About Lord Chantry

Mae govannen'! Wow, isn't Dungeons & Dragons the coolest ever?! That is why I've made it such a big part of my life. I am a Dungeon Master, American Sign Language Interpreter, Freelance Artist, and Actor! ~DMing~ I am a DM/GM that absolutely loves world-building, roleplaying, and collaborative storytelling with other creatives. I've completed 5 full-term campaigns thus far, each averaging about a year and a half: 1- Out of the Abyss/Homebrew, 2- Candlekeep Mysteries-influenced Homebrew, 3- "Murder in Mjölnir"- a completely Homebrewed Viking-themed campaign which finished up in August 2023, and finally- I just finished my 4th and 5th projects (and first fully-online campaigns) called "Book I - Shadows & Blood Ties: A Regencia Story" & "Book II - Proper War: A Regencia Story", each full of political intrigue, drama, and etiquette! (Check out the World of Regencia and campaign story on YouTube and WorldAnvil.com if you're interesting in following the Sterling family as they navigate the Aristocracy!) ~Art~ I do a lot of art! I have created maps for RPGs, designed an original board game with plans to market it and follow up with expansions, produce commission works, and use my art to add magic to the overall experience of my games! ~Acting~ I have a theatrical and film background: started acting on stage in 6th grade, trained theatrically in college, won the Improv category gold medal at an international talent competition, lived in LA for a time working as a signed Actor in the film industry, and have narrated four audiobooks. I make sure that my games are *everyone-friendly* spaces. (LGBTQ+, the spectrum of political opinions, religious/non-religious, etc.) If you ever want to play with me- send me a message. I'd love to connect. 'No veren', Chantry (ENFJ, Enneagram4wing3, Ravenclaw)

Often traveling! I have the opportunity to interpret on cruises for Deaf/HoH passengers. Thanks to these career benefits, I'm slowly experiencing and traveling the world!

How Lord Chantry runs games

I love story-focussed, character-driven, roleplay-heavy D&D, where Players are unafraid of putting the time, effort, and vulnerability into the collective story, and don't have to be convinced to bring their passion to the table (or screen)! I do great character voices and try to make the world itself, and the interactions within it, as immersive, diverse, and personalized as possible. I mostly use Theater-of-the-Mind, supported by maps and reference images, which for combat I believe allows time and space to craft a more vibrant and fluid combat interaction than when using interactive digitalized maps. My games are video camera/face required, and 18+ regarding content, tending to involve the gritty and traumatic alongside the magical and whimsical- however, all are welcome. I work hard to make the story about YOU, your Character, and the fantasy you're wanting to live when you come to the table.

I deal with rules issues by...

First, referring to the Core D&D rules established by the 5e and 6e systems, especially when resolving disputes between Players. Sometimes, I will utilize my almighty DM power to trump the Core Rules in the name of the story and gameplay enjoyability! The DM has final say.

When it comes to voices

I like to have as much fun, and attempt to add as much immersion, to the story as possible! I absolutely encourage Players to utilize character voices to add intrigue and color to their character(s), though this is not required. Do not under-value the power of tone, cadence, and style!

Lord Chantry's ideal table

My ideal table of nerds would be a socially-skilled group of tactful, creative, bold, intelligent, and kind people- excited to create unique, unforgettable characters and story while successfully interweaving their individual wants and wishes into the collective campaign game/experience.
