About Chris
GM since 1980, I run games you haven't heard of. Indie and non-Hasbro games are my gig! I wrote 'How Humakt Learned to Grieve' for the Jonstown Compendium. I run Star Wars, RuneQuest and other non-Hasbro games. I use safety tools such as lines and veils, X-card, brief and debrief, bleed management tools and others. My table is an explicitly safe BIPOC/ND/Queer/Trans/LGBTIA+ space as I am queer and nuerodivergent myself.

How Chris runs games
Collaborative, 60% rp/drama and 40% simulationist, with an emphasis on creating emotional scenes with player buy-in. Firstly, I run a safe, inclusive table. BIPOC, queer and femme folks always have a place at my table. I use safety tools, always run a strong session zero, and I do everything I can to get player buy in. I love developing PC backstories and during session zero and thereafter I love using backstory details. Your player characters are the stars of the show in my games, not NPCs! I use funny voices, and I adore incidental roleplaying and a lived in world. Players generating plot collaboratively with me is essential. I also love slice of life and healing RP. Finally, I run games that other people don't. Horror games, strange indie titles, and all that stuff like WOTC won't touch with a 10 foot pole (that's a DND joke son) I am ready to run for you.
