About the adventure

Before Skywalker, before the Empire—before the galaxy was divided between Jedi and Sith—there were countless stars burning in the dark. In this forgotten age of hyperspace exploration, ancient empires rise and fall in the shadows. The Republic is young, the Force is mysterious and unstudied, and the Outer Rim is wild and untamed. You won’t find familiar names here—only the chance to write your own legend.

About me

Hello my name is Ben, Benji or Benjamin, whichever one you went to call me. I have been DMing for roughly 7 years now, and I believe that everyone deserves to at least be able to enjoy sitting back imagining a world based on sci-fi or fantasy, talking down the bandits, fighting the Big Bad Evil Guy (BBEG), or just going on an adventure into unknown lands and finding something fun. My dming brings a little bit of realism to make the fantasy more fantasy. I like to bring an open and friendly environment to my discord servers even if it's just sitting in voice chat and talking about character or systems.
