About me

> Want to explore a rich, vivid and responsive world? > Enjoy fast, dynamic, interesting combat? > Want the power to tell your character's story your way, going off the railroads to follow whatever goals you wish? > Looking for a gameplay experience where every NPC has a name, goals and a story of their own? According to Roll20, I have logged over 1500 hours (a lot of that is game prep, but still). I've also run at least four long-term campaigns in person. My philosophy is about fast combat, creative play and player freedom. With a modified 5e ruleset, combat and roleplaying are smooth, dangerous and fun.

Safety

How William creates a safe table

There will be a Session 0 for character design. Before Session 1, players can anonymously add to the Lines and Veils page in the campaign. This acts as a list of topics that won't be covered in the game. I encourage players to prioritise self-care. You are free to take breaks and raise concerns at any time.
