About me

Looking for More Than Just a Game? Have you ever wished your D&D group felt more like a fellowship—bound not just by quests, but by real camaraderie and unforgettable stories? Has your hero ever stood at the brink, where one roll could mean their name becomes legend… or a tale of what might have been? Have you journeyed through a campaign that touched every part of adventuring—combat, roleplay, and exploration—and still found yourself wishing it would never end? That’s the kind of game I run. For nearly 30 years, I’ve been guiding adventurers through the Forgotten Realms—bringing life to the people, politics, and peril of a world that lives and breathes beyond the dice rolls. I've led friends, family, coworkers, and countless convention-goers through deep, rewarding campaigns that leave lasting memories. Whether you're a seasoned player or just setting out on your first quest, I invite you to the table. Come experience storytelling where your choices truly matter, where characters grow alongside one another, and where every session leaves you counting the days until the next. Don't let the adventure pass you by—your legend starts here.

GM Style

At its core, D&D is a social game—it's about coming together to tell an unforgettable story as a group. For me, fostering camaraderie and collaboration is just as important as the adventure itself. I believe in embracing all three pillars of play to create a rich, dynamic experience: Roleplay is the heart of the game—deep character interactions, tough choices, and memorable moments. Exploration should spark wonder—uncovering hidden lore, strange locations, and mysterious factions that make the world feel alive. Combat adds tension and excitement, and it should always feel meaningful. Survival isn't guaranteed, but smart tactics and teamwork will give you a fighting chance. My worlds are living, breathing places shaped by your actions. Factions have goals. NPCs have motivations. Choices have consequences. This isn’t a game where the story plays itself—you make it happen. Expect clear boundaries: the true conflict lies between good and evil, law and chaos—not between party members. PvP and excessive inter-party conflict aren’t part of the experience I offer. I keep homebrew rules light and focused, to support creativity without bogging down the game. Unique ideas and great roleplay are always welcomed—and rewarded. Finding the right GM or group can be tough. Feel free to reach out via Discord if you have questions or just want to get a feel for the table: PNWGamer#7111 Creativity should be rewarded and role playing doubly so. Homebrew rules should be simple and few. Creativity should be rewarded and welcomed at the table. Finding a good group or GM can be difficult. Please reach out on Discord with any questions or to see if we are a good fit! =) PNWGamer#7111

Chris is an excellent DM! This is not your run of the mill D&D experience on SPG. You will absolutely grow as a player and/or DM with the way Chris brings all three pillars of the game to bear. He has next leveled the game for me in a number of ways and I've never been more excited for my Monday nights. His games are a great fit for veteran and new players alike. If you want a fun, authentic, engaging, and challenging D&D experience, get yourself into one of his games ASAP. This is the real deal.

Chris is a spectacular DM! He prepares his sessions with significant detail. Submerging you in the campaign, with a wide cast of NPCs and encounters to come across. His campaigns stick true to DND and every item has an importance or can be used. He presents opportunities for everyone to shine at the table. I strongly recommend if a spot is open at the table to take as it likely won't be open for long.

We are playing an open campaign set in Chult. The GM is passionate about this setting and it shows through. He's always prepared and presents situations, NPCs, and monsters clearly with solid story telling, and gives us room to take the story where we want to.
