About Bill White

I'm a communication professor and game studies scholar with an interest in exploring the art of game mastering. I'm offering an online version of the workshop I run at Gen Con for people who want to develop their GMing skills. I also run player-centered, narrative-intensive games that experiment with GM practice.

How Bill White runs games

I enjoy how the individual contributions of players work together to create a collective, shared experience for the group as a whole. So I invite those contributions, listen hard to the answers, and use them to move the action forward in whatever direction they portend. I'll use whatever game-mechanical procedures will help us visualize the action and its consequences, whether that's "theater of the mind" or tokens on a map grid.
