About me
Hey all! I am Kris also known as Wriz. I have been playing D&D for 8 years 6 of which as a DM. I was first introduced to this awesome game by a fantastic group of friends, but like many latecomers to the game, I became inspired by the likes of Critical Role and Dimension20, and I am so happy I stumbled across them as D&D is now a full fledged addiction for me. I strive to bring several things to my games. - Making your backstory matter - Your actions affect the world, permanently - Crafting unique NPCs that you want to revisit and interact with - Rewarding great play and innovation The best thing about D&D and TTRPGs in general is that the players make the story. There is always an end goal, but how you get there is up to you, and no matter how you and your group decide to get there, its my job to facilitate that adventure in the best way I can. If you think that sounds like something you would enjoy, drop me a message or join in one of my sessions.
GM Style
So, I love both combat and role play. I use battle maps both for story telling as well as the fights themselves. One of the key parts of my style is putting everything I can into the NPCs. I want you as a player to feel like you are in a living world. The people you meet as you travel will have hopes, secrets and ambitions and how you as a party interact with them will affect the world around you permanently, for better or for worse. On my side of things I go all out on the voices, and I always do my best to narrate how combat plays out based on your actions. Additionally, I adore players with rich backstories, the more you give me, the more I will bake your character into this crazy world. Lastly, at my table the rule of cool always prevails. I will be lenient with the rules, if your actions lend themselves to the moment, and I will always try to reward players for being clever and thinking outside the box.

Kris is an amazing, respectful DM who is always open for your creative input and creates incredible stories for you and your DnD character to experience. He puts a lot of love and care into the world building and you will remember most NPCs by name even if you are not a notorious notetake just because how memorable they are and because of the very distinctive voices he gives them.

Would give 6 stars if poss. Kris is an amazing DM, ive played quite a few sessions now and having the best time. He knows the rules well but also is very happy for rule of cool and creative ideas to be used. You can tell the number 1 priority is for us to have a good time. Allows for character backstories to be encompassed into the campaign, does great voices. Literally couldnt speak more highly. You will not regret playing in a campaign with Kris

Chris is the most amazing GM I have ever had. The immersive environment he has created for multiple campaigns that I’ve been involved in with him were amazing. He even created Gnomedash in conjunction with another player in the campaign. This is without a doubt, one of our favorite off the cuff creations and it is just one example of many. The quality of the homebrew items he has created is second to none. The creativity of the weapons, armor, and especially the environment is amazing and makes for immersive role-play. He has even promised to reincarnate me as a gnome so I can get my foot in the door at Gnome Depot for the employee discounts on magical items. (They only hire gnomes and did not exist at the beginning of the campaign). I can’t wait to see what happens next! Sincerely, Connor.

Chris is an excellent voice actor who really brings all of the NPC‘s to life. Kris brings a ton of creativity to the game. He will also incorporate some crazy stuff that we come up with, such as “Gnome Dash” for a courier service. He takes the rule of cool to another level. Our current campaign has a lot of creative poison and alchemical crafting as well as opportunities to harvest supplies for crafting from the monsters we slay. Excellent combat, entertaining role-play, and a great game setting make for a lot of fun sessions. Thanks, Kris! Sorry I could only pick 3 tags!

The GM was so helpful with the creation process of my character and helped me find a way to bring my character into the world with connections to the main story. Does amazing voices and role-playing. I found the character interactions, combat, and dungeons very fun.

Kris has created a deeply nuanced and satisfyingly complex story with overlapping mysteries that always have me on the edge of my seat. He's able to let the party be as creative as they like yet always seems to have something planned for the tangent we go down. He's impressively prepared and knowledgeable of the game and I look forward to every session. Look no further for your next GM!
