He co-wrote the graphic novel Deadbeats and adapted 'The Temple' for SelfMadeHero's Lovecraft Anthology: Volume II. His new game, Strange Stories, based on the stories examined in his podcast, is launching on Backerkit soon!

We had a great time chatting with Chris about his love of and work in the TTRPG scene, hearing about how he loves to explore all sorts of different game systems and why he wanted to create his own. He explains what his new game, Strange Stories, is all about, why it is perfect for one-shots and also new players, and tells us about a genius method they have developed to help prep GMs.
