About me
What can I say about myself, well I am a 12 year combat veteran and a 15 year film producer/director. I have been a storyteller my entire life. I use all of my entire life experience into my games. I have been a professional Dungeon Master in the streaming world for many years. Any game you play of mine is cannon in my homebrew world of Ukodor. I love what I do and bring that to the table for all of you to enjoy.
GM Style
Why join my games? There are many reasons one might sit down at a table to play a game based around dice and imagination. Perhaps, you are interested in creating stories, or maybe were convinced by a friend to give it a go. But no matter your reason for pulling up a chair to start, you all stay for the exact same reason, the connections that are formed. The game, while based in fantastic fiction, has deep impacts within the realities of those that play. Here, in this world, you become a representation of yourself, one not bound by the same fears and apprehensions, capable of facing manifestations of problems one encounters everyday, be it social, economic or physical. But this is not something undertaken alone, for you become part of a group, interacting with those other representations, using teamwork and communication to achieve not individual but also group oriented goals. Creating introspection while needing to interact with others allows people to be able to discover things about themselves that they would not have otherwise been able to access. This game, while meant to entertain, provides a safe space to explore subjects and allow for growth. So, it may appear to be simply dice and paper or swords and spells, but this is a simply a fun and creative medium chosen to form that crucial human necessity...connection. At the end of the day the choice is yours!

The creative introduction of the parties was interesting in it wasn't forced but hinted. As a GM, Chris uses his position to highlight, guide, and react to his players instead of "plot hammering" everything together. This was my first adventure with Chris and my first adventure for years. He made it feel like I never walked away from the game, welcomed to the group, and encouraged what the players were doing with witty remarks by the NPC characters and sometimes under his breath. Chris is beyond a typical cookie cutter DM and really wants the group he is with to not just enjoy the game, but truly feel the story.

Chris is a great storyteller. There is a measured level of social interaction and game mechanics that bring you into the world. Sometimes I worry about game being weighed one way or the other, but I was pleasantly enthralled during our session. He's a schemer, I am chomping at the bit to unravel his story.

Chris is a great DM for players new and old. Combat is challenging yet rewarding, and he allows plenty of time for roleplaying between players. With a living and breathing world for my campaign, everything feels like it operates on its own timeline and the world doesn't come full-stop for us as players so there is a desire for action constantly.

I’ve been a player for Chris for a long time now and I cannot recommend him enough! His stories and characters draw you in and every player has a part to play which helps make you feel like you’re part of something bigger than just the typical fetch quests. Try him out and you’ll understand what I mean, you will not be disappointed I promise.

Chris has created a great custom world and an emersive storyline for the campaign. He is also one of the few DM's, that I know of, who is fully capable of running the campaign to where the characters can reach 20th level.
