About me

I've been playing TTRPGs since the early 1980s and I'm loving the resurgence in popularity of tabletop gaming. I run a range of games aimed at introducing players to awesome systems they may not realize exist. I like to keep things simple using physical dice and theater of the mind on Discord. These days most of my games are play-by-post but I do host the occasional one-shot over voice channel. All of my games are LQBTQIA+, BIPOC and neurodivergent friendly. Gaming newbies will be offered all the support they need to find a fun and safe gaming environment.

GM Style

Never let the rules bring the story to a halt or throw a wet blanket on the fires of creativity and fun. Much like peanut butter I prefer smooth over crunchy game mechanics. High danger, low magic ... anyone can try anything. That's my style.

Chris is a great GM who is always happy to improvise around a character's insane ideas. He is also very inclusive and strives to make his games welcoming to all. If you're looking for a DM who will go along with a caper and is willing to throw the book out for the sake of fun, Chris is your guy!

Chrispychickin is skilled in bringing the story to life. He is amazing with keeping his players involved and laughing the entire time. He is always open to player choices and conversations leading off the beaten path. Highly skilled in setting the mood for role-playing AND combat, and his descriptions make the scenes come alive. Thumbs up for managing a group ranging from newbies to experienced players and not boring or excluding anyone.

As a beginner to D&D, chrispychickin has been great in helping me with the basics and to answer any questions while I learn the rules and how it all works. He is a great storyteller who can really bring the world to life and can keep all in the party involved and engaged. I highly recommend chrispychickin for anyone who is looking for an inclusive DM who is also awesome with newbies!

Chris is an excellent DM for beginners. He has been great about helping me when I don't understand something and understands whenever anyone has to miss a session. A friend recommended Chris to me and spoke to him about my autism and common interests he and I share.
