About Nikki The Goblin GM
Hi there! It's me, Nikki! I am a 30 year old black/white bisexual that uses She/Her pronouns. I've been running table top games since 2013. I love running games for new and beginning players, helping them learn the system, what they can do and show them how imaginative and exciting TTRPGs can be! It started with a friend wanting to play pathfinder for the first time and he had no one to run for him and his friends. I asked him if he was cool with me running a Disney princess inspired game. The group was enthusiastic about the game idea, and now I had all these punk rock, tatted, pierced guys, playing magical princess in pathfinder. I feel in love with the games and community and never looked back. I mostly run D&D 5E with other systems, like Thirsty Sword Lesbians, For the Queen, Monster Hearts 2, and A Proper Yearning in a Time of Uncertainty, and many more. I'm one of the founders of SlaydiesATL, a streaming group built by and for femme presenting and nonbinary people of color, with most of our streams uploaded on to youtube under SlaydiesATL. I used to run D&D games in person at bars before the pandemic, free drop in oneshots for all experience levels as well as 5 several month to years long campaigns completed under my belt. I use safety tools in all my games, check ins, and after game talks. In my normal day to day, I'm a stay at home mom of two, crocheting while watching bad movies, and enjoying monster romance books. I hope to see you at my table!

How Nikki The Goblin GM runs games
I am a heavy role-play, theater of the mind GM. I prefer building worlds with rich lore and diverse npcs that players can not only interact with to their hearts content, but I encourage players to add to the worId with their characters backstory or making up small shops of npcs to meet at some of the towns they visit. I will happily pull out a wide variety of character voices, but I am no voice actor so some my start slipping into another. I love balancing out roleplay sessions with combat heavy sessions, but I like to give the players reasons for why they're clearing out a cave system or ruined castle. I always do check-ins with players, see how everyone is enjoying the session, what they want to explore and how they want their characters to grow with the world. If players enjoy it, I will have ambient music playing during the game to help set the mood for what ever adventure the players are about to experience.
Featured Prompts
My favorite trope is...
romance tropes! Enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, "I never thought I would find myself fighting next to an elf. How about fighting next to a friend?"
My games focus on...
The narrative of the character's stories that they want to weave into the world. I want your backstories to be connected in some way to the quest your on or to have stake in what could be lost of won at the end of it all.
When it comes to voices
I do a lot of silly voices, but I do try to give each NPC a tone and character to their voice if they are significant to the story.
Nikki The Goblin GM's ideal table
Queer Folks, BIMPOC, and Never played or Beginner players at my table. I want players that see a scenario in front of them and chose the fun, slightly messy option for the story that collaborates with the other players.
