About me
Hi, My name is Benjamin Sturge. I love tabletop games such as dungeons and dragons and enjoy sharing this passion with others. I hope I can help you utilize your imagination, develop your social skills, and be part of a team of like minded individuals. I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons since I was 12 years old, and been dungeon mastering for a large portion of the time since then. I enjoy working with others and have dungeon mastered for all kinds of people - young or old, new or experienced. I have played DnD with those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and other neurodivergences. Educationally, I have a background in data analytics, having acquired my B.Sc in Statistics and Economics and well as an M.A. in Economics from Memorial University. I have worked for universities, not-for-profits, private businesses, and governments. I spent time during my university years tutoring students.
GM Style
My style is a mixture of deep storylines, tactics-heavy battles, role-playing heavy social interactions, and well-developed world-building. I have been writing my homebrew adventures and storylines for years now and I am sitting on hundreds of pages. I like to share my stories with people, create an experience together, and provide an adventure that cannot be found anywhere else. We will make use of maps, tokens, art, and other aids as we play. Play will take place utilizing Roll20 for maps and tokens and DnDBeyond for characters. I prefer maps and tokens to the theatre of the mind. I have a Pro tier subscription with Roll20 and a Master tier subscription with DnDBeyond.
