I got started GMing...
because no one else in my friends group wanted to, and it turns out I loved it!
How Chris runs games
My games center around stories. Everyone has a story to tell, and the campaign is the blank page to write yours. I love providing a framework and then collaborating with the players so that their stories become THE story. I focus roleplaying over rules, but not to the exclusion of rules. Exciting, cinematic battles and action scenes, with loads of room for character growth and drama. My games can feature horror elements and tend to focus on the battle of good vs evil, with the players being on the side of good. Lines and veils are discussed ahead of time, however.

Rules are...
necessary, but not always conductive to the story moving along.
Chris's ideal table
My ideal table is 4-5 players who want to tell fun stories that allow for the others at the table to participate. Stories and characters come first. We all have stories we want to tell, and they can be made larger and more intricate when all of us work together to tell them.

I love it when a player
brings me a good backstory and is willing to let me weave it into the campaign.
