About Wilks

Hello everyone, I go by Wilks. I have spent my time since 2017 offering and running games in the DnD 5e format and have completed very long and successful campaigns such as Rime of the Frost Maiden, Out of the Abyss and Call of the Nether Deep for some examples. I love RPG's and the story telling aspect of them and I enjoy engaging with my players and ensuring that they have the best time possible that I can give. As for me I am a 38 year old veteran with two kids. My son that is special needs and a daughter. I am also married as well to a loving wife. If there is anything more about me you would like to know, feel free to ask.

I got started GMing...

I got started GMing in 2017. I was introduced to DnD through a Role playing group playing Ark Survival the video game. From there, I decided to try my hand at GMing and found it to be very enjoyable. What I enjoy about it is telling a story and seeing it unravel before the players.

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

When I am not running games I am preparing sessions, watching fantasy TV shows like Game of thrones and the like. I also play RPG video games as well like Baldur's Gate 3 and other games like it to blow off steam.

How Wilks runs games

My GM style is as follows. I enjoy a mix of storytelling as well as providing combat encounter, so a 50-50 mix of things. Although I do not force encounters when they do not make sense for them to be. I also do not roll on tables for encounters as I find that to be boring, I tailor encounters in a story telling aspect that leads to engaging combat scenarios. When it comes to storytelling, I like to engage with all my players, and I try to do voices for npcs although I am not a professional voice actor that I will say upfront.

I prep by

I prep by making notes for myself and a general guide for what the players may do and encounter. Although no plan is perfect and I do improvise when needed as well.

Rules are...

I do run my games according to the rules as written although, I have been known to go by the rule of cool as well so that players have cool moments.

Wilks's ideal table

My ideal table is where the players engage with the world setting and npcs that are presented to them. That way everyone can have a great and meaningful experience and something they can remember for a long time to come.
