Professional GM Services
Connection and camaraderie in the workplace are essential building blocks toward the success of any organization – and what better way to facilitate a close-knit team than through games that focus on team building, problem solving, and goal setting?
My name is Christa Hoeffler, and I am a Professional Game Master. I host in-person and virtual team building events through the medium of tabletop roleplaying games, and I would love to talk to you about booking a session for your organization.
What Are Tabletop Roleplaying Games?
A tabletop roleplaying game (or TTRPG) is a collaborative game in which a Game Master (or GM) guides a group of players through a story. Over the course of the story, players fight monsters, overcome obstacles, and solve puzzles. Think of it like an interactive book or movie, where you and your team are the main cast of characters, and your GM is the story's narrator. Each game takes place over the course of a few hours – roughly the length of the extended edition of a feature film – and can take place during a single session ("One-Shots") or multiple sessions for long-form stories ("Campaigns").
My Services
I offer games for 4-8 participants. Games last between 3 and 4 hours, and feature a fully interactive story in a medieval fantasy setting.
Single Session Games (One-Shots): $80/session for 4 Players (+$25 for each additional player over the first 4).
Multi-Session Games (Campaigns): $60/session (minimum 3 sessions) for 4 Players (+$20 for each additional player over the first 4).
All materials needed for play (dice, character tokens, pencils, digital/paper character sheets) are included in the cost of the session.
Anyone can play! No experience is necessary, and beginners will have just as much fun as veteran players.
Accommodations
I am able to accommodate both in-person and virtual play according to your organization's needs.
In-Person games will require a large table and chairs, preferably in a conference room, and can be located anywhere in Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, Prince William, Fauquier, and Stafford counties.
Virtual games take place via Discord (for verbal and/or video communication) and Tarrasque (a virtual tabletop). Both Discord and Tarrasque are accessible by players using only a web browser, so no software installation is required. Virtual games can include participants from anywhere in the world.
Sessions may be scheduled on weekdays after normal business hours or on weekends.
Qualifications
GM since 2017

Random NPC #136
A middle aged male tiefling with violet skin, black eyes, and straight, dark brown hair in a messy bun. He is missing a leg, and arguably a heart, given his "profession" in human trafficking. His friendly, carefree demeanor fools would-be good samaritans into one of his many traps.
