Welcome to my humble page! I'm LackOfTrumpets (or just Ben); a pixel artist & avid dragon fan who enjoys designing games. I'm a TTRPG designer who makes games with weird and experimental mechanics! While I'm working on my big project (Extraordinary Expedition) I might make some smaller games for game jams. I hope you enjoy the bizarre roleplaying games I have made!
