About me
My name is William and I love running games. Honestly, I just want to play. I love running a game and seeing where the story takes us. I have been working on my own campaign setting and am looking forward to sharing it with others. I found D&D in the 8th grade and it did not take long for me to fall in love with the game. I have played pretty much ever since with different DMs and have learned from all of them. If you are interested in my campaign you are free to read it. Limited spoilers for anyone from the city and only a few locations for outsiders. Nothing to be concerned about. If you come across something that says stop reading I have warned you. On occasion, I have work in progress that I need to move to a private page. https://www.worldanvil.com/w/land-of-the-fallen-7Blandfall7D-masterwitch
GM Style
I like to run theater of the mind-style games with a balance of RPG and combat. I like to focus on the specifics of the character's background and history to allow the story to flow from who the characters are and where they have come from. If you're a bunch of scoundrels your adventure may start under the watchful eye of the thieves guild. If you are a group of academics you might start your day in the mage tower. Or you might be a group of goblins living on the edge of the city trying to survive another night. As long as the game is fun and a good time is had by all what more could I hope for. I was asked by a player why I don't use a VTT? Honestly, I find them limiting. Players can move throughout my world without being locked into a map. Sure I might throw a map up online or an image on discord but I find our imaginations are so much more powerful when given the freedom to move about a living world that can change with the roll of a dice and the whims of the players.

William has been very accommodating for us. We have a difficult time creating a time frame to do this game and he's been very flexible and accommodating to make the game happen. He took my back story, and in just a couple days created a game around my characters main goal. It was fun and fascinating. He has been creating characters on the spot, as we go to new parts of his world. They are interesting, and have a surprising amount of debth, considering he created them on the fly. When asking to get things he is fair, allowing us to get some things to help us in our mission, but not afraid to say no to something he feels is to powerful for our level. We kinda derailed things a bit going to find things we wanted for the upcoming battle, and ran out of time for the big battle, and can't wait to book another session to go into that battle. Despite that we did enjoy a different battle and plenty of fun interactions during our session. Give him a try, I am sure you'll have fun

You know you want to play, but it's hard to figure out where to start—the rules are complex, the worlds are vast, and you don't know anyone who plays. Who do you trust to lead you on your adventure and teach you how it all works? OgrePixieEater. He's put an incredible amount of thought, care, and effort into building a fluid open world that can adapt to anything you throw at it. I got a goblin drunk, danced with pixies, and made an ent giggle. He can handle newbies or veterans—and for the care that he's bringing to the session—he's worth more than he's charging.

The DM does a great job of rewarding the players' creativity, so it feels like the choices you make have an impact on the game. The theatre-of-the-mind gameplay never got confusing; he did a good job of setting the scene and answering questions players had about what they were seeing and what their characters accomplished.

I highly recommend playing a session with this GM. Talented storyteller and easily approachable for new and veteran players alike. Trust me, book a session with this guy you won't regret it!

This was my first online D&D experience and OgrePixieEater made it an absolute blast. The world he has built is vast in story and in culture. Throughout our session I was left wondering what was next and what reactions to my actions the world around me would have. The story was fantastic and we were invited to continue the session at a later time which sounds amazing. Our entire party had a great time and no one felt left out. We got through an early encounter and had ample time for roleplaying and exploring the massive world presented to us. Thanks for a good night, will def book again!
