About Chad
Hiya! I'm Chad (no my parents didn't know it was gonna be a meme) I'm a 21-year-old DM who has 7 years of experience as a player and about 6 as a GM. As many do I found it very intimidating to GM when I started. My playstyle was a little bit toxic, prioritising railroading a plot and losing hope when players would come up with great ideas. Only when I started Gming my third campaign did I realise that your players coming up with chaotic and interesting ideas and making sure they were able to do what they wanted (to a reasonable degree) was what I actually had to prioritise. I started to believe that if they cared about progression and the story I had put in front of them, they would follow it, and if not then it was time to change something to keep them engaged. If you're interested in playing with me, let me know by popping me a message and adding me on discord!

I got started GMing...
When I started having too many ideas to keep to myself. I think one of my favourite aspects of all types of media is the world-building of their setting. Take ATLA; gorgeous world-building.
How Chad runs games
I would like to think that I can balance RP, Combat, and Exploration, according to my player's preferences. I naturally lean more towards RP and appreciate creative improv. I like doing voices and creating mannerisms for my NPCs. That being said I also enjoy describing rich scenes and creating deadly fights. I've found it much more rewarding recently to be more reactive to what players do during a session rather than planning meticulously.
Chad's ideal table
My ideal table is more than anything, there to have fun. It's a group of people with great ideas and a willingness to tell a deep story together.
