About William

> Want to explore a rich, vivid and responsive world? > Enjoy fast, dynamic, interesting combat? > Want the power to tell your character's story your way, going off the railroads to follow whatever goals you wish? > 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 1500 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. I write about D&D and games here: https://www.unboringdungeons.com/

I became a GM because

I love the freedom, spontaneity and creativity you best experience behind the GM screen

How William runs games

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.

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

Player freedom, maximised fun and rich, immersive worlds

William's ideal table

I like players who see TTRPGs as a team game, who seek to maximise the fun for everyone at the table - themselves, me and their fellow players.

Featured Prompts

I think min/maxing...

Is fine but unnecessary. I'd rather you play a character you want, even if I must give you some magic items to buff your stats to balance the party.
