DRAGONBANE ~ Secret of the Dragon Emperor
Dragonbane | One-Shot
About the adventure
1,000 years ago, the prophet Azrahel Koth summoned the vile demon Sathmog to ravage the world. His dark reign was ended by the dragonriding hero, Eledain, who rallied the ancient dragons to his cause. Before his death, emperor Eledain forged the legendary sword Um-Durman using a fragment of his soul. But this great treasure was locked away and its location lost. They say the key to opening its vault is the Dragon Statuette. Rumours of Um-Durman have brought you to the Misty Vale, where by chance you ran into a dying adventurer. With his last ounce of strength, he handed you a map, and whispered: "Please... find the shards... of the Dragon Statuette!"

Fantastic DM. My first one-shot and first experience with Roll20, and he made the process seamless. Story building was great and threw in some entertaining character twists that only built on the world he had created. I really enjoyed his style and, although we played RAW, there was a certain Rule of Cool when it came to the major fights. Highly recommend for all skill levels!
Great DM. He listens and incorporates different ideas for your characters' background. He listens and makes fair judgment on rulings for combat encounters. He allows for creativity of your character and the group to explore many aspects the game can offer. If you love a DM that creates a grand story of your adventures through great storytelling and recounts of past deeds, this DM will fit your style.
I joined one of Ben's one-shots playing Dragonbane and had a blast. Even more impressive - I'd gotten the time wrong and he and the other players were super-patient and got me up to speed and into the story quickly. He shared some of Dragonbane's unique mechanics quirks as we went, but kept it light enough and woven into the story, so we were able to keep the sense of adventure. I can easily recommend others try his campaigns and look forward to playing with him as GM again.
Great experience. DM is nice to beginners and does know how to control the difficulty while making sure the fight is fun. I am not a talkative person, so it might be awkward if the DM doesn't know how to deal with this situation. Fortunately, anyone like me won't face any problems like that in his game.
