About me
Hey and welcome to the adventure! I'm Chewie, a lifelong gamer, nerd, and a 10+ year TTRPG convert. I have GM'd home campaigns, local brewery night one-shots, and online campaigns for friends. Started in D&D 5e and added Pathfinder 2e a few years back. A bit about myself; I am 35-year-old gamer who gardens semi-professionally, and I'm a seasoned service industry veteran, FOH and BOH. I believe games, and more specifically TTRPG's are a great way to relax, decompress, and get a good laugh in.
GM Style
I believe we all sit down to have fun, and that is what I strive to deliver. Whether that is a roleplay-heavy story with less emphasis on combat, or a strict dungeon delve, whatever the group enjoys, is what we can strive for! I do believe the rules are there for a reason, but there is no reason to bog down a session to dissect minutia, we can look it up later. In the moment, what feels good to the group and lives within the rules of the world?

Chewie is cool, creative, and super accommodating; if you're interested in playing something a bit more unusual, he's pretty open to all content regardless of rarity. He's also very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommended!

I've really enjoyed playing with Chewie. Been enjoying our Abomination Vaults game quite a bit!

Chewie is a great GM. He is good at customizing the experience to his players, balancing roleplay and combat to what the party likes and if very good at explaining the rules. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to play, both beginners and experienced players.

Chewie was the first DM I ever played with and he took the extra time to work me through character creation and understanding the rules. He was always super flexible with the campaign and facilitated the narrative instead of directing the party. That first campaign was one he homebrewed and the story was interesting and immersive with a rich world and fun quests.

I have played 3 campaigns with Chewie as game master. He GM’d the first campaign I ever played in. The best part of that campaign for me was how he really made an effort to incorporate each character’s backstory and weave them into the overall story in a seamless way. The other 2 campaigns that I played in with Chewie, he created an entire world for with completely unique storylines. We could all tell how hard he had worked on it! Chewie is always doing extra no matter what role he has. For our physical campaigns he always worked extra on crafting items/scenery for each set up. He’s an attentive, creative, and inclusive GM, but most of all he’s fun and really makes it enjoyable.

Chewie DMed a campaign for myself and two friends that lasted a bit over a year. I’ve played for years and the other two were brand new to ttrpgs. Chewie made sure we could all understand the rules and what was happening and why, while still giving us the freedom to do cool, fun things. The campaign had a strong story, plenty of choices, and lots of depth to the world we were exploring. I would definitely recommend him.
