About me

Hello my name is Ben’ Benji or Benjamin which ever one you went to call me I have been Dming for roughly around six years now and I believe that everyone deserves to at least be able to enjoy sitting back imagining a world Based on sci-fi or fantasy Talking down the Bandits fighting the bbeg or just going on a adventure into unknown Lands and finding something fun. my dming brings a little bit of realism to make the fantasy more fantasy I like to bring a open and friendly environment to my discord servers even if it's just sitting in voice chat and talking about character or systems.

Has all of the resources and has literally bought them right then and there if there’s something he notices he’s missing. He’s spent his personal time talking to me about my PC’s, their backstory and how I wanna rp tying it into the world. He’s teaching me an entire new system that I’d have honestly been too intimidated to check out myself. He gives players the freedom to play who they want but will offer a hand if asked without a second thought. I recommend for veteran and new players alike!

I've ben playing in games with ben going on two years now and it's been a great time! He's very inviting to new players and doesn't get frustrated if you don't pick up on something right away. He sets the scene very well and he tries to incorporate your characters story into the plot without derailing it or anyone else story. Ben is a great dm and the players that join are pretty decent people too, im glad to have found him.

Where to begin, before I’ve played with Ben I was new to DnD and had one campaign under my belt and I felt I had a pretty good understanding of the system but yet with Ben’s help and patience I seemed to have learned even more and not only that he really takes the time to build a visual world which is huge for me to really feel like I’m diving in to some great RP. He lets players voice opinion on ideas and literally lets the players dictate what happens next by just being open to all crazy ideas and trust me I have tons but always seems to keep us in track and never stray to far from plot points which is another plus for me that each session feels like a story plot twist that you never see coming!! I can’t speak for everyone but I can speak for myself and I have really enjoyed playing with Ben so much as my DM I joined 4 other campaigns with him and each one is a different system whether is Star Wars, city of the mist, Pokémon or anything you bring up to him he really tries his best for his players and that’s really the main thing that got me to trust in Ben as my DM I highly recommend him to all. He really tries to make sure we players at the end of the day are having fun in anything and everything we can think of so thanks Ben for all the games so far !!!

He is always willing to have a dialogue inside and outside of games, and is super receptive to player feedback. He puts an insane amount of effort into building up these worlds he puts us in, and I am constantly impressed with the characters and world building g he does. Very welcoming to beginners. I’m very happy so far with how things are going ^^

Ben is a terrific DM great for new players as I was. He's very calm and patient, making sure everyone is having a good time. Ben is extremely creative with his world building nothing seems out of place and he puts a lot of thought into his NPC's and locations. He awards player creative and lets us try things that aren't always in the rules whether they work or not. Never had a game with Ben where I didnt have fun, his games are the highlight of my week and I'm always a little sad when there over and I have to wait for the next one.
