About me

Hello, I'm Chance. I have been playing TTRPGs of one sort or another for better than 30 years (most of that as a GM). What started out as a hobby to entertain a small group of close friends in my basement with a D&D boxed set has turned into a lifelong love of storytelling and a desire to meet like-minded people! I have spun stories around great heroes known throughout the realms...as well as hog breeders that just wanted more than their little corner of the farm. Whether you are looking to be a knight of renown or a simple wanderer, there are stories to envelope you. My table is always open, and I try to maintain a safe, courteous and mostly fun place for you to explore the world that we create together. I have played with veteran players as well as complete beginners. I play online, in game stores, conventions...heck, I've even been known to still kick it in the basement...old school. So grab a seat friend, open your dice bag and let's see where we can go to today!

GM Style

I would say that my games tend to be heavier on the roleplay. I truly love seeing a character walk off of the sheet and become a living, breathing person. When I can hear a player become the character, that's my truest reward. That said, I do recognize the need for a good old knock-down, drag-out fracas from time to time...and I try to make those as entertaining as possible.

Chance is one of the best GMs I've had the privilege to play with, building believable worlds with creative challenges and ensuring everyone feels included and relevant no matter the situation. He has definitely raised the bar for an enjoyable game and I look forward to every session. Five stars is too few.

Chance is great at making the game world feel like a real place with people who have their own stories. Even in our one-shot he already had NPCs tied all together with our characters and relationships. It felt like we were a small component of a much larger world.

I had a great time! Whatever crazy plans we came up with, regardless of if they were successful, Chance made it fun.

I've played in a couple of Monster of the Week one-shots ran by Chance and they were both a great time. Chance takes the time to walk new players through character creation and the game system while allowing experienced players to use existing characters with established connections. His game plots are fun and strike a satisfying balance between light-hearted and dark. I would recommend playing in any games that Chance runs!
