About me
Hi there! I'm Benji, a DM who aims to transform your Dungeons & Dragons experience into an unforgettable memory. From epic tales to heartwarming moments, I've been crafting immersive stories for diverse groups and age ranges since 2015. I work hard in the background to create a brilliant story arc for your character to ensure you live out those legendary moments you've always dreamed of. My campaigns usually move faster than normal, aiming to deliver tight storylines without comprising enjoyment, and you can expect to level up faster too. Laughter and logic coexist in my games, creating a comfortable space for jokes and serious decisions alike, where we mess around out of character but the world reacts realistically in character.
GM Style
I enjoy roleplaying and weaving stories with player's backstories, making them invested in the world and their characters. I also enjoy interesting combat, though I am lighter on rulings in order to give more epic moments and speed things up. I also enjoy voicing characters and creating fun NPCs for the player's to interact with.

Katie Mclaughlin
He perfectly blends serious and funny moments, allowing the band some tomfoolery whilst also being able to bring our attention to serious matters. He is incredibly creative and quick on his feet and adaptive when players decide to do something outrageous (which is often with our friends).
Rakarrir
Benji creates genuine and serious moments when the story requires it, but generally includes a lot of humour. Being able to joke with the other players and the DM makes the game a lot more fun and less pressurising :)
Nicholas von Buddenbrock
Benji really enjoys Dungeons and Dragons, but he enjoys the stories that him and his players are able to tell even more. He always gets you thinking about cool and creative ways that you can solve the cool and creative problems that he constructs. He always sets the mood with maps and music, and tries his best to bring the characters in the world to life with voices and unique personalities. He is open to discussion about rules, and will stick to what has been decided thereafter.
Gabriel Gibbon
Benji introduced me to DND and he is an absolutely fantastic GM. He is patient , explained the rules, guided my character development and created an incredibly immersive story. I hadan absolute joy playing and would highly recommend him to anyone from beginners to experts. He is dynamic , researched story well and creates twists and turns in stories that you would never expect. 11/10.
Matthew Nelson
If you like having fantastical adventures filled with creative and exciting narrative then Benji is your guy. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be begging him for another campaign when it's all over. If you're a newbie, he's well adept at explaining concepts and he knows his stuff to the T, very beginner friendly. Also sets the scene and does character voices sublimely. Strongly recommend
Sellzon
A great GM who really embraces creativity, story telling, and places emphasis on player fun as opposed to being brutal with the rules
