About me

My name is Chris and I've been running games consistently for the past ten years, with periodic games for the fifteen years prior. My preferred systems are World of Darkness and Call of Cthulhu, and I currently run games of both Vampire: The Masquerade and Call of Cthulhu for friends. I also have a few years experience with Mage: The Awakening, 2nd Edition. My games have run from one-shots to multi-year campaigns. While I have run modules, such as Masks of Nyarlathotep or Horror on the Orient Express, my games are primarily written by myself. I much prefer theater of the mind to miniatures and tactical games.

GM Style

My games tend toward roleplay and story. I never run adversarial tables, where the Storyteller/GM and players are at odds. We're here to have a good time and make a story together. I want my players to succeed and cater my games to that end. Character creation should be about interesting PCs, and the game should suit their skill sets in a challenging way, rather than the game becoming an arbitrary benchmark to be beaten. Safety tools are an important part of games. While I run horror games, that doesn't mean boundaries must be breached. Any player can take a topic off the table and out of the game, no justification, no vote, no veto. Again, it's a game. If it's not fun, what are we doing?
