About Me








Name: Ben
Username: The one and only. Dare I say?
Age: 30
Ethnicity: Mixed
Sex: Male
Religion: Christian (Nondenominational)
Languages: English, Japanese (Semi-fluent & learning), I also know some Scots Gaelic, Quenyan (Elvish), and Miccosukee (My tribal tongue)
Relationship Status: Single (Though generally unavailable unless I find I really enjoy someone).






Current Projects/Freelance work

  • I am a voice talent and script writer for Faerun History
  • I have a much smaller personal Youtube channel that I use to make videos on various subjects. Only been making videos for 2 years, but it's growing!
  • I'm the host of a Science Fiction & Fantasy Podcast where I interview authors of the genre.




Interests (Includes but is not limited to)

  • Writing/Reading (Love writing and I own too many books)
  • Video Games (Been a gamer for close to 23 years now)
  • Working Out/Martial Arts (Wing Chun/Oyama Karate mostly. Some historical swordplay as well.)
  • History (Military History is my specialty)
  • Zoology
  • Art (Mostly Illustrations. Used to be good. Am picking it back up)
  • Voice Acting/Singing
  • Tabletop Gaming (Started late in the game. Been at it for 3 years. I was the kid who bought the monster manuals and D&D books just for the lore for the longest time. I've played 3.5e, 5e, Star Wars D20, Edge of the Empire, PF, and PF2.)
  • Weaponry of all kinds
  • Anime (mostly action/shonen. DBZ & YYH being my favorites)
  • Movies (Action/War/Drama films being my go-to)
  • Music (Rock of all kinds, as well as historical folk songs, sea shanties, pub songs, a bit of classical music, etc)
  • Guitar (am learning to play, but being left handed makes it challenging)
  • There's more but if you care enough you can PM me :P




Roleplay F.A.Q.

  • Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Historical are my genres. Fantasy being my favorite and Sci Fi/Historical being close seconds.
  • Advanced / Nation / 1x1 / Casual (only in certain circumstances)
  • I generally write at the 'Advanced Level' meaning 4+ Paragraphs with good grammar.
  • I am usually busy with many projects and RPs, but if you wish to do a 1x1 with me, you'll need to present your case. Those I already do it with have my trust as a Roleplayer.
  • I love many, many fictional universes so me trying to list them all is an effort in futility!

@rivaanSatilla is adorable in every post. Can't help but say it
I'm in.
If it's simply me and Templar, I'll stop. If not, I'll post soon. So fellas?
@CaitVery cool to meet you. I love fantasy/sci fi as well. I'm a bit more into fantasy (which is all I'm GMing atm) but there's some cool Sci Fi games around to join. I can recommend a few.

Welcome! Hope to see you around :)
I've been GMing for a few years. I'm much more of a novelist and a story teller, but I've learned a bit about world building and various rules.
First thing is first. The best you can do for your RP is to be a good leader. Not boss. But leader. Be courteous but firm to those who have shown interest in your RP, or else you'll find yourself without players (unless they're already part of some friend group you're in, but let's not get into that). Make sure you lead them and guide them and bring them interest into your world. Don't think "I'll let them play around a bit."

You need a subject you're willing to be passionate about, and enthusiastic for. You need to be patient for players, but also ready to go and keep going. If you keep making RP's and then dropping them, people will notice and stop joining.

Interest checks and OOC title posts should be well formed, perhaps with a cool picture to grab player's attention, but also needs to be neat and precise, with an overall description of the RP you're making, and perhaps extra notes or various rules, or elaborating on how you plan on running it. Make sure to provide all the info you can possibly give, and always be ready for questions. Encourage them. Being a GM is a learning process just like being an RP'er.

Make sure when you make a character sheet (and you can find examples of them in many RP's. Lemme grab one for you from my own),



Make sure you put it in a [code] [/ code] tag, so bolded letters and underlined stuff can easily be copy/pasted onto their reply screen and they can just begin filling their sheets out.

Also, it's also good to make the same character sheet again without the code tag, and with each subject, write what you're expecting from dedicated players. Like, for personality, elaborate you want at least 2 paragraphs and explain yada yada stuff to you, and so forth.

Be punctual and on time for stuff. Don't go back on your word. I plan on making a world building guide for medieval settings at some point, but I'll give you the same advice I'll give players who want to incorporate magic in their world.

Ultimately how you want to do things is up to you, but if your rules are loose, at least try not to contradict yourself.
@AndreyichI feel no shame. I'm not supposed to be armored *puffs out chest covered in Khazalid Tattoos*
Happy Thanksgiving!
@JbcoolCould you answer my previous question, sir.
I'll be watching
