Chris Maher

Game Master
5.0

Hi there! I've been running ttrpgs for over 15 years now, including afterschool programs and professional team building events. Most of my experience is with D&D 3.5 and 5e. I prefer to run homebrew adventures in my own setting, and I focus a little more on roleplaying than tactical combat. Experienced players and newcomers to the hobby are equally welcome 🙂

If there are no open spots left for my games, send me a message and I'll let you know when I schedule a new one-shot or campaign.

Weekend onsite adventure in Iluria!

August 4, 2025

Chris and I arranged a two-day (12 hour) 5e one-shot in his bespoke setting of Illuria. There were 8 players connected by various familial relationships aged 13 to 50+. The campaign was exciting and Chris made sure that it would be resolved satisfactorily within the time alloted. Something this group had rarely been able to accomplish. I highly recommend Chris as a flexible GM and experienced storyteller.

I learned a lot from Chris

September 27, 2024

Chris is extremely knowledgeable about D&D. We had many conversations about creating characters as well as the preparation work needed for an excellent adventure. I really appreciated his knowledge and guidance to allow me to shoot my friend in the foot with a bad roll!

Creative and fun for all experience levels

September 27, 2024

Chris is a wonderful GM! He has the great skill of bringing out the unique creativity of each player no matter what their experience level is. He is very patient and supportive with new players and has a great sense of humor that he brings to his campaigns. He puts lots of time and heart into his campaigns, demonstrated by his wildly entertaining NPCs and cool world-building details. He has a lot of background knowledge too! I would 100% play with Chris again!

Everyman's Game Master

I am a bit more of a novice to D&D, I’ve played a few times with different GMs (case in point, I thought they were called Dungeon Masters?), and Chris is the reason I want to play again and again. He has a way of welcoming newcomers and making them feel like experts on the same day. He is brilliantly informed on every layer of the universe loves to educate people on the world he commands – and really immerses you in the story and the moment. He does it with a touch of humor, but also leans into the fear and suspense (I believe he was a film major with a specialty in horror). He is infinitely patient, but firm as well, so you feel like you’re in a real (fantasy) world with real rules.

Anyone can play D&D with Chris as GM, from a beginner to a blood hunter

Fantastic GM

September 26, 2024

Chris is a phenomenal GM who puts a ton of time and heart into his games. He is thoughtful in his decisions and draws upon his years of experience when designing encounters and making rulings. All the while, he brings a positive attitude and empathy towards his players and their characters. Absolutely would recommend him!
