About me
Hello to you all potential players and people just looking around, my names Chaska. I'm a 23 year old DM from South Africa, been playing the game half my life and DMing for a good 8 years now. I'm obsessed with fantasy worlds and games around it, having spent plenty of time digging into everything from usual DnD to Conan, Warhammer, Lovecraft, Dark Sun, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun and much much more. As a DM my approach is very improv based, I love my players exploring everything they can and following threads I lay or even wanting to go out and make their own adventures so I'm rarely caught unprepared for what you all may have planned. I run most games in my own world, personally designed map and all the locations, filled it with as much content thats fun and unique that I could think of. Beyond that I still love running any system in any other world, be it VtM, Cyberpunk or generally just games people like.
GM Style
I love detailed and immersive roleplay, I want my players to feel that they can play as their characters freely with the world responding to them in a natural and organic way. Every action will have consequences and the world will respond to you as realistically as I can do for the setting. Its why I love improv dming, so you can play as you wish, say what you want, look for what you need and you'll get it.

A Masterclass in Dungeon Mastery! I've played D&D for years, and I can honestly say that this DM stands out as one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of gaming with. Their storytelling is immersive, their worldbuilding is rich and detailed, and they strike a perfect balance between rules and creativity. Whether it's heart-pounding combat, deep character moments, or hilarious in-game antics, they guide the session with confidence, clarity, and an obvious passion for the game. Every NPC feels alive, every twist feels earned, and every session leaves us talking about what happened long after the dice stop rolling. They tailor the game to the players' strengths, give everyone time to shine, and keep the energy high from start to finish. If you’re lucky enough to play at their table, don’t take it for granted — this is top-tier Dungeon Mastering.

Chaska is an exceptional DM who brings incredible creativity, storytelling, and adaptability to every session. His ability to craft immersive worlds and engage players with compelling narratives makes every game an absolute delight. He truly listens to the group, ensuring everyone has a chance to shine and feel included. The atmosphere he creates is full of excitement, mystery, and fun, leaving me eager for each new session. I couldn't recommend Chaska more highly—if you're looking for a DM who goes above and beyond to deliver an unforgettable experience, he's the one!

Joined a campaign with Chaska about 5-6 weeks ago, very entertaining, probable the best DM I've had to date. Very adaptive, he rolls with what makes it fun with the group and build a campaign that was fun from session zero.
