About Me
Hi, my name is Nathan; aka BigTuck. I’m a professional Dungeon Master with over twenty years of experience in the D&D Community. I have a love for homebrew and collaborative story telling and world building.
I love working with my players to create characters that feel important to them. Characters that have a fully flushed out backstory that fits into the setting and has a real impact on the story. This helps to make the tale feel like its been created BY the characters, as it should.

My GM Style
I love Roleplay heavy games, with interesting encounters; whether they be combat, social, or otherwise. I love stimulating environments where player interaction can flourish.
I try my best with character voices; admittedly I am not a voice actor, but I do what I can to keep the table engaged.
My games are mostly High Fantasy, with lots of magic and custom items, feats and whatever else is needed to spark the imagination of my players.
Setting Up
My Session 0’s are always free, and include activities:
-
DM and Player Introductions
-
Rolling of Character Stats and Hit Points
-
Detailed discussions of expectations; including going over the Lines and Veils.
We take a ten minute break about half-way through each session. I also include a fifteen minute “Aftercare” wrap-up at the end to check in with all the players.
The Games
All of my campaigns are designed to start at level 3 and continue as far as level 20, depending on how the story progresses.
Faerie Tale: Shadows Beyond Ravening
This is a High Fantasy, High Magic campaign set in the Faewild! The setting is during a year-long celebration of renewal when magic is at its peak, and artifacts are awakening all over to be discovered. But there is an ancient threat lingering in the shadows moving against these lush, vibrant lands…

Nine Hells: The Devil’s Progeny
This is a Dark Fantasy, Gothic Horror campaign set in the Nine Circles of Hell. The initial setting is a group of characters that have been imprisoned in a special dungeon designed to torture and twist the very soul. Despite all the agonies you have suffered, a celestial voice has been a bastion of cool relief, whispering promises of freedom in your ear. Even if it is just you going crazy, it’s still a nice fantasy.

In Closing
I am a very inclusive Dungeon Master, who takes a personal stance on making sure that every table I run is a safe space for each person present. This community has literally saved my life, and I know how important it is to many of you. Let’s work together to nurture this blessing and see what dreams may come! See you at the table top!
