About me
"As you step into the candle-lit tavern, your senses come alive. The smell of alcohol soaked wood. The echo of your footfalls on the stone floor. The slight temperature change. You want nothing more than something to clear the dust of the road from your throat. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust, and as they do you see a man behind the bar, absently polishing a cup. He stops and motions you closer with his eyes." Hello. My name is Chris, but you can call me Cap. I am a DM/player with five years of experience in the 5e system. My favorite aspect of TTRPG is the collaborative story telling. While rolling tons of math rocks and battling monsters is amazing, being a part of an overall narrative that veers off into unexpected and surprising ways is pure chef's kiss. I pride myself on running a fun and welcoming table. Everyone from first timers to seasoned vets have seats with me and I am always available to my players for questions and comments. So, brave adventurer, if you would kindly speak to the tavern keeper. He is in desperate need of your talents.
GM Style
I personalize my games for each group. Are you an actor at heart? I use character voices and improv skills to create living, breathing scenes with your character. Prefer rolling dice? My combats are tough but fair and can last entire sessions. Do you like to think outside the box? I live by the rule of cool and work with you to reward creative solutions. "It's DnD. You can TRY whatever you want".

Cap is a great GM. Very knowledgeable about the rules, but also gives leeway for his characters so they could do some cool shit. Works with his players to tell their story while in game. I highly recommend him as a GM.

Cap is an awesome GM! This is my first campaign with him and I’d love to do more. He keeps a great balance of RP and story while still keeping us on our toes with some hefty combat. Each session is a blast and I look forward to Wednesdays each week because of it!

Cap is awesome! His games aren't easy...he likes to challenge his players, but he gives players the freedom to create situations and characters as they want (within reason). Always a good time!

If I could say one thing about madcap it would be that he knows how to keep the game fun and moving along at a pleasant pace. Good mix of combat and roleplay.

Cap is hands-down the best GM I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with. They’re organized, creative, and always bring the perfect balance of fun and challenge to every session. Their storytelling is top-tier, and they have a real talent for making each player feel seen and involved. Whether it’s epic battles, heartfelt character moments, or just hilarious chaos, Cap makes every game unforgettable. Total legend
