How BWatford creates a safe table
GM STYLE: My storytelling style blends old-school charm with modern adaptability, tailored to the audience. I prioritize the spirit of the rules (RAI) over the letter of the rules (RAW) and excel at open-world storylines that allow players to explore at their own pace. I focus on character development through backstories and take the time to understand my players’ preferences to tailor my approach. Whether your group prefers action-packed adventures or deep roleplay and political intrigue, I can accommodate both styles. Thank you for considering my services. I look forward to embarking on an epic adventure with you!
