About Ben Fraser

20+ Years of Immersive World-Building & Epic Adventure I began playing TTRPGs in 2003 and was immediately hooked. Since 2004, I have been crafting intricate TTRPG campaigns where player choices leave lasting marks on the history of the realm. I started playing Holy Lands, but quickly switched to D&D 3.5, and am now a veteran of D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder 1e.

How Ben Fraser runs games

Step into a world that feels alive. I specialize in creating deep lore, unique pantheons, and vivid mental imagery that makes every session feel like a cinematic experience. What you can expect at my table: Living Worlds: Lore that reacts to your backstory and choices. Tactical Depth: Challenging, high-stakes combat designed to reward creativity. Emotional Stakes: Fully-realized NPCs with their own motivations and voices.

Rules are...

great for sparking character and tactical ideas, and setting clear expectations of what players and NPCs are capable of! However, the end goal is fun, and the messing with the edges of what is possible is often part of that.
