About me
Hey y'all, I'm Chris. I'm a late 30-something Game Master from and currently living on the edge of Hillbilly Nation in the state of Kentucky. For a little north of the past 20 years I've usually been actively running, or thinking about running, some sort of tabletop roleplaying game. If you're at my table, I want you to feel like you can relax, have a good time, and get engaged in creating a fun experience that makes your 3-ish hours with me a highlight of your week. Everything else is just set dressing.

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.

Safety
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.
