About me
My name is Ben and I've been GMing TTRPGs for over a decade now. I'm a regular cast member of Technical Difficulties Gaming Podcast (https://www.technicaldifficultiespod.com/). My preferred systems are Powered by the Apocalypse (Blades in the Dark, Monster of the Week, FIST), d100 horror (Mothership, Call of Cthulhu, Unknown Armies), and GUMSHOE (Fear Itself, Night's Black Agents, Trail of Cthulhu). I also love trying small story games that I find on itch.io. I'm LGBTQA+ friendly and I don't accept any Nazi shit at my table.

Creating your character
We'll just be using standard Mothership character creation. The instructions are all on the character sheet and will take just a few minutes to complete.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I'll send out a PDF of the Player Survival Guide and an invite to my discord. That should be enough to make characters.
What Ben from TechDiff brings to the table
It will mostly be over voice chat and I'll play some ambient music to set the mood.
