About me
I'm a veteran of old school and new school, and can run everything from a classic dungeon crawl, to a superheroic escapade! Given at least one session with the players, I can tailor a campaign to match their playstyles and needs and ensure we ALL have fun!
GM Style
I prefer a balanced playstyle, though roleplay slightly more than combat. I give my characters voices and accents and attitudes that fit who and what they are, and can handle everything from 'Theater of the Mind' abstract combat, to super-crunchy, full tactical combat. I try to fit my DM style to my players, but have run dungeon crawls, epic world-sweeping campaigns, and simple one-shot oriented games like an episodic TV show.

This was my first experience with both D&D and start playing.games and it was a terrific experience! William helped us through any questions we may have had about combat and mechanics and was extremely knowledgeable about the system. He had all of his GMing assets (including some really cool custom 3D visualizations of the map) ready and organized. He also brought excellent voices and performative expressions for all our NPC interactions, making rping all the more fun. At one point, he even added a visual filter to his face for one of his performances that actually gave me a tiny bit of a jump scare, which was totally appropriate for the moment in the story. Overall, a fun, comfortable, satisfying, and educational first forray into D&D.
Bill (William) is a very dedicated and passionate GM who puts an immense amount of thought and effort into the world, story, and characters (both playable and non-playable). He is more than willing to tailor his game to the wants and needs of the players. Using a mixture of highly descriptive theater of the mind and beautiful visual aids, Bill very effectively communicates the settings, characters, and enemies. He also utilizes animated performances to roleplay as the characters encountered. In addition, Bill is a very easy person to talk to, and he is incredibly accepting and understanding. Overall, Bill creates a safe, fun, and immersive game experience. He is a GM I highly reccomend!
William was great. He used lots of visual aids and unique voices to draw players into the game. He was excellent at teaching the rules and helped our game to flow. He was great at engaging players and was very creative. I looked forward to the game sessions and continuing our adventures. He was very organized and always prepared for whatever we threw at him.
