About GM Bill
I'm a very creative and high improvisation DM. I'm excited to see players go off the rails and figure out how to make a train fly. I focus on making the story interesting and providing the PCs with adventures that matter to them. I run weekly games at my LGS: Dungeons and Dragons, one shots for beginners; Borg campaigns, either Mork Borg or Cy_Borg sandbox campaigns. I have had the unique chance to gain experience with a variety of systems. This gives me a very large toolkit when looking for ways to resolve unique situations. It also means that I can learn to run a system very quickly. I love flavor heavy, indie, rules light RPGs. I use the story and rules extensions to help everyone through fast paced, hilarious, and exciting games. My schedule moderately flexible, adventurers are welcome to inquire

How GM Bill runs games
I love creative, think outside the box game play. My character voices are greatly varried but I also play in the OSR/3rd person style. I do not like spending 'story time' debating the system's rules or looking up missing details. I like trying new systems out and incorporating their best ideas into my GM toolkit.
GM Bill's ideal table
Slow paced and well shared. Shared joy is increased but shared pain is decreased.
