About Chris

A GM from London, England who loves worldbuilding and to take players on epic adventures. My style of GM-ing is to allow the players to shape the course of the story and most importantly ensure that everyone at the table is having fun, so expect a dash of comedy and great NPCs mixed in with an engaging adventure. Outside of TTRGPs I'm a software engineer, and a big fan of football ("soccer"), board games enthusiast and blogger.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Being a husband and dad, playing TTRPGs and board games, making my own hot sauces, enjoying great beer, planning games that I will run, listening to podcasts, working as a software engineer and watching football ("soccer" to Americans).

How Chris runs games

I love to roleplay different NPCs and will give them each their own personality. I also really enjoy challenging combat situations. But primarily my GM style is to build the story around the players' characters and allow players to lead the direction of the story. For this reason I put a heavy emphasis on worldbuilding in my planning for any campaign or one-shot. I love to tell great stories but most of all I want the players to enjoy themselves so I will add a sprinkle of comedy and quirky NPCs to any game. I'm somewhat relaxed about rules but ensure consistency with the rules in place.
