About

My name is Ben Erickson, and I have a confession to make: I’m a Gamer.

That’s right, I said it. I embrace the social stigma and make it work for me though.

All joking aside, I’m a 24 year old, lifelong resident of Fargo, ND who dreams of getting paid for doing what he loves to do, work on tabletop games. This blog strives to show my love for the games me and my friends play, discussing campaign ideas, projects I’m working on in the hobby, reviews of products new and old in the hobby, and several recurring [not-quite] weekly bits that try to traverse the various systems.

So, enough about the blog, and a little bit more about me. I currently live in a two bedroom apartment with the love of my life, to whom I am engaged and will be married to before this calendar year (2010) is over, along with our two “children,” a one year old Sheltie pup and a not quite two year old domestic short hair cat, who for some reason decided that I, the non-cat person, was going to be his human after the dog showed up. We also live with the constant spirit of Khensu, the other cat we had who was taken from us far too soon. I work the night shift at Sam’s Club, and try to game as much as I possibly can with the time I have when I’m not reading, writing, or sleeping.

4 Comments to “About”

  1. Just wanted to drop a note that I really enjoyed the Threat Assessment section at the end of The Powersource Podcast #33. I’ve had a recurring immortal Eladrin despot that I’ve used in different campaigns with different groups and the next time he makes an appearance, he’ll definitely be a Death Knight.

  2. Thanks Nathaniel. I’m glad you got some use out of it. I’ve got plans to get some examples written up and put on the blog, but at the moment I’m in the middle of some intensive planning for an upcoming Star Wars game. But keep your eyes peeled for a future post about it here.

  3. Hey saw your twitter bio “part time wanna be game designer”.

    I’m producing a web series called ‘Less Than Heroic’ about a group of RPG players, so as a fun side project we’re doing an Open Source RPG System and World building project at

    We’re just getting it started, so everyone is welcome to help.

    We’d love to have you!

    Stay Strong,
