How Billy runs games

- Focused (I try to get to the action and minimize silly table time) - Semi-simulationist (the world reacts to player actions in expected ways) - Out-of-the-box rules systems: Minimal house rules - Open dice rolling (fudging is forbidden) - Character voices are encouraged but not required - Patient and respectful of players of all skill and ability - Crunchy tactical combat can be fun, but shouldn't be the only thing we accomplish in a session - Smart gameplay is rewarded

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

Letting player characters get themselves into scrapes

When it comes to voices

Important NPCs get voices, otherwise probably not

Billy's ideal table

My table... 1. Gets to the action (let's not spend a session shopping in town) 2. Welcomes newcomers, especially first-timers 3. Collaborates and listens to players
