I became a GM because
I love building worlds with my players and enabling them to tell a story that's meaningful to them. Reading backstories and making them fit in my campaigns have always been a highlight. Every player loves to be in the spotlight, and I love being able to point it at everyone at my table.
I got started GMing...
around a kitchen table with a bunch of my idiot friends. We had never touched a TTRPG before but were determined to make it work. Everyone made awful characters that didn't work together, I was google searching monsters, and making things up left and right...it was a blast.
How Will runs games
Strong roleplayers will be the star of the show with me. I encourage you to try new things when you are a player in my game! Experiment with a voice! Give your character a narratively interesting flaw! Try a class you've never played! I am very partial to the idea of the pen being mightier than the sword, and a quick wit will often save your skin. If you are the more of a "stab first, ask questions later" type of player, be prepared to deal with the consequences of your actions. The thing I enjoy most about DMing is the ability to create a world that is intractable, have fun with unique NPC voices and personalities, and coming up with new homebrew stuff for my players to experience. My goal as a DM is to allow for the veteran player that has been around for their fair share of campaigns and the new player that just picked up a copy of the Player's Handbook to both sit down at the same "table" and feel like they're experiencing something new. I take pride in creating all my 1-shots and campaigns myself. You won't find me running Curse of Strahd or any other "boxed adventures" any time soon! I want my games to be a place for newcomers and experienced players alike, everyone is welcome here.
Will's ideal table
My table varies from game to game. For long term campaigns, players who come with a character with goals, a robust backstory, and even a few NPCs for me to incorporate into the game will fit like a glove. For one shots, more of my combat-oriented players will thrive. If you are willing to put yourself out there, be active at the table, and ready to immerse yourself in the story we tell together, you will always be welcome at my table.

I am for a vibe that's...
narrative first. I want you to feel like you are your character and act how they would. I want my table interacting in character as much as possible, making plans, building connections, and ultimately shaping the world we build together
I love it when a player
is excited to play their character. Nothing makes me more excited to GM then interacting with a player who is ready to be here. Get in character! Get excited! That's the kind of player I want at my table
