Added DiffLines:

The Adventures of [Insert Name Here] is a play-by-post roleplay on Franchise/TheWillowMythos forums. It revolves around the main character, [[PunnyName Ben Dover]], as he traverses the universe in search of adventure.

Ben is an odd individual, and his adventures are often more than a little comical. When he finds he gets a mysterious phone call from a mysterious person, he finds himself pulled throughout the mulitverse along with four other people. Together, they explore strange worlds, desert oases, and planets full of cats. They encounter love, hate, rivalry, personal challenges, tests of character, monsters, death... And the entire time, Ben is helped along by a mysterious figure who never shows his face and guided slightly by a mysterious being who only shows its voice.

The game is now over, and can be read [[http://willowmythos.b1.jcink.com/index.php?showtopic=53 here.]] Now has a prequel, starring Theodore Elfred and his team of elves as they traverse the nine worlds of Myth/NorseMythology, which can be played [[http://willowmythos.b1.jcink.com/index.php?showtopic=103 here.]]
