About Chris
Greeting Travelers! I learned to play Dungeons and Dragons when I was 8 years old, and have been game mastering for the last 20 years. I have also worked as a freelance TTRPG writer and game designer for the last 10 years, and have my own actual play horror podcast (Hallowtide, available wherever you listen) and producing my own miniature game with Black Site Studios. My favorite genre has been horror ever since I first read HP Lovecraft when I was 14. However, I am also known for running more zany, tongue-in-cheek games depending on the crowd.

How Chris runs games
I like to create unique game experiences that you will remember for years to come. My emphasis is on rich roleplaying, complex plots, and unique encounters with surprising solutions. I enjoy constructing multi-layered mysteries that will keep players coming back for more as they peel back the next sheet. My games don't have often have a single correct solution or preferred path; instead, they grow in surprising directions in response to my players' actions and character growth.
Chris's ideal table
My table is big on roleplaying and building a dramatic narrative together.
