About Brewdog (Ben)
Hello future dungeon crawlers! My name is Ben but everyone who knows me calls me Brewdog. I am a drama enthusiast and dice addict who wants to share every creative thought that oozes out of my brain. Be it a high-fantasy land caught in the midst of an arcane war or space guilds battling over a planet which produces over-priced cinnamon (maybe that one isn't mine). I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons for 4 years now and have been DMing for 2 years. I currently run two sessions per week (one with friends and one with a random bunch of adopted players) but now, I am finally expanding so that I can share these kind of adventures with you! My games are very story driven and highly influenced by character backgrounds and goals. I love seeing my table's characters develop over tragedies, laughs and shared hardship. Ultimately, I play to write stories together with wonderful people who wish to do the same. So, why not write this next adventure with me?

I became a GM because
I love facilitating a great story for players wanting to make one. Why write a book when others can do it for you?
When I'm not running games I'm...
Creating worlds that may never see the light of day. Unless...
How Brewdog (Ben) runs games
Being a theatre kid at heart, I love to engross myself into roleplay. Like a psychopath, I practice villain monologues on my daily commute to work and whimsical NPC voices whilst making dinner. Combat has a place on my table for sure so, don't worry murder hobos, fighting evil is here to stay.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
Denis Villeneuve. Epic soundtracks and breath taking shots? Yes please!
Rules are...
great as a standardisation. However, if you're on the cusp of doing something extraordinary and unforgettable, then the player handbook can look away for a second.
Brewdog (Ben)'s ideal table
Players who create driven characters and want to experience them through different story arcs. People who aren't affraid of dramatic flair and shared character suffering, laughs and triumphs. I always try to encourage roleplay and people to touch into their inner drama queen or king!
Featured Prompts
I love it when a player
responds to a moment in character that throws me off. To see someone so engrossed into the story and into their character that they react so emotionally will never not make me shed a tear.
I think it's a red flag when players...
cheat or abuse meta. My table is not for power hungry gods who wish to destroy everything in their path without any regards to the rest of the table. We all start from the bottom and rise to the top together!
