MUSIC, rpg BOOKS, AND dnd TIPS

Welcome to the official website of Cool Nerd Mark, where geeky vibes fuel a unique mix of musical styles. From hard-hitting rock to quirky pop anthems, every track is a tribute to nerd culture.  This is also the home of Cool Nerd Adventures--D&D games based on the music I write, and I also share my 40 years of DM experience in my Youtube videos!

“Cool Nerd Mark doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously, but the result is gloriously captured alternative rock, post-punk, and power-pop earworms that listeners will take with them.” - Tom HIlton

In D&D, Pathfinder, and other RPGs, rolling a 20 sided die is a big part of the game, and rolling a 1 is the worst kind of failure.

In life, we fail all the time. And its okay. It's part of being human. In fact, if you never fail, you never grow. What's important is that you ttry.

Sometimes we all roll a 1.
