About me
I've been DMing since my start with a mentality of war being 90% preparation and 10% execution, for my in-person games I've made all players a character binder with their characters race, class, subclass, multiclass, background as well as rules for combat, magic and such. I want to know who your characters are so I know how best to show off what you as player can do, while trying to kill you. If you're a blindsight fighter then I will cover the area in darkness, so you guide your party out. Are you the fastest boy in the land as a tabaxi monk? Then I will put a chase scene in there to show off how fast you can go to pursue some criminal through the city. I'm a big fan of homebrews and the rule of cool. I've been building a homebrew world for years and getting input from my players and the community has been great; what's better is seeing them react and reshape a town or belief as they pass through. My players adding to my world has been one of the best perks of running these games.

Creating your character
We will have a session 0 for character creation, we will discuss backstories and what you have been doing in this town as well. You could a town leader or just as easily their apprentice, learning the trade from your respective master. We will have a town map where you can all pick your home as well, and what you might have stored there.

What Chris brings to the table
My best efforts to shake you down until I have everything, I want from you. Maybe I'll have to make an example out of you, so the rest of the village get in line.
