About me
Hey there! I'm Ben and I'm a TTRPG Gamemaster based in Denmark, but running games for an ever-growing group of lovely people from around the world! I've found that my interests in creating worlds and telling stories have translated very nicely into being a Dungeon Master; Embodying NPCs, thinking on the fly when players catch me off-guard, and tying it all together with music, character art, and scene-art are examples of some of the things I enjoy the most about GM'ing.

Creating your character
At Session 0 you will roll on the Discord server for your stats (with a minimum sum of 70). If you are completely new you are free select from a list of characters I have already created. Although the backstory is heavily encouraged that you make yourself. The characters should be, while potentially flawed—either (a) actively heroic; or (b) a sociable, cooperative character who inevitably and actively begins growing towards heroism within the first five sessions.
By joining you affirm: You're 18+ You're a cool person and won't engage in any transphobia, racism, ableism, etc. You're down for some horror and a bit of silly shenaniganry
What to expect
Preparing for the session
