumph through overcoming challenges only real heroes should even brave. I have developed and implement mechanical systems that abstract the very essence of these challenges in ways that are both fun and interactive to the player, helping to enliven the specific fantasies for which they come to the table to play. Combat is a huge part of any game, one that I greatly enjoy, but player enjoyment is also supported by roleplay opportunities both in acting in-character as well as supporting systems for learning about different creatures, harvesting materials, creating items, etc. I believe it is the PLAYERS and their characters that drive a narrative forward, not the GM. I call my style "Reactive DMing", where I prepare everything but am merely reacting to the decisions and flow decided by the PLAYERS. My games evolve around the party and, through their choices, determine the sequence of events. So let me know what you want to play and what you want to do in game! Let’s see what we can come up with together to achieve just that!

Nomad takes his time to make sure you are prepared when making a character, is open to ideas about character creation, and always willing to help with questions about mechanics in game for users not familiar with the software used to play the games. He is able to adapt to unplanned scenarios quickly that are brought up by players looking to explore the game and world.

The overall ambience of the game was incredible, sound, npc-voice, and music were top notch. My first session which I was only allowed to sit in on due to a lengthy onboarding process which was needed before anyone plays was required. During this session (4 Hours) I was astounded to see that about 75 percent of the session was the DM doing voice overs for a number of NPC's. Most of the dialog was between the DM and one other player. Everyone else had minimal interaction. There were zero encounters where the PC's actually engaged in a initiatve order. Throught-out the whole of the evening there were less than 10 to 12 total dice rolls. Further, I spent the next week trying to be available for the DM to do the onboarding and character gen to no avail. Twice he responded to me with escuses such as "I forgot I was working that day" and "we will have to do it at another time, to eventually saying that it would all be done by text. Well, not even that happened after a full week. I would not recommend this DM to anyone despite that fact his players greeted me with ambition, and told me how outgoing the DM was. I never saw it. The Discord server was very difficult as well, was not really user friendly for a new player.

Nomad is knowledgeble, kind, funny, and a serious DM! He will provide you all the tools you need to roleplay your next adventure! When I first joined an online game, I was highly skeptical or paying for an experience I often found for free. However! This campaign with Nomad has made me realize that a top-teir adventure experience is worth your weight in gold peices! Find out for yourself!

I am currently playing in 2 games with Nomad. They always know how to set the mood for each game. Music, images of what we are looking at, and details maps. Before every game he does a wonderful narrator recap of last session & light roleplay to get everyone warmed up. In both games he has allowed creative freedoms, with the knowledge of game rules.

He tries his best to keep everyone engaged with the game. I also very much enjoy his dedication to character backstories. Helps make the game feel more inclusive to the characters.
