About me
Hello! I'm Kairos and I'm a Christian Game Master. I've been running games since 2020. Including in person, online, and a hybrid of each. I've ran everything from one-shots to yearlong campaigns, engaging dozens of players in several groups. When you sit down to play in one of my games, you will be immersed into another world, share in an edifying story and do so in good company. Soli Deo Gloria -GM Kairos of Kairos Narratives

What Kairos Narratives brings to the table
Game Management I prioritize storytelling in my games. Therefore, this will be a rules light session. By nature of this session being a one-shot, you can expect narrative rich content and deliberate pacing in order to ensure you get the most out of your time spent with me. Character Creation/Management Characters will be level 5. DnD Beyond will be used for character creation. I will host the campaign on that site and provide all of the sourcebooks necessary for this adventure. Visual I will be using Talespire as a visual aid, and I will provide seats to the application so that players can use the application as well. Immersive Audio I will be using Talespire as an audio aid. Communication Discord will be used to communicate with each other.
