Nick

Nick is the Dungeon Master and worldbuilder for the campaign. The setting of Eldurae is his homebrew, and he has run every session of the recorded run (s2-current). All non-player voices in the corpus (Sevryn, The Black Mask, The Broker, Mharos, Bubba Walker, the Aurelian patrol commanders, the Hollow Guardians, and several hundred others) are his.

Characters played

• DM (s2-current): runs the world of Eldurae and voices every NPC. Homebrew authorship includes the Six Powers cosmology, the Path of Bloodfury subclass for Hugo (built from Dylan’s idea, ^[1]), the Project Veilbreak backstory, and the Mharos parasite mechanic.

At the table

Nick’s DM cadence is vivid setting prose, scene-cuts, and a deep NPC voice library. He picks the recap-doer at the start of each session by die roll (“Let’s see. That would be a four, so Chris! Chris!”, ^[2]). He occasionally self-corrects in real time when an outcome lands harder than he intended, most visibly at ^[3], after killing Ruin: “Oh, that’s not what I wanted.”

The DM voices that recur most often are Sevryn (telepathic mentor: “Sevryn telling you everything is happening the way it’s supposed to”, ^[4]), The Black Mask (silky tempter: “Right! of course it is. of course. of course.”, ^[5]), The Broker (vessel-of-information cadence), Mharos (ominous and hungry), and the childlike Cousin-Itt-flavoured Bubba Walker.
