About me

I've been GMing for 15 years. I write published adventures on the DM's Guild and make new tabletop games. Most of my D&D adventures are set in a shared homebrew world with a history largely shaped by the players.

Bill is hands down one of the best GM's I have ever had the pleasure of playing with. His world building is detailed, creative and thought provoking. The way he runs his game is exciting and fun. And Bill is great on the fly. A lot of GM's have a hard time straying from their scripted story, and as we all know, the players hardly ever do what the GM expects. And when that happens bill never misses a beat. Another thing that Bill does in his long term campaigns is give the players the options to choose their fate, meaning he allows them to choose what adventure they want to do next. Do they want to go to the taverns and hunt down the spy for information? Or would they rather follow a lead to rescue a lost band of merchants? No other GMs give the group that kind of flexibility in a 5e game. Bill also does amazing voices for his NPCs. He is very animated and engaging. It makes for a really fun game. Bill is also great at reading his players. if you want to be animated and engage in the role playing Bill will guide you along. If you are not a strong role player and prefer to be mostly a combat person then he will allow that. Bill's games are also very safe and inviting. You will never feel unwelcome. If you are interested in a fun and engaging game please consider Bill.

I've played D&D for 15 years with several different players groups and DMs. Bill still remains the best out of all of them. He's flexible and creative in a way that makes things fun and ever changing. He not only goes with the flow of what players decide, but fully embraces it into the story as it twists and turns in a way that feels natural. His NPCs are colorful and lively, with great voices. Bill adds in extra dimensions occasionally too like puzzles, riddles, and games within the game that can be really satisfying as well. I also like the balance of diplomacy, adventuring, and fighting he mixes - so things never get stuck in a lull. Play with him!

Bill is a terrific DM. Really good world-building; excellent and fun-voiced PCs. What's really fun about Bill's games, though, is that he rolls with whatever his PCs want to do. If you're a new player and not comfortable with the rules, he can help figure out what to do. But just as important, if your party has a ridiculous plan to achieve the adventure goal, he's flexible enough to facilitate it.

Bill is a great DM. I was relatively knew to DND when I joined his campaign, he made me feel comfortable to join in the roleplay and brought me up to speed on the different rules and such. He built such a great world that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Our party had a large impact on the in game world and our story revolved around those shenanigans. Bill is excellent at improv and will take your crazy idea and run with them. 10/10
