About me
Hello my sweet child, come into my hovel for some tea and we shall embark upon mystic worlds untold. As your guide, friend, enemy and lover I shall do my utmost to ensure a safe adventure, for you at least, no promises for your characters. I work a lot with horror themed campaigns but do my best to ensure that we do not touch on any sensitive, triggering or otherwise undesired material. So take a seat, grab your math rocks and let us begin.
GM Style
Starting from the beginning I want to ensure a safe space to explore large ranges of emotion. I gather any triggers, sensitive subjects or otherwise to try and make as inclusive an environment as possible. Starting from the low levels I like to foster a strong sense of Roleplay, the early quests I try to modify or build them to give you time to explore the world without being squished. I do my best to create fun, interesting and memorable NPC's. For combat I am strict that when it's your turn you are the one playing and other people can't try to influence you, but taking time in or out of game to strategize with you on how best to maximize use of your skills (ie pairing a rogue with a fighter to ensure both always have advantage on attacks and the rogue then always has their sneak attack damage) is a big part of what I love doing. I really like working not just with my players but also with the characters you've built. I love quirks like a strong wizard or a smart barbarian and how that can influence the game.

William is a patient, fun DM that allows you to spend your time in world however you choose. He isn't in a rush to get you to somewhere and lets things unfold at whatever pace is good for the story. That kind of freedom, for me at least, makes for a really fun and memorable game :)

Will is absolutely incredible at building a story, animating the characters he's impersonating, and encouraging players to be involved in the making of the campaign and active gameplay. He invites and listens to everyone's feedback and is open to considering how everyone feels. He is patient with those who are learning how to play. What I appreciate about Will is how sincere he is about his love for the game. You can easily tell that he genuinely loves bringing people together to play. He is thoughtful and patient and wants everyone to enjoy themselves. DnD can be perceived as complex when you set up a character and begin to play that character in instances of roleplay and combat. It can be overwhelming at first, which is why I also appreciate Will's personal love for the game because he is prepared and ready to help anyone who is still learning how to play the game. I couldn't possibly recall how many times I've needed him to repeat a rule or reference - but even so he is so good about helping everyone learn and is very encouraging and celebrates moments of character and player growth. He's an amazing leader in this way. Anyone who plays with Will, will benefit from his personal and genuine love of DnD. They will be invited into an immersive experience of personal growth in and outside the game. They will have a patient guide who will be sensitive and considerate of feelings and curiosity. They will meet a friend and will have a wonderful experience that will introduce an exciting adventure to life.

Really encourages role play, and makes an effort to have every player included.

Will is absolutely such a wonderful GM. He knows how to make the game engaging and always cares about the players. He is always willing to give the players creativity, while making sure that they stay within the rules. I love having him guide our campaign around.
The Meditating Monk- Spencer
Knows the rules but allows for creativity to come from the players. Does a great job changing the moduals based on character background. Will always make sure you have a fun time, while being respectful and inclusive.

I played through Icewind Dale with Will. He is a fantastic story teller and makes every session really fun. I loved his voices and always feel like I can picture everything that’s going on. I was new to dungeons and dragons when I started playing with him and I absolutely love the game now. I also played a couple home brew games by him and his detail and creativity is amazing. 10/10 would recommend
