About CS

My name is CS Barnhart and I've been running RPGs since 1985. I prefer heroic fantasy. Good guys vs bad guys and epic adventures. It's my belief that each player deserves time in the spotlight. I've run all versions of D&D except 4E and 5E, Cyberpunk, D6, Castles & Crusades, DC Heroes, Marvel Superheroes, Call of Cthulhu, Noir, Hero, MERP/Rolemaster, Palladium, and dozens more. I've even written a few settings and adventures available on drivethrurpg.com and lulu as well as for Modiphius and Chaosium. I'm looking for players that are interested in high heroics, action adventure, and deep plotlines. In my day job I'm a video producer and documentary filmmaker. So story is very important to me. But it's your story. So let's make it a great one.

How CS runs games

My style is cinematic action and drama with role playing and deep lore. Subplots burn for a long time before becoming major stories. Elements introduced early may become significant later in the campaign. But it's a sandbox. Major plots will evolve in the background if players choose other paths. Other paths will lead to new plots. Characters and players will influence and contribute to the setting and story, taking even me on a ride into the unknown and unexpected.
