About me
š Want to explore a rich, vivid and responsive world? āļø Enjoy fast, dynamic, interesting combat? ā” Want the power to tell your character's story your way, going off the railroads to follow whatever goals you wish? š§āāļø Looking for a gameplay experience where every NPC has a name, goals and a story of their own? According to Roll20, I have logged over 1200 hours (a lot of that is game prep, but still). I've also run at least four long-term campaigns in person. My philosophy is about fast combat, creative play and player freedom. With a modified 5e ruleset, combat and roleplaying are smooth, dangerous and fun.

GM Style
My GM classes are: Druid: Instead of relying on linear plots, I excel at creating living worlds for you to explore, influence and dominate. Sorcerer: I'm talented at improvising interesting, unique and compelling encounters. It's rare for players to catch me off-guard - if you go off "the script", then I'll change the story on the fly. Taken together, you'll enjoy a gaming experience high in roleplay, verisimilitude and player freedom.

Chajiru
Will is great at telling a story through the characters, adapting to what the players say and do, and helping out when players aren't sure of the rules. He can guide the story to a predetermined destination or let it go off on a tangent.
Shushect
Will is a wonderful DM. He is very attentive to his players, and provides patient guidance for beginners, and rich storytelling for more advanced players to sink their teeth into. He is also a great storyteller and is adept at moving the quest along. I would highly recommend him as a DM!
James Anderson
Will has a great method of storybuilding, often setting up characters and events well in advance that only later do you realize that it was part of a grand plan. He has funny and unique characters and is very easy going with wild and crazy situations.
Daniel Bourke
Will is always enthusiastic and effortlessly creative. He puts real time and effort into the campaign composition and looks to ensure everyone is having a good time.
Kjarirvar
Will is a talented and experienced GM. He's particularly good at engaging players of all types - no one is left out!
