“The best imagination cardio out there!”
“10/10 will play again!”
— Bea B., Age 10 / Level 8 Human Moon Druid (Dungeons & Dragons)
"My favorite part is when I find a really clever way to get around an obstacle or beat an enemy, making the way I beat them as dramatic and clever as possible. It’s REALLY cool!”
— Jack S., Age 10 / Level 8 Blue Dragonborn Thief (Dungeons & Dragons)
“Nick's Saturday game sessions are a total hit with our 10 year old daughter. I really didn’t think she was going to be into it like this. Best imagination cardio out there!”
— Rasmus B., Client
"Nick is awesome at making space for the kids to be who they are. He honestly celebrates each of their styles and allows them to explore their characters and learn about themselves. This D&D game has been a real highlight of quarantine for Jack! "
— Abigail W., Client
“Nick’s campaigns make the invisible visible. His work is remarkably adaptable.”
— Peter S., Client
“The kids didn’t know what to expect when they met with Nick for the first time, but afterwards I couldn’t believe they’d been playing D&D for two hours! Now they eagerly await their weekly adventures with him, recounting past calamities that they overcame and making plans for what comes next.”
-Lakshman A., Client
"Nick has an uncanny ability to draw you into the game and immerse you in the world. As a beginner, Nick made me feel empowered and confident whenever it was my turn. Even though we played in a large group consisting of players of different ages, Nick drove the game forward in a way in which everyone was enjoying themselves and on the edge of their seat. Whether you are new to the game or an experienced D&D player, Nick is a charismatic GM that will stop at nothing to make sure that you're having a great time."
-Andrew S., Player / Level 2 Gnome Rogue (Dungeons & Dragons)
“I have been playing Nick’s games for years. The reason for this length of time comes down to quality of the experience. I had been playing Table Top RPGs for a few years before playing with Nick but he brings so many elements that enhance the overall feeling of adventure. He brings a cinematic quality of storytelling that makes you feel immersed in the story while allowing you space and agency to drive the narrative through your own character choices and ideas. As a GM myself it is refreshing to be in the hands of someone so passionate and knowledgeable. I’d be a PC in his sesh any day.”
— Connor D., Player & GM / Level 7 Human Jedi (Star Wars: Saga)
“Seven years ago a group of friends needed a healer for the D&D game they’d just started so they recruited me. When I decided to play a troublesome ranger instead, our DM Nick supported me every step of the way in my quest to create drama and stir shit.”
”Nick is the kind of DM who has a knack for adjusting based on the whims and wants of his players while keeping them invested. Like a parent who gives their kids flinstone vitamins or “potato pays” them with French fries, he finds clever ways to give people things he knows will excite them. For example: My character (ok, me) had a bad habit of taking things off track but instead of shutting her (ok, me) down, he gave her a creepy little doll that would give her subtle hints and suggestions or had her giant flying wolf dog nudge her in some way. He always finds ways to delve into characters stories and give them a chance to shine and dig into their backstory while still involving the group—whether that’s a run in with a character’s ex, waking up in a dream world to play other characters in a story, or having to work together to outsmart someone’s evil father.”
”He weaves story lines that expertly integrate players’ backstories, giving them a sense of agency over their adventures, while still guiding them through an expertly crafted journey that is somehow still flexible and ever-changing.
Of course, that kind of flexibility requires a lot of patience, which Nick has. Combined with intuition and a sharp sense of humor, it makes for games that are meaningful, fun, and full of all kinds of adventures. He changes it up with all sorts of play, from battles to skill challenges to role playing, so the min-maxers can get their fix as much as those who are more story-oriented.
Even better, Nick’s background as a performer makes his performances of different NPCs a highlight of any game.”
-Lia T., Player / Level 16 Elf Werewolf Ranger (Dungeons & Dragons)
"Nick brings to life impossible worlds with delightful power, walking that thin line between system and story where tabletop gaming thrives. He's dedicated, inventive, and a pleasure to play with."
— Tim D., Player / Firefighting Mythos Investigator (Call of Cthulhu)
“Nick is a gifted storyteller and roleplay actor. His acting delivery and complex knowledge of story transports me to new and fantastical
places, and I feel encouraged to explore. He has a deep knowledge of story, and seamlessly weaves the players’ actions into an exciting, cathartic roleplaying experience.”
“Nick was the GM for my first roleplaying experience, and he was an incredible teacher. He calmed my nerves, thoroughly answered all of my
questions, and encouraged me to try things and speak up. Thanks to him, roleplaying games have become a favorite hobby and form of expression. It’s the perfect outlet in the days of social
distancing.”
“I can’t recommend Nick enough!”
— Andrea G., Player / Antiques Smuggling Mythos Investigator (Call of Cthulhu)
“Nick Jordan introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons, which has become an interest of mine that fulfills me creatively and socially. Nick fashions wonderfully rich worlds, with engaging mysteries, emotional scenes, and well realized characters. Nick takes the time to listen to his players and weave their ideas into his game, creating moments that resonate.”
“The moment that confirmed both the potential of the game to me and Nick's absolute mastery of said game was when my eyes were filled with tears as he played the part of my character's surrogate father, now dying in my arms. We had a bad internet connection and every other word was cutting out, but he pulled every ounce of emotion out of me. In that moment, I was living a tragedy that was wholly conjecture, but completely real to me, and it will live with me forever. Thanks to Nick.”
-Case A., Player / Level 12 Half-Orc Paladin of Heironeous (Dungeons & Dragons)
