Had a great time playing with Chris. I signed up for one of his games literally 45 mins before it started and he was great and rolling with the punches so to speak. Great use of music, and effects to the game feel immersive. Will definitely be playing with him again.

Have only had 1 session with Chris and I can already tell that he is a great GM! He creates an inclusive and enriching experience for players and is always there if you have any issues at all. Always attentive in answering questions and trying to create a space where everyone is involved and taken care of. Would highly recommend trying one of his campaigns regardless of if you're a new or seasoned player.

Just had session 0 at Chris's table and it went so well! He has a really good grasp of the tools he uses to dm and explains how to use them clearly and kindly. I'm looking forward to more sessions.

While I only had one session with Chris at the moment, the session in question was one of the most fun sessions I have had in a while. Not only did he make me feel welcomed, but he also encouraged me to be myself. Heavily recommend any new players to play in Chris' campaign!

Had a blast playing with DM Chris and it was only my first session with him, so I am so looking forward to more games to come. I really enjoy RP and DM Chris was really cool about not only interweaving our backstories into the story but giving us background and rumors that our characters would know and allowing us to work them into our characters backgrounds and using them to interact with others and bring the group together at session 0. Often session 0's can be awkward with meeting your group for the first time, but the way DM Chris set the scene and allowed us all to be creative and our RP was great fun. DM Chris's table was a lot of fun and one of the best session 0s I have been in. I love our group and can't wait to see how all of our characters grow in different ways as our campaign moves forward. DM Chris was very patient in explaining how to use the VTT and even took some time after session to help me with my token and other VTT stuff. All in all it was a great experience, and I can't wait for next session to adventure with my group. I would definitely recommend DM Chris.

How will character creation work
◆ Make a 1st-level player character (PC) by either Standard Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) or 27 Point Buy. ◆ Select your PC's starting equipment for your class (no rolling for starting gold). ◆ Level your PC to 1st level using static class Hit Points (No rolling for Hit Points). ◆ At 1st level, your character starts with your starting equipment (no rolling for gold). ◆ Feats and multiclassing are allowed. ◆ Only curated official Dungeons and Dragons 5e hardcover content are permitted. ◆ Your character's back story should fit handwritten on one side of a 3”x5” index card. ◆ I'm pretty fair in character creation, but I reserve the right to approve/decline player characters anytime.
