No Gods, No Light, No Mercy

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

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!!!

Chris is inclusive in his approach, and is very friendly to new players, or players new to a virtual play environment. He has unique voices for his NPCs, uses music and visuals well to set the mood, and finds interesting ways to bring players together as a team even if they don’t know each other before starting. His games also have a really great balance of role playing and combat.

I played in a Vampire: The Masquerade one-shot that Chris ran. As someone who had limited familiarity with VTM table-top and no familiarity with Alchemy RPG, Chris was fantastic at explaining the rules and patient as I navigated the platform. He was a great storyteller and did a great job at using Alchemy to see the mood and stage. Part of that was also that he played a variety of NPCs well, which also added to immersion. Chris was good at moving the session along smoothly without the feeling of being rushed. He is a great storyteller I would recommend Chris for players of all levels.

Chris is an amazing GM!!! He answers question fairly, openly, and allows the sessions to be fun to role play. He goes above and beyond to add more to the game that truly make you immerse into the universe that you forget that you are playing a game. I highly recommend him for anybody, new or veteran players.

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.
