About Us
We run games that raise funds for a wide assortment of charitable organizations that represent causes we believe in, including all forms of healthcare, and spotlighting mental healthcare services for marginalized communities.
Our Pillars:
- Celebrate Inclusivity: We believe that TTRPGs should be a safe and welcoming space for players of all backgrounds, genders, orientations, and abilities. Our games feature diverse characters and storylines that resonate with a broad audience.
- Amplify Diverse Voices: We actively seek out collaboration with writers, artists, performers, and other creators from diverse communities to spotlight and feature their skills, talents, and creativity. We strongly believe that storytelling and gaming as a whole is improved by having creators from different backgrounds, orientations, and lived experiences at the table every step of the way.
- Give back to the Community: We run games that raise funds for a wide assortment of charitable organizations that represent causes we believe in, including all forms of healthcare, and spotlighting mental healthcare services for marginalized communities.
With these as our guiding principles, we are committed to creating exceptional tabletop roleplaying game experiences, and to fostering awareness and growth of both indie and mainstream TTRPG systems into communities that have not been traditionally part of the TTRPG collective.

Passionate about charity, inclusion, and sociopolitical issues, David adds his own knowledge and expertise to Kay's abundance, and together, crafts sometimes zany, sometimes chaotic, but always insightful information and advice about TTRPGS, and always engaging storytelling through original works from Chaotic Wholesome Presents. Prone to rants, deep-dives into research, making commits to his github, and building yet another farm on Stardew Valley.

When he and his friend, Jeff, got together at the gaming table, he finally found an outlet for all the settings, plotlines, and situations he had accumulated over the years. This gave him the opportunity to create a reality others could bask in, while learning and improving through the experiences and choices they make.
