About me
Hello everyone, I am Bolt of Chaos! Tabletop games have been my passion since I was first introduced to them 13 years ago. My start as a DM began about 3 months after being introduced when our DM moved away and I decided, "Well, we can't play without one and I have some ideas." What followed was an amazing journey that led to me being the resident Perma-DM, homebrew crafter, world builder, and eventually server owner of a small gaming Discord group! I love investing my time and energy (and frequently money) into running or creating a game that all of my players can enjoy for months to come! If you want a DM that wants to listen and incorporate your ideas and goals into a game, who is patient and willing to listen and act on any critiques or desires you have, lets talk and get to rolling dice!
GM Style
My GM style focuses primarily on roleplay and combat, with a sub focus on character and NPC interactions. I frequently use and design my own battle maps, both for combat and as a visual aid to help everyone get into the world. I encourage my players to roleplay as much as possible, as well as to come out of their shell and be an equal member of the party. On my end I try to engage with character voices and allow my players a greater agency in the story and gameplay. Innovation is rewarded, just because something isn't allowed by the base rules doesn't mean I forbid it, rule of cool/fun comes first most times!

Curtis
My first experience with him was with a system of his own design for a world I wasn't familiar with. He was very patient and kind with me getting to know the system, and he only became more so the longer we played together. I'd join any game he dmed in a heart beat
James
His games are frontloaded with being fun first and foremost. He's always keeping you on your toes wondering what's gonna happen next, and what new and amazing thing he'll either throw at you or that you'll get to play with and use. He gives you the tools to go for creative solutions to problems and always tries to create interesting scenarios that subvert your expectations.

The complexity of dungeons he creates are awesome, The stories I've played have been great
Allan
They are so fun, and allow to do crazy stuff within the rules of the game, if you are creative and like experimenting with different techniques of playing he's the GM for you.
King
When I started playing with him during the height of the pandemic I never thought I would find such a diverse space of stories and characters than I would here. LQ has a great sense of humor and story telling that makes it so much fun to get into your character and stay in the vibes the whole time.
