About me
I'm Chris, and I love doing this. I think rules are neat and there to be used and modules are fun and the product of a lot of hard work, but I've always been much more interested in the stories that find their way into being by virtue of creativity and dice coming together in fun and dramatic moments. So come hang out, create a character, and discover a story that we'll end up telling together. *** I sometimes post things on BlueSky. I don't really use any other social media these days: https://bsky.app/profile/christhewicker.bsky.social. **** I'm also available for events and games in the local Lexington, KY area!

What WickerGames brings to the table
I'm bringing a welcoming and encouraging environment where I hope that you'll feel free to try clever ideas and revel in their success, but be willing to sit back and enjoy it when things don't go quite as you planned. I use ambient music, so-so voice acting, and a tactical combat interface to bring the adventure to life.

How WickerGames creates a safe table
Short Version: I expect everyone to behave like adults who have come over to friend's house for dinner. ******** Longer Version: Lines & Veils are welcomed to be discussed before the game begins. Players will also be provided a google form version of the Monte Cooke Consent in Gaming checklist. My personal Lines & Veils are: No sexual assault of any kind will be depicted by the players or the GM. - Explicit sexual or romantic content will be handwaved or treated in a "fade-to-black" manner. - A 10/15-min breaks is taken every 1.5-2.0 hours regardless of total playtime.
