Hi, I’m Chris. I run, play, and design games like Dungeons & Dragons and Blades in the Dark.

I like all sorts of games.

  • Wizard miniature painted with Reaper paints

    Roleplaying games

    I run D&D, Coyote & Crow and Scum and Villainy online and in-person.

    Player feedback:

    ”Your GMing has been excellent... prepared... your ideas felt very imaginative.” - Alex (six-session campaign of Scum & Villainy)

    “The worldbuilding was fantastic. I loved the variety of NPCs and roleplaying with them.” - Dan (twelve-session campaign of D&D, so far)

    “It was a blast. And I love that you generously remind us of things we learned in earlier sessions that might now be relevant especially if it has been a while… you’re not just keeping secrets to yourself.” - Anthony (twelve-session campaign of D&D, so far)

  • Video games

    CalArts game design graduate pursuing graphic design specialization.

  • Two groups of board game players (the heavy table and the light table)

    Board games

    With a large collection, weekly sessions, and prototypes of my own, I’m fascinated by what makes a game easy enough to teach and compelling enough for players to want to come back for more.
