About me

My name is Chris, but feel free to call me Rogue on Discord. I've been a DM for over 25 years. I started playing D&D with 2nd Edition, and I have been enjoying 5th Edition since its release. I like a good mix of roleplay and combat. I enjoy doing voices, but I'm by no means a trained voice actor. Player agency is very important to me, so if the group wants to make a hard right turn and open a charm school, then I’ll run with it. I’ve been doing paid games for about four or five years now, and it’s been a great experience. Finding a good DM can be challenging. Here's what I will provide: - Commitment. Not just from me, paid games have more committed players as well. - Custom Content. - Reliability. I will not miss a session unless there is an emergency, and I will make myself available to you as much as possible. - Knowledge of the rules of 5E. - Experience. A whole lot of D&D over the years, the majority in 3rd and 5th Edition. - Acceptance. Everyone should feel welcome regardless of race, creed, or gender. - Fairness. - Music & Ambience. - Preparation. Being compensated allows me to spend extra time making sure I'm as prepared as possible to run your game.

GM Style

I like a mix of roleplay and combat. I do voices but I'm not a trained voice actor. I don't fudge dice, I treat them with reverence. I love setting up the pieces of the world and seeing how the players interact with them. This will often lead to new and unexpected developments which I find fascinating.

Great DM! I've played in a couple of his games and his characters and direction really helped us get immersed into the role playing aspect of the game. He's a fair, friendly, and inclusive DM. I would definitely recommend his games!

It was my first real D&D game, and Rouge was very thorough with things and helped us along, as well as the game was great and well paced. He is very knowledgeable and the campaign was fun , trying to draw from the players to build a great world. I was very happy with how we ended the game and I can't wait for the chance to play again!

Lorax has a good way telling crazy stories, more grim than most, making situations tricky to get out of, which makes them more the fun to let your characters truly shine. Mystery and suspense, action and a good amount of ass kicking makes his sessions fun every time.

Rogue is a terrific GM, friendly and teaching, he always brings a positive feeling to the table. Can build expanding worlds on his feet and in my opinion, is a master GM.

I've been playing Baldur's gate recently and it reminds me of the good times I had playing D&D with Rogue. Rogue did amazing job leading us through both module (SKT) and homebrew content. He skillfully brought the characters and world to life and encouraged each of us explore and develop our characters in any way we wanted. I can't recommend his games enough and I would love to play in one in the future.

My experience with Rogue was fantastic! As a new player he made me feel welcome and was super helpful explaining the system, the world, and my character's place in it. I loved my character and the story that we created together! 10/10
