How Will Sikich runs games

I believe in the importance of player comfort and DM flexibility. The name of the game is fun. Role-play is strongly encouraged at my table, but players are welcome to take things at their own pace. That said, I strive for immersive role-playing and storytelling. I aim to create a tabletop experience that gives the player a sense of agency and deep engagement in their games. At my table, player decisions and preferences matter. My main goal is to ensure that all of my players feel welcomed, safe, and prioritized.
