About Brian | Chewie
⚔️I take people to dungeons deep, caverns old, and occasionally to a tavern brawl that definitely wasn’t planned but somehow becomes the main story! 👋 Hi, I'm Brian! Every week I get to do something amazing. Life is full of responsibilities, but for a few hours I help people escape! You get to adventure, laugh and make friendships. I love being the one to help make that happen, because everyone deserves a chance to be a hero. 🎲 My games are all about adventure, creativity and having a blast! Every great story has a framework, but I think the best moments happen when players take the reins. I use adventures as a springboard then let your choices twist the tale into something uniquely yours. You’re steering this ship, I’m just here to make sure it floats! 🧠Neurodivergent-Friendly Zone I know TTRPGs weren’t designed with ND folks in mind, but my table is. If you need adjustments to make things work for you, let me know. No shame. No judgement. You deserve to play comfortably too! 🧠 Also, my own brain is a bit of a homebrew build! I have a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects memory and information processing. Every once in a while, I roll a crit fail on remembering a rule/spell and might need a refresher. I do my best to make sure it doesn’t slow things down! 📋Rules!? More like Guidelines! I won’t grind a session to a halt over a rulebook. If something’s unclear, I’ll make a quick call and keep the story flowing. I'll check the rule between sessions, but the game should feel dynamic, not like a legal dispute over spell wording! What could possibly go wrong? Let’s find out!! If you have any questions feel free to message here or Discord: __chewie__

I got started GMing...
When I realized how much of a social outlet this could be. Team problem solving with someone who has dedicated their week to how they can craft a fun experience for you is one of the most rewarding past-times you can have! I wanted to take people to dungeons deep and caverns old!
My favorite books are
Stormlight Archive (all of Cosmere) Harry Potter Licanius Trilogy King killer Chronicles Kings of the Wyld Any and everything Fantasy or adventure, tear through about 2-3 a month.
How Brian | Chewie runs games
All my games offer: -A relaxed, safe and fun atmosphere for everyone. ❤️🔥 -A world that reacts to your actions. 🌎 -Tension filled combat and intriguing social interactions. 🗡 -Fleshed out NPC's with their own wants and goals. 🧙♂️ -Dynamically lit battle maps, custom-made handouts, visual representations of all major locations and characters. 🗺 - Music chosen for that specific game/area to keep it as in-theme as possible. 🎵🎶 5e: Around a 60/40 clip Rp & Social to Combat. Shadowdark RPG: Probably a 70/30 clip Combat & Exploration to Rp & social. Playing to the strengths of the system. I prefer to run heroic 'Tolkienesque' games! I'm not big on wacky evil shenanigans but do like to have a laugh! (No murder ho-bos essentially)

My games focus on...
Player agency above all! No predetermined outcomes or twists that aren't earned through player actions. I'll let prep go to waste before I push it to the table unorganically.
Rules are...
a means to an end: having fun is the goal!
