About Chris Lawson
Hi, my name's Chris. I'm a writer, youtuber, and recent college grad who figured why not take my love of ttrpgs to the next level. I've been a forever GM since middle school and have experience running everything from one-shots to multi-year campaigns. Dungeons & Dragons 5e and Vampire the Masquerade 5e are the two systems I have the most experience with. My strongest skills as a GM are my on the spot improv, ability to incorporate player feedback, and strong character writing that make the world really come to life. Can't wait to embark on a new adventure with all of you!

My favorite books are
George RR Martin's ASOIAF series. Probably not the most unique on this website but what can I say. In order, I'd rate them A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons, A Clash of Kings, and A Game of Thrones. Though Honestly, that order can change based on whichever I'm rereading.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Writing! I'm a YouTuber as well as a Playwright. I feel most at home in front of a keyboard or notepad so DMing is really just another facet of that writing obsession.
How Chris Lawson runs games
I honestly like a bit of everything! I really enjoy high-stakes, tactical combat but I also love a puzzle here and there. I pride myself on providing engaging roleplay but also love coupling it with exploration that makes the world seem alive. I think my unique GM style comes out best when I am able to craft a sandbox for the players. To me, there is nothing like witnessing how players come together to leave their impact on the world and narrative. It's the group storytelling aspect of ttrpgs that keeps me coming back time and time again.
