About William
Hello! I'm William, a queer horror author and creator of the fiction podcast Hello From The Hallowoods. I've been an avid RPG player and DM for over ten years, and I love the feeling that comes with sitting down with a group of friends to tell a story together. My games are inclusive, beginner-friendly, and focused on creating a fun and engaging story for each member of the party rather than following the nitty-gritty of the rules. Whether this is your first time playing an RPG and you don't know where to begin, or you've been playing games for decades, you're welcome at the table. I'm excited to meet new players, tell new stories, and engage with the internet audience in a new way. Let's play!

I became a GM because
I've always loved telling stories, and my favorite kind are the ones where my friends and fellow players help to tell it.
I got started GMing...
In 2009 with some games called Dragonraid and, quickly leaving that behind, Owl Hoot Trail! I would later be right on board in 2014 when the first D&D Fifth Edition books hit shelves, although I couldn't anticipate the many hundreds of hours I'd spend with it over the following years.

How William runs games
My style as a Dungeon Master is always focused around the story the players are telling. Expect us to focus in on your characters and the unique direction they bring to the narrative, and to encounter dynamic challenges that can be solved in more ways than just fighting your way through. I enjoy putting my voice acting skills to work voicing NPC's, and engaging in active dialogue with the players. Similarly, I love to create new settings, characters, and staples of the world to interact with - I have no issue overwriting the established canon of the textbook to tell a story that is unique to the party! We'll use Owlbear Rodeo to share world and location maps as well as battle maps when combat requires it!
