Hire Nerd Immersion as Your Professional Dungeon Master
Your group. Your adventure. I'll handle the rest.
Private Dungeons & Dragons adventures, ongoing campaigns, birthdays, family games, corporate events, and special occasions led by Ted Sikora, creator of Nerd Immersion.
Whether everyone at your table has been playing for twenty years or nobody knows a d20 from a d12, I'll build an experience around your group and make it easy to start playing.
Your Next Adventure Starts Here
You don’t need to spend weeks learning rules, building encounters, preparing maps, or figuring out who’s going to sit behind the Dungeon Master screen.
That’s my job.
I’ll work with you to create the kind of Dungeons & Dragons experience your group wants—heroic fantasy, ridiculous comedy, mystery, exploration, tactical combat, roleplay, or some combination of all of them.
For new players, I can make getting started as easy as sitting down, choosing a character, and rolling some dice. For experienced groups, we can build something specifically around the kind of game you already love.
You bring the players. I’ll bring the adventure.
Choose Your Adventure
Most adventures run 3–4 hours and are designed for up to 6 players.
Ted provides pre-generated characters, plus miniatures, battle terrain, dice, music and sound effects, and everything else needed for an epic day of gaming!
Have a smaller party, a larger group, or something unusual in mind? Ask! I’m happy to see what we can make work.
Private One-Shots
Want to play D&D without committing to an entire campaign?
Get your group together for a complete adventure designed to play out in a single session. Perfect for game nights, groups of friends, special occasions, or finally convincing everyone to try D&D.
Starting at $500 in person / $375 online
Ongoing Private Campaigns
Want the story to continue?
I’ll run an ongoing campaign exclusively for your group, giving your characters, relationships, villains, victories, and terrible decisions time to develop over weeks, months, or considerably longer.
Weekly, biweekly, and monthly games are available depending on scheduling.
Ongoing campaigns begin with a 4-session minimum, giving us enough time to establish the party, story, and campaign direction.
Starting at $400 per in-person session / $300 online
Birthdays & Family Adventures
Give someone an adventure instead of another thing.
I can build games specifically for children, teens, adults, families, or mixed-experience groups. Adventures can be adjusted for age, experience, session length, and the interests of the guest of honor.
No previous D&D experience is required.
Starting at $500
Corporate & Team Events
Skip the trust falls.
Dungeons & Dragons naturally gets people communicating, problem-solving, improvising, and working toward a common goal—all while trying to survive whatever I put in front of them.
Great for company outings, retreats, team-building events, conventions, and office celebrations.
Corporate experiences starting at $750
I’ll Handle the Dungeon Master Stuff
Built for Your Group
Tone, difficulty, characters, encounters, and story shaped around the players at your table.
Prepared & Ready to Play
I handle the adventure, NPCs, rules, pacing, maps, encounters, and the moving pieces behind the screen.
Beginners Welcome
No rulebooks or previous experience required. For appropriate games, I can provide characters, dice, miniatures, maps, and everything needed to get started.
You bring the players. I’ll bring the adventure.
Meet Your Dungeon Master
Hi, I’m Ted.
I’m the creator of Nerd Immersion and a longtime Dungeon Master, tabletop creator, and published TTRPG designer.
Over more than two decades behind the screen, I’ve run long-form campaigns, one-shots, livestreamed games, convention adventures, and games for players ranging from complete beginners to longtime D&D veterans. More than 1,000 hours of my games have been recorded and published online through Nerd Immersion and Nerd Immersion Plays — and that’s only the games that made it on camera.
My goal at the table is simple: give every player room to make meaningful choices, create memorable moments, and walk away excited to find out what happens next.
I love rules and mechanics, but they’re tools—not the point of the game.
Everyone at the table should leave with a story they want to tell someone else.
