About me
"After playing several sessions with Chris, I really love how he is so good at making everyone comfortable regardless of experience level. He makes the game fun, adapts the GM style from combat to role playing based on his players, and really makes an effort to care about his players. I look forward to more gaming with him." -Sean Videos: Using Foundry VTT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PQyMmTRmSs I have over 30 years of experience in TTRPGs, starting as a player in the early 90s and later becoming a GM. My experience has given me a deep understanding of various games, which I use to enhance the games I run. I've played multiple games, including different editions of "Dungeons and Dragons" (2e, 3e, and 5e), "Rifts," "Robotech," "Chivalry & Sorcery," and several versions of "World of Darkness," from "Vampire the Masquerade" to "Vampire v5." Currently, I'm running "Dungeons and Dragons 5e" and "Vampire v5" games. My main approach as a GM is to focus on collaborative storytelling, where players contribute significantly to the narrative. My games are open to everyone, including beginners. I use Discord for communication and Foundry VTT for the game mechanics and visuals, which helps in running the games smoothly and keeping players engaged.
GM Style
In my games, I prioritize crafting a shared narrative, focusing on the collective creation of our story. I aim for a balanced blend of role-playing and combat, enhancing sessions with some voice acting for character immersion, though I'm continuously improving in this area. I ensure all players are involved and have opportunities to contribute, fostering an inclusive environment. My patience and support for new players help them integrate seamlessly into the game. Additionally, my solid grasp of gaming tools and platforms ensures smooth and engaging sessions.

Laura
Chris is inclusive in his approach, and is very friendly to new players, or players new to a virtual play environment. He has unique voices for his NPCs, uses music and visuals well to set the mood, and finds interesting ways to bring players together as a team even if they don’t know each other before starting. His games also have a really great balance of role playing and combat.

I played in a Vampire: The Masquerade one-shot that Chris ran. As someone who had limited familiarity with VTM table-top and no familiarity with Alchemy RPG, Chris was fantastic at explaining the rules and patient as I navigated the platform. He was a great storyteller and did a great job at using Alchemy to see the mood and stage. Part of that was also that he played a variety of NPCs well, which also added to immersion. Chris was good at moving the session along smoothly without the feeling of being rushed. He is a great storyteller I would recommend Chris for players of all levels.

I played in a Vampire: The Masquerade oneshot run by Chris. He did a great job explaining the system, roleplaying interesting NPCs, and setting the tone with descriptions supported by music and visuals. Chris is very professional and the session ran smoothly.

Chris is an amazing GM!!! He answers question fairly, openly, and allows the sessions to be fun to role play. He goes above and beyond to add more to the game that truly make you immerse into the universe that you forget that you are playing a game. I highly recommend him for anybody, new or veteran players.
