About me

Hi, I'm Billy. I'm a professional illustrator and painter who happens to be super passionate about D&D. I've been playing D&D and other RPG's since the early 90's as a pre-teen, mostly as a DM just so I could facilitate getting my friends together for games. I'm a forever DM and don't get to play too often, but I also enjoy the creative aspect of being a DM especially in online play. I enjoy drawing up personalized tokens, custom maps, landing screens and even making some videos whenever I have the time and energy. Thanks, and any questions, just shoot me a line :)


GM style

First off I try to have an inclusive table, and do my best to keep everybody involved. I love rewarding player's creativity as long as it doesn't get out of hand, and I run a kind of cinematic game style. I love doing NPC voices as well, crafting custom soundtracks for a game, and injecting a good mix of humor and drama. I do believe in having consequences for actions, so when a player gets too reckless, things happen. There needs to be stakes at play in a game. When I'm able to run longer sessions I'd say my Combat to RP ratio is about 50/50.
