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.
