About me
"I am a dabbler, but no master of magic!" - Ahghairon Hello adventurer, my name is Chantz! I have been GM-ing for over 3 years for both long-term campaigns and one-shots, in-person and online! Experienced in D&D 5e, 5.5e and Avatar Legends, learning Lancer and Daggerheart. My GM-ing style is player-focused narrative and themes, I meet my players where they are at! My favorite campaign styles: political intrigue, class-conscious conflict, and metaphysical chaos. My favorite settings: traditional medieval & nautical My favorite moods: swashbuckling, exploration, mystery I find myself inspired to build worlds and story hooks based on music. Tell me about your favorite artist or project!

How Chantz creates a safe table
💬 I will monitor Discord direct chats throughout the session if any situations or conversations get out of hand. I will also ensure all character concepts are appropriate before the session. 📜 I will provide a Session 0 introduction to lay down some foundational expectations regarding rules and behavior before our one-shot begins. 🚽 My sessions are designed with built-in breaks every 90-120 minutes for bio breaks, mental recharging, grabbing snacks, or whatever you need! 🚪 I also maintain an Open Door policy! Meaning, if you need to step away outside our designated breaks, don't hesitate. Just drop me a direct chat to notify me and (if possible) let me know how we should proceed with your character's involvement in the story :)
