About me

Hello everybody! I’m Tenpas (my Mom calls me Chris). I began playing D&D in the 1980s and played through middle and high school. However, my party moved away, and I was left with a bunch of books and miniatures. It’s a sad story, but there’s a happy ending. Fast-forward to 2022. I’m listening to another LitRPG audiobook, and my mind wanders back to the glorious days of hosting a party through one dark labyrinth after another. I plug Dungeons and Dragons into a search engine and POW, Start Playing Games is at the top of the list. The rest is history. I’ve played in several fantastic campaigns and one-shots since that day and am ready to jump back into running the show.

GM Style

My game style is to keep things interesting. I like to play in games where the NPCs and bad guys are interesting, so it’s only fair that I strive to make my games follow suit. I want everyone to enjoy themselves at my game, but if your idea of fun is to bully, mock, or belittle other players, please choose another game.

I've played in Tenpas's games before, and like always, he ran a well-paced game, presented opportunity for all three pillars of play -- social, exploration, and combat. He was welcoming and helpful to all regardless of experience. His one-shot was well thought out with interesting and unusual details I have never seen before. Voices were great! Rules were known. This was just plain fun. I highly recommend Tenpas for your next DM!

I joined Tenpas in two one shots to get used to how other people DM as I begin to DM for a group of friends. His games were fun and their themes was awesome. He allowed for interesting ways to problem solve issues and gave everyone the opportunity to have fun character moments. I will definitely look for more of his games in the future.

Easy going DM. Ran a clean and straight forward game. Helped out the newbies a lot and had lots of patience with them.
