About ArcaneBenji
Hello my name is Ben, Benji or Benjamin, whichever one you went to call me. I have been DMing for roughly 7 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 Big Bad Evil Guy (BBEG), or just going on an 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 an open and friendly environment to my discord servers even if it's just sitting in voice chat and talking about character or systems.

My favorite system of all Time is
D&D 3.5, it had a deep, mechanical complexity and gave me a real appreciation for the creative freedom systems can offer. Learning to run 3.5 taught me how to keep games flowing smoothly, even when rules get crunchy, and that foundation helps me run modern systems like 5e and Pathfinder 2e
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Jay: Funny, Great Detailer, Lunatic Nath: Panda, story, personable Hawk: creative, teacher and rule of cool Mitchel: funny, creative, and patient

When I’m not running games, I’m probably prepping for the next one...either that or hanging out on Discord, gaming, and chatting with my community.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
Mel Brooks; equal parts chaos, comedy, and cleverness, with tongue-in-cheek moments, twists, and just enough heart to keep it grounded.
Rules are...
Rules are fun, until they’re not. I use them to keep things fair and moving, but I won't let a technicality ruin a great moment.
When it comes to voices
I do voices with enthusiasm and variety, are they good? Not always. Are they memorable? Absolutely.
