Time is a game played beautifully by children.

Benjamin is an administrator of this wiki. He also hosts it. He is one of the regular GMs for the group. He is a good friend to one and all.

Planescape Nights, a break from the more experimental and artsy campaigns to take a trip back to a simpler time when adventurers were adventurers and we all knew what alignment we were.
The Emperor Seldon Plan, a prelude to a fantasy campaign in construction. The players wake up having lost their memory, and investigate their own nature and growing powers.
Facilitated many games of Microscope. Yes, technically there is no GM in this game.
Dr. Prologue Trek: A Star Quest Odyssey to the Future Wars. A science fantasy set in a custom universe, using a free-form system loosely based on Top Secret. In this adventure, a set of rag tag players roam the galaxy seeking profit and fun.
A fantasy game set in a custom world using D&D 4th Edition. The players investigated the strange causes of wars, disasters, and the undead rulers of the human empire.
A fantasy one-shot using D&D 4th Edition. The players deal with some goblins or similar in this one-shot used to test out 4th ed.
A fantasy campaign set in Forgotten Realms using D&D 3.5. The players are recruited by a cleric and a paladin to assist in the battle against an ancient evil.

Some things that may affect my games.

I'm reading up on Burning Wheel and a lot of the ideas in that system are looking interesting to me right now.
I tend to improvise a lot more than other GMs. It seems to work well.
I want to find ways to incorporate audio into the gaming experience to set the mood.
Expect experimentation.
Recently I've had a lot of exposure to European history, especially Rome, England, France, and the German speaking countries. This might weigh a lot on how I design cultures and political entities in my games.
I've also been learning Old English and gotten interested in some bits of linguistics. I promise not to invent a language and make you learn it, I am no Tolkien.

Rule Zero: "Roleplaying games are entertainment; your goal as a group is to make your games as entertaining as possible."
- Corollary to Rule Zero: "The Game Master can override any published rule at any time and for any reason."
