Ciao!
I'm Nicola, a lifelong role-player (but above all a Game Master), CEO, and founder of NEED GAMES! — an Italian publishing house entirely dedicated to RPGs. Our catalog includes titles such as Fabula Ultima, Terror Target Gemini, Cyberpunk Red, Fallout, The One Ring, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, The Witcher, Vampire: The Masquerade 5e, and many more.
I've always believed that we can change the world by telling stories and rolling dice — that’s why my mission is to get as many people as possible to experience the magic of role-playing games.
Over the years, I’ve brought countless people to the table — in person, online, and on Twitch — showing how RPGs are accessible to anyone and easy to dive into.
With Need Games and our mantra RUOLARE. DURO. SEMPRE. (ALWAYS. ROLEPLAY. HARD.), I’ve taken RPGs beyond the hobby: out of people’s homes, into events and conventions, and even into multinational companies as a powerful marketing tool — because role-playing is insanely cool!
In 2023, our first original RPG, Fabula Ultima, won the Gold ENnie Award for Best Game and the Silver ENnie for Product of the Year at Gen Con Indianapolis — the most prestigious awards in the industry.
Outside of RPGs, I’m deeply passionate about manga, anime, and JRPGs, which have shaped me since I was a kid. And I share my everyday life with Ottone, my English bulldog — so much so that sometimes it’s hard to tell us apart.
