I became a GM because
No one else would do it, then fell in love with storytelling.
People are always surprised when I tell them
I used to do Parkour

How William runs games
*Heavy narrative, character focus and arcs, political heavy. *My jam's mostly story games and Forged in The Dark; *I run mostly low prep, laid back games uninterested in punishing player choices; *I encourage roleplaying. Doing voices and acting is not required to roleplay. *Weaker player options are traps for inexperienced players, so I might buff game options that are weak and/or dumb so that player choice is not punished. Players should be able to play cool protagonists!

I deal with rules issues by...
coming together with the table and trying to find a result that makes more sense and won't limit the fun of the game.
I prep by
Rolling stuff up, researching and keeping it light enough for improv, which I tend to prefer.
When it comes to voices
I sometimes do them but it's not a requirement. Roleplay is not doing voices, is stating actions in the mindset of a person other than you, even in 3rd person.
William's ideal table
Roleplay, interaction politics and schemes are what I love.
