About the adventure
I’m obsessed with vampires, werewolves, zombies, and all things Gothic horror, and I’ve channeled that passion into a Dungeons & Dragons campaign full of dark atmosphere. You’ll explore haunted castles, cursed forests, and shadowy wastelands, all filled with the terror and mystery I love so much. If you’re ready to dive into the darkness with me, this is the campaign for you. Join me for a game that’s welcoming and engaging for everyone, with a darker, more serious tone. This adventure invites you to make decisions that shape your path through a narrative filled with twists and turns. Your choices will matter and shape the outcome of this campaign. We’ll be using a virtual tabletop (VTT), a digital platform that brings the gaming table to life with high-quality maps and tokens. It’s accessible from any computer-based web browser, making it easy for you to jump right in. I’m known for my attention to visual detail, a solid grasp of the rules, and setting the perfect mood, so you can expect an immersive and engaging experience. I'm looking forward to seeing you at my table!!!

About me
"After playing several sessions with Chris, I really love how he is so good at making everyone comfortable regardless of experience level. He makes the game fun, adapts the GM style from combat to role playing based on his players, and really makes an effort to care about his players. I look forward to more gaming with him." -Sean Videos: Using Foundry VTT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PQyMmTRmSs I have over 30 years of experience in TTRPGs, starting as a player in the early 90s and later becoming a GM. My experience has given me a deep understanding of various games, which I use to enhance the games I run. I've played multiple games, including different editions of "Dungeons and Dragons" (2e, 3e, and 5e), "Rifts," "Robotech," "Chivalry & Sorcery," and several versions of "World of Darkness," from "Vampire the Masquerade" to "Vampire v5." Currently, I'm running "Dungeons and Dragons 5e" and "Vampire v5" games. My main approach as a GM is to focus on collaborative storytelling, where players contribute significantly to the narrative. My games are open to everyone, including beginners. I use Discord for communication and Foundry VTT for the game mechanics and visuals, which helps in running the games smoothly and keeping players engaged.
