About me

I'm Chris, and I love doing this. I think rules are neat and there to be used and modules are fun and the product of a lot of hard work, but I've always been much more interested in the stories that find their way into being by virtue of creativity and dice coming together in fun and dramatic moments. That's why I love doing this. So come hang out, create a character, and discover what story they have to tell -- together. *** I sometimes post things on BlueSky. I don't really use any other social media these days: https://bsky.app/profile/christhewicker.bsky.social. **** I'm also available for events and games in the local Lexington, KY area!

GM Style

Collaboration is the name of the game, I love to integrate your ideas into a setting and I love creating worlds together. When I do run a module or published adventure, it's always going to be tweaked to the people who I have the pleasure of running it for. Here are the things I have the tools and experience to do: - Voices (warning, quality of voices will vary...often) - Tactical Combat (especially in 5e) - Theater of the Mind - Long Form Campaigns - New Player Introductions - Visual-heavy campaigns with lots of artwork - Improved situations to match the goals and actions of your party. - Ambient music and sound effects to set the scene.

Did an intro to Daggerheart game with Chris and it was great! Chris brought great energy from the get go, played in a way that included everyone, and provide that extra bit of narrative for everything that was going on that helped the session feel more like a story than just rolling dice!!!!

Chris is a great story teller. His improvisational skills are top tier and his ability to keep the story moving is spectacular. He was able to explain a new system in just a few minutes and get everybody rolling quickly. Great presence, great style.

Chris was an amazing DM! He walked me through and explained things if I was confused, roped me into an amazing one-shot with lots of fun voices and plot lines, and made me feel super welcome at the table:D Definitely will play more games with him as a DM in the future!
