About the adventure
Misspent Youth is a game about young people standing up and fighting back against the system. In this game the GM and the players work together to make the sci-fi dystopian world and the oppressive system that controls it. This system is called the Authority and it is what the GM will represent and play as. The players are the Youthful Offenders, kids between 12 and 17 who hate the Authority so much they can't help but stand up and fight. This is a truly collaborative game where the players help craft the story almost as much at the GM. Join this campaign to help build an Authority you hate and then tear it all down with your youthful rage!

About me
I love TTRPGs! I have been playing D&D and other TTRPGs for about 15 years, I have been GMing for the last 6 years, and I have been GMing professionally for the last 2 years. I already work as a GM for three companies (Wizard Staffing Co, Rough Magic, and Chicago Role Players' Guild) but I wanted to expand my reach into the online world. In my years of GMing I have found that I really enjoy facilitating fun experiences for others and I love telling stories collaboratively. I went to collage to study acting and voiceover and I like to use what I learned along with my over 15 years of improv training to bring my stories and NPCs to life. I also use what I learned as an improv teacher to teach GMing workshops and offer private GMing coaching. I am friendly and respectful and so excited to GM for cool people!

What Ben Guest brings to the table
I just want everyone to have fun. I follow the rules when they are working to provide structure and I will bend or break them when they get in the way of the fun. I like to do character voices and use my acting background to make my narrations and descriptions as immersive as possible. This is an intense game, I will to make sure you feel safe but your characters don't.

How Ben Guest creates a safe table
We will discuss what everyone's Lines and Veils are in our session zero. During a session someone can pause the game with an x card by making an x with their hands. We will also take a break part way through the session and can talk about the session to decompress afterward.
