About me
I am passionate about crafting stories, especially when they are lived and told firsthand by the heroes themselves—by YOU. Every great narrative revolves around heroes and the actions that define them. As your Game Master, I am here to help you tell your story and discover who your hero truly is. I specialize in running pre-written campaigns, leveraging their rich group dynamics to create unforgettable experiences. While many have embarked on the Lost Mines of Phandelver, none have lived through the unique tales we create at our table. With extensive experience running numerous campaigns from start to finish and thousands of hours dedicated to one-shots and connected short story arcs, I continually strive to enhance the storytelling experience for my players. Dynamic Adventures: From complete campaigns to short, connected arcs, each session is designed to push the boundaries of storytelling and provide a memorable experience. Collaborative Storytelling: I believe in the power of group dynamics, ensuring that every adventure is a unique creation forged by the entire team. Heroic Growth: Together, we will explore, adventure, and reveal the true nature of your heroes. If you want to be part of a storytelling team that grows together as a unit, there is always a spot at my table. Join me, and let’s create legendary tales filled with epic battles, cunning puzzles, and moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.
GM Style
I love immersing my players in the game. Character voices, ambient sound, and music are integral to making us feel like we’re truly there. I run games Rules as Written (RAW), but I embrace the Rule of Cool when it extends what your hero can do and adds to the story and fun. Group storytelling is my forte—helping heroes grow both as individuals and as a cohesive unit. I believe in the power of shared narratives to bring us together, and while I love a good laugh around the table, I also cherish those moments where we’re moved to tears by the unfolding story. The storytelling doesn't pause when combat begins, and the excitement continues well beyond the battle. I take pride in weaving the narrative with your actions, turning you into the hero of our tale. Together, we’ll truly feel the essence of heroism and the adventures we create.

WOW!!! This was my 3rd time playing DnD, and this was the most fantastic experience! Ben is a great storyteller and pulls you into character with a grand opening exercise! MY FAVORITE DM by a MILE! If you have wondered about the impact of a great DM on your experience... You will no longer wonder after allowing Ben to guide you along your journey!

Ben is an incredible storyteller, he not only incentivizes creativity but he rewards it. It was an entertaining session and I hope I can have a second one in the near future.

Ben is a beautiful story teller who created a lovely experience where myself and my party explored, fought and bested a Red Dragon in the most satisfying of ways. Highly recommend him to any player new or experienced.
Dan
DM Ben is an awesome storyteller. He really knows how to make everybody feel a part of the story and focuses a lot on immersion. Definitely recommend trying out his games.

Was amazing at setting the scene and making me comfortable since this was my first time playing online. I would recommend him to anyone interested in having a good time.

Ben was patient, creative, and an awesome guide for both experienced and new players. A DM who's goal is storytelling and entertainment. Flexible, realistic, and focused on the story of each character. Will be looking for other adventures hosted by Ben.
