About me
Howdy folks! I go by ChrispE but you can call me Chris. I have been playing D&D and other tabletop RPGs for over 12 years now and ever since i have been cursed with a horrible fate... The fate of the FOREVER GM! However, I have persevered and turned my curse into a blessing. Using it to craft a large, ever-evolving homebrew world of unique characters for my players to explore; and now I want to share it with YOU! I run two games every weekend which I livestream to Twitch, if you'd like to check out how i run my games you can check them out on https://twitch.tv/chrispe_vdl or on youtube under ChrispE_VDL. I run respectful games for all people and will not tolerate harassment in any form at ANY of my tables, so if you are looking for a fun and safe place to meet fellow TTRPG fanatics then reach out and say "Hi!" I'll be running games in D&D 5th Edition as well as Star Wars 5th Edition in the near future but am open to new games as requested!
GM Style
I like to tell players that I am a roleplay heavy GM. I have many different ways to get each of my players involved depending on their play style however so I am very flexible. I have many different voices and characters in my "arsenal" so I do LOVE roleplay but my main focus is creating a fun environment for all!

Chris is A-MA-ZING! He is a master of his craft, I can't recommend him enough, and you will get your money's worth, and then some. First things first, he is very helpfull when designing your character, so you can portray whatever you set your mind on, and after that, assisting you in game to roleplay that character and bring him to life. Secondly, he isn't just a good mechanics gm, making great and comple combats, memorable scenarios, breathtaking scenes, HE IS AN ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD Narrator/Storyteller. The voices, the roleplay, from an orc mook to a hellish demon lord, each of his characters stands out. His descriptions, always on point without being overwhelming, leaving room for each player to imagine the scene oh his own as well. Keeps the action rolling when needed, flows naturally with all the ideas the players have, lets us catch our breath when suitable, pulls out ON THE SPOT 10/10 . Finally, and maybe most importantly he is a good and chill person! Even before playing, in the conversation we've had I could tell this would be great and that Chris would make it even more memorable. Then, when the session begun, we had our laughs, we had a MASSIVE combat, and we've had a glimpse of the thrills that lurked on his unique worlds.
Chris is an exceptional DM who truly knows how to bring the world of Dungeons & Dragons to life. The storytelling is immersive, the characters feel dynamic and engaging, and the pacing of the sessions is just right. They are excellent at balancing combat, roleplay, and exploration, ensuring everyone at the table has a chance to shine. The preparation and effort they put into the campaign is evident in the intricate plotlines, custom content, and adaptability to player choices. Chris also does a fantastic job of fostering a fun and inclusive atmosphere, making everyone feel welcome and involved. If you're looking for a DM who will provide an unforgettable experience, look no further than Chris! Highly recommended for players of all experience levels.
Chris does a fantastic job of really taking into account what your goals and aspirations are with your character and working WITH you to incorporate that into the campaign and world. I have immense respect for the work he does behind the scenes and the quality of the story when you really dive into what's going on.
Chrispe has an amazing world that he has built and developed with amazing nations npcs cities. Has amazing pacing combat encounters puzzles. He allows players to do off the wall things while knowing the rules very well. Has very fair rulings with good explanations. His voices are amazing never to amaze me while playing. Just overall a great experience playing at his table.
By far my favorite ever DM I ever had the pleasure to play with! Chris is a true talent and skilled! If you love epic campaigns filled with great humor, exhilarating action sequences, surprising scenarios, and a riveting world, I highly recommend Chris! I can truly tell he has a deep passion for what he does- and helping you fit your character to the world seamlessly.
