About me
I’m Chemical, a GM with 11 years of experience crafting roleplay-heavy worlds and campaigns. I am used to both homebrewed and licensed content, either as one-shot for initiations/special events (Halloween etc.)/charity (Charity GM @ Don des Dragons 17th edition) or long-term campaigns. My games thrive on: -Dynamic NPCs (Expect voice acting). -Player-driven choices in a living world (Your actions or lackthereof will have consequences). -Inclusivity and diversity (LGBTQ+ friendly, safety tools used). I’m based in France and run games in English or French—let’s build your legend together!"
