Ben is not only a wonderful storyteller but fully includes character backstories, making every player feel like the main character. He implements all sorts of mini games and makes sure all major choices have a lasting effect on the beautiful and immersive world he's created. It's always a pleasure to play in one of his games! If I could tick off every single option, I would!
I cannot begin to describe how incredible Ben is as a DM. In addition to being one of the funniest people I know, he is also incredibly welcoming of all people and play styles and creates a world and story that you contribute to in meaningful ways. It's like the opposite of railroading, and somehow he still makes sure everything stays cohesive and the story doesn't derail. Being at his table is always a delight.
If you love in depth world building, a safe environment, and an all around fun experience Ben is the DM for you! Ben’s campaigns are the perfect balance of staying true to the game and its mechanics, but also allowing the occasional unhinged ideas! Thanks for letting me light that meat cart on fire and using it as a weapon Ben!
I have become a stronger player with Ben at the helm. There is no one I trust more in the GM seat. Ben seemingly without effort, blends character backstory, world building, and adventures together beautifully. His greatest strength is his eagerness to bring players of any experience level together, making everyone feel comfortable to engage and play with the world around them. Not only does he build super fun and wildly original stories, his NPC game is on point. From voices to real-play improv, he never falters. Get ready to laugh your butts off and also weep and maybe die!
Ben is truly a fantastic GM. He balances building thoughtful worlds while allowing players creative reign and freedom excellently, all while simultaneously crafting genuinely moving, well woven stories. I've played in one-shots and full campaigns with him, and each one has been a delight. Not only because he's a strong DM, but because he is just as committed to learning and growing his own skills as he is to the story and table itself. Highly recommend playing with Ben!
