About Ben Rohl | Rohl 4 Initiative

I got into TTRPGs by first playing Open Legend and I fell in love with roleplaying characters, blasting baddies with magic, and exploring settings from our wildest imaginations! I quickly moved on to Dungeons & Dragons which it is still my favorite system. It didn't take long until I started Dungeon Mastering games and haven't looked back! As a Dungeon Master, I enjoy weaving tales for many of my own characters, as well as dozens of players into my rich and vibrant worlds. In those worlds you'll find powerful magic, gods interfering with the daily lives of mortals, dragons plotting, thieves gangs warring, and anything else you could imagine! So come, pull up a seat, choose your dice, and get ready to create some incredible stories!

I became a GM because

I wanted to create my own worlds and tell new, untold stories within them.

I got started GMing...

because several friends wanted to play D&D and needed a DM. I said yes, and still am the DM.

When I'm not running games I'm...

playing video games, reading, or napping. Probably napping.

How Ben Rohl | Rohl 4 Initiative runs games

All of my games combine a spread of combat, roleplaying, and exploration. I definitely do voices, and rest assured I will do my best to be consistent with an NPCs accent! I have an excellent knowledge of the rules, but I am not bound to them as I greatly enjoy the Rule of Cool playstyle! The best games in my opinion are when the players and DM build the story and world together through backstories, character interactions, and roleplay. I enjoy taking my players backstories and weaving a tale for you to unravel as you follow the breadcrumbs. It helps to build a more rich and full story as players and DM are more invested in the world they're playing in. If all that sounds wonderful to you, then I hope to see you in one of my games!

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

knowing the general rules or quickly investigating for specific answers.

Rules are...

the framework that define the world we play in, but if you have a cool idea you should definitely ask me!

When it comes to voices

expect there to be several as I have many options at the ready!
