About me

I love playing games! I've been playing rpgs since I was six, and have been GMing and LARPing since high school. I did a lot of theater and improv in school and college years. When I run a game, I do my best to make sure everyone has a fun and challenging experience that tells a great story.

GM Style

Role-playing, tactical combat with maps, Theater of the Mind, its all good. I love switching up my style to suit what the group needs. I like to make sure I know the rules so I know when it's better for the story to ignore them.

Will is absolutely masterful when it comes to making a world feel alive. Every NPC, monster, and locale, regardless of how big or small, were imbued with such life and personality. So many of my fondest memories in gaming have been their game, and it's a game I truly cherish.

Will was the first person that ever explained TTRPGs to me in a way that made sense, and sounded fun. He loves gaming, and that enthusiasm is clear in his story telling. He is very knowledgeable about rules & game mechanics, but our gaming sessions were always more about telling a good story than anything else.

Will is an incredible story teller! The amount of work that goes into his games and his dedication really shows . Whether it’s D&D, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu, or any other tabletop game he runs, he makes everyone always feel included. He is very much a “yes, and” and a “no, but” GM, and is down for listening to ideas, even the silly ones. 10/10, would recommend!!

Will was very inclusive of me as a first time player of Call of Cthulhu and made sure I understood the rules. He goes above and beyond to set the mood and tell a great story. He definitely allows for player creativity - how else would my southern bootlegger wind up In Massachusetts?

He really cares about story and making sure every player gets time in the spot light.

Playing with Will is easily among the best experiences you could ask for. Not only is he well versed in the story that is being told, he effortlessly incorporates player input and actions into the fabric of the story. On too many occasions, my party has taken a completely unexpected turn of actions and you would think it was scripted by how easily Will responds and rolls with whatever insanity we've concocted. He is patient and reasonable, presenting challenging but fair encounters, both social and combat. I always look forward to any game with Will.
