About me

Hi, I’m Chris — and I have a serious addiction to D&D. Since I first started playing around 2010, I’ve never looked back. I began GM-ing in 2017, and it quickly became my passion. With my friends, I helped grow our group to about 10 players, rotating GMs every week. One of my favorite traditions was hosting an annual awards evening where all the GMs ran mini-adventures — a night full of fun, surprises, and great memories. Originally from the UK, I married a South African and now run immersive D&D Weekends out in the wilds of South Africa. Check out what it’s all about at https://waterberg-dnd.co.za. I’m all about the rule of cool over strict rules, crafting epic, player-driven stories that really bring the adventure to life. My greatest strength? Off-the-cuff improvisation — but don’t worry, my worlds are rich in detail with pages of notes for every session. I can’t wait to share some unforgettable adventures with you!

GM Style

My GM style is very open-world — I’m not a fan of railroading players. If you want to explore an unexpected path, I’ll happily weave an intriguing story to follow you there. While I generally stick to the rules to keep encounters structured and fair, I’m a strong believer in the rule of cool taking precedence over rules as written. Almost anything goes in my games, as long as everyone feels comfortable and respected at the table.
