Steam Shogun: A Clockwork Samurai Setting

If you are looking for the perfect blend of creativity, humor, and challenge in your RPG, then this GM has it all. His dynamic storytelling brings unique places and characters to life, while allowing players to incorporate their own thoughts and ideas. The voices he gives to the NPCs are as unique as the character themselves. You can’t help but fall in love with some of them. Beginners and experienced players will not feel left out. Since this GM is experienced in more than one RPG, you never feel like you are playing the same game over and over again. He uses the rules for the specific RPG you are playing but allows for some flexibility if your idea fits and helps the storyline move forward. You always want to expect the unexpected but know that you will have ridiculous fun during it. Imagine you are gathered around a table where everyone is laughing and strategizing about how to outsmart a dragon, or your team is racing against the clock to save a character. This GM’s games are one of those where you forget about everything else because you are just enjoying the moment with the other players. Even after the game ends, you will find yourself referencing certain moments for months. It becomes part of your group’s story that you’ll look back on and laugh about for years.

I've been playing with Chance as my DM for several years now, and I can say without a doubt, he is one the best DMs I have had the pleasure of playing at their tables. He has very well thought out campaigns and really immerses you in the game with his creative storytelling. His ability to connect with his players he truly a gift. He allows the story to develop with his players. He has a knack for tying the players backstory into each of his campaigns, this provides the realism for each player. His campaigns are respectful, well thought out, and has patience for all players no matter their level of experience. Each campaign session, there has always been memorable characters, laughter with friends (new and old), learning new facets of the game, and challenging situations to learn how to work through as an adventuring party to overcome. Never a dull moment at this DMs table!! I would highly recommend him as your next DM; you will be amazed.

Chance is a very beginner-friendly and overall joy of a GM to play with! Through quite a few campaigns and campaign groups, I've had the lovely experience of playing through many of his homebrewed stories, as well as being led through a handful of other tabletop rulesets that I had never tried before. Each time, he was a kind and gentle teacher, and always knew how to make everyone at the table incredibly comfortable and caught up on any mechanics or things unique to each TTRPG and ruleset used. We all had a lot of laughs, and his GMing was a very large part of why I enjoy playing TTRPGs as much as I do now.

Chance is a very very safe DM and I have preferred having him as my DM for over five campaigns stretching the span of quite a few years. I have also had him host at my local Game Club for a few times, as well as having him host at our college campus for students. He is incredibly inclusive, makes sure that consent is ALWAYS first and considered, and tells wonderful stories. He makes sure to pull all the stops, making the roleplaying, battle, and gameplay feel interesting and interactive for all players. He is able to bring players of all different styles and experiences together for an amazing adventure, and I can't recommend him enough. If you are looking for someone to be kind and understanding, while also keeping up the interactivity of your group, I'd point to Chance over and over.

I've been playing with Chance as my GM for several months now, and I can safely say that he has made me like DnD again. I had several bad experiences at other tables that turned me away from DnD and tabletop as a whole, which made me reluctant to start playing again, but Chance and the players have entirely rewritten those experiences. Chance is incredibly kind, caring, and perceptive with his players and their needs. He does everything he can to foster a safe and welcoming space within the world that he's created. A world that, in my personal opinion, is amazing. He's an amazing storyteller with immersive voices, visceral descriptions of surroundings and actions, and an urge to pull the players directly into the world, enmeshing them beautifully with the storyline. Every player gets their spotlight and every voice is heard. Player agency is well respected, and he has a good balance between humor/levity and dark, nitty gritty themes. Genuinely, I don't think there's enough praises I could sing here. Highly recommended.
