About BillPlaysRPGs

Just starting out being a DM on StartPlaying. I love TTRPGs. They bring me a lot of joy. I love co-creating with players when possible, as it makes it so much more of an investment. I play: - D&D 5e - Honey Heist - Monster of the Week - Never Stop Blowing Up! - Outgunned - Brindlewood Bay - Indie TTRPGs - Masks - The Last Caravan & many more given the opportunity to read new systems. Give playing with me a shot! It'll be cheap or free, and hopefully fun with a touch of drama, emotional growth, and roleplay opportunities.

I became a GM because

I love to tell stories, especially with players that want to co-create that story with me!

When I'm not running games I'm...

Making games, creating music, running my TikTok page, and spending time with family. Oh, and working a full time job as a product developer!

How BillPlaysRPGs runs games

I love good roleplay and character interaction. I love allowing players the opportunity to develop their characters and their relationships with others. I like to share maps, photos and such on screen while playing, with a lot of "theatre of the mind" to fill in the gaps. I'm not a rules lawyer, but I do like to reference the rules and adhere to them where needed. I just want to play with more people! I play with friends on Wednesday night and we record it and I turn it into an Amateur Real Play podcast. The Wednesday Night Crew is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Come play with me!

My games focus on...

Telling a good story, players having fun and getting to contribute to world building through their character's backstory, and incorporating their ideas!

Rules are...

Used where necessary with the occasional rule of cool applied! I typically keep it rules light, but I am open to feedback if it's too light!

BillPlaysRPGs's ideal table

Table style is chill. Respect the player, have fun, and respect the rules but no rules lawyering! Let's use the rule of cool from time to time. I love when players fuel the game and the roleplay. I like when everyone feels that they can contribute to playing and having fun!

I love it when a player

Roleplays with another player for the sake of the game and story.

I think metagaming...

is okay from time to time as long as it is not used to cheat or break the game.

My table is not the place for...

People being disrespectful to each other, or SUPER extreme with graphic descriptions of sex and violence. No thanks. Some adult content is fine, but no one should feel emotionally/physically uncomfortable (outside of what their character may roleplay).
