About me
The heavens crumble as stars fall, the day breaks and twilight awakens. From the small townships at the edge of a island to the distant galaxies of universes unknown, from the stories we all know to the worlds beyond. I run primarily Pathfinder2e (and "soon" Starfinder2e), Call of Cthulhu and a custom XCOM/Pathfinder inspired sci-fi system "Rise of the Polity". Most of my campaigns include elements of body, cosmic, environmental and existential horror, deeper-set political intrigue, setting exploration and rely heavily on player willingness to be taken into some very long RP scenes. Admittedly, I'm not the best at running combat, but I am improving, so please understand that my descriptions during encounters may be lacking. I enjoy running backstory sessions for my players to give them a better understanding of their backstories, help them flesh out the world and understand more of the plot threads they wish to chase. Additionally, I usually write PC-specific quests that can be pursued during downtime or breaks between sessions, allowing you to go into a solo adventure, or pair up with other people for a specific quest line.
GM Style
I enjoy crafting deep cultures and establishing world lore. I am primarily a worldbuilder and most of my campaigns can be considered sandbox to a degree, where your actions and your wishes control the rate at which you learn things about the world. However, this does not mean the world events don't progress if you don't seek them out. Generally, I am a fan of hyperrealism, meaning most people when they get into fights and near death are often partially traumatized and will have trouble accepting that they have killed someone/something if they haven't had any experience in the past. I have a bit of worldbuilding for everyone that plays my games, even if they're brand new to TTRPGs. I enjoy making combat interesting, meaning sometimes you can find yourselves in cinematic or cutscene combat where we disregard the RAW combat mechanics in favor of creating a better story. I am a huge roleplay and exploration junkie, and while I am not the best at voices, I love to do them.

If you like in-depth stories and lore they're the DM for you. They take the game seriously and are always trying to make things better in terms of both story and mechanics, and have it so that the two complement and work with each other. And don't worry about autonomy because in their games, your actions WILL have consequences... for better or for worse. If you don't like large groups or struggle with digesting a lot of lore and mechanical info, they probably aren't the DM for you. Even for lore junkies, their world-building can be a bit overwhelming at time. But if you like BIG stories, you couldn't ask for a better GM.

The only reason I gave him 4 and not 5 stars was because we have not been playing for a long while, however for what time I did play with him, he has presented as a good story teller and has quite in depth sessions.

GREAT GM, good friend of mine that really knows their craft. theri worlds are always so vibrant and open, and full of life. Characters feel different in their own ways. Lots of customization in the game too, along with lots of laughs.

I'm someone who struggles with severe aphantasia; I can't see things in my mind's eye. When playing with Chorus, that is never an issue. Chorus's maps are a work of art. The attention to detail is breathtaking, and I've never seen stronger visual language than in their creations. That attention goes into every step of their worldbuilding as well. I highly recommend Chorus for any and all curious players!

Chorus is a really cool GM who is awesome at trying to include everyone. the world they've built is awesome, with aspects of dark fantasy, traditional fantasy, and scifi. 10/10 would recommend as a GM.
