About GM Chris

"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.

How GM Chris runs games

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.

GM Chris's ideal table

My ideal table is made up of players who truly want to be there and stay engaged throughout the game. Some of my groups focus heavily on roleplay, while others thrive on action-packed combat. I enjoy running all styles for their own unique reasons. No matter what kind of game you prefer, the most important thing is player engagement—everything else comes second.
