About me

Thank you for considering me as your GM! I am a friendly GM who loves to run games, specializing in the play-by-text duet format. I'm open for custom games! This includes duets, couplets, and private group games. Message me on here to discuss pricing, scheduling, and your preferences. šŸ‰ I am a friendly fellow that enjoys telling stories with friends! I'm pretty easy going and can provide a safe and fun environment when you play games with me! šŸ’» I like to provide detailed and active roleplay to my players, giving at least one or more detailed posts a day outside of IRL problems. šŸ“œ A specialty in text-based games (Especially PBP) šŸŽ² I run D&D 5e, and especially Homebrew Settings ranging from Star Wars, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Fallout, Harry Potter, Warcraft, and many other unique Settings that are fun and interesting to experience! ------------------------------- šŸŽ² Want a private game? A duet? Inquire via messenger or on Discord at equinox8371! I am even open to mature roleplay!

Ben is an absolutely AMAZING GM who I’ve played with for years. The detail in his roleplaying and narration is top-notch, and he always stays true to the lore of the source material. If you’re looking for a game set in an established setting, Ben’s your guy!

They were very accommodating and clear with any instructions. I had a good and enjoyable time with them as we made a little game together.

Ben’s always really good with working with a player to integrate them into the world! He’s also good at meeting with people where they’re at and clearing up misunderstandings should they come up.

I played with Ben for awhile before unfortunately having to dip for reasons beyond my control. But he is a very fun and inclusive person, especially as a player. And very creative as well.

Ben does a wonderful job fostering a good space! Telling a story within the One Piece world together has been a joy thus far. They've also been very patient with me as well, this year hasn't been the kindest to me! You should definitely give them a shot! They do good work!
