About me
Hello! I’m a GM that has been hosting adventures for well over a decade. My current love is Dungeons & Dragons 5e, where I’ve been hosting paid games for over 4 years now. My style of GMing is a friendly one, where I seek to help the players connect to the adventure in the way that speaks to them. Whether you want a brutally challenging dungeon or a fun roleplay night, I will seek to make that happen. The secret to this dynamic approach is to get to know each player, their character, and what that character means to them. I’m not your rival; I’m your teammate on this quest to tell your story. Don’t think this means my campaigns are walks in the park, though. When players want a challenge, I’m ready to bury some PCs, and my shovel has seen its fair sure of use. For reference, my favorite types of adventures to create are those with deeply immersive settings and memorable characters, such as Curse of Strahd or Odyssey of the Dragonlords. These give me a chance to build and flesh out a world of meaningful encounters, threats, and victories. The last thing I’d like to mention is that I entirely love the chance to teach games to people. Helping them to enjoy and draw the most out of storytelling is a special thing to me, and I take great pride in introducing people to the world of roleplaying. So whether newcomer or veteran, combat-grizzled or deep roleplayer, I’m here to make your adventure happen, and I can’t wait to meet you!

Creating your character
Players will be walked through making their character during Session 0. This will be assisted with Foundry's Character Creation Wizard. Additionally, players can request a character be made for them. This table has a large emphasis on comfort and a casual approach. To that end, players will be allowed to experiment with and revise their characters as much as they'd like. All relevant digital books will be provided.

Safety
How Bencompetence creates a safe table
Players will be sent a Trigger/Consent survey during Session 0. Absolutely any request can be accommodated and integrated into the game. During the game, we will use a virtual tabletop that allows players a chance to use any Safety Tools they wish. Additionally, there will be check-ins after every session to discuss any undue negativity or bleed. Given the potential topics within this campaign, safety will be an ongoing priority.
