About me
I am an experienced game master in a variety of games from D&D to Shadowrun to Castle Falkenstein to Vampire the Masquerade and many games in between. My tables use Lines & Veils, are LGBTQIA+ and BIMPOC respectful, and prioritize consent. I have run games on a few Twitch channels, including TheHypeGoblin, TheWanderingSociety, ActionFiction, and FaeforgeAcademy. I am the lead game designer on the Omens Rising project and have ample experience designing and tweaking mechanics.
GM Style
My GMing style leans RP-heavy and PC-centric. I pride myself in sharing the spotlight across all player characters and integrating their personal stories into the overall plot. I consider crunchy tactical combat to be a bonus layer to games that would benefit it, but not a necessity for all games. I prefer to run recurring custom games but am equally comfortable running one-shots and module games. Samples: D&D - https://bit.ly/3Ss8lv6 Castle Falkenstein - https://bit.ly/3dEBZyn

When Kris met with our group for session zero, he really listened to what we were looking for and then came up with a custom campaign tailored just for us. Very intuitive and creative, Kris lets our group play with wonder and whimsy while helping us beginners learn the rules and gently nudging our herd of cats toward our shared goals.

Kris has a way of making sure all the players feel involved and appreciated. They are engaging and challenging while engaging and fun, with a mastery of storytelling that captures the essence of any setting and makes the players feel like they belong there. Getting to play with Kris was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend!

Kris was wonderful! Super easy going and enjoyable to play with. He helped solicit input from all the players so it was a really inclusive session. He is excellent at working on the fly with whatever players decide to do and has a great story telling ability! Will definitely play under him again!

He weaves a great story and encourages player creativity and exploration/roleplay a lot in the one shot I played which I love as oneshots are often more combat focused. I had an amazing time playing with him!

The story was fun, engaging, cute, and interesting. KG did a great job of keeping us moving while still allowing room for us to explore. I'm looking forward to the next time I'll be able to join a game with KG.
