About Ben the DM
I have been playing tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) since the end of high school. Once I was in college, I began my journey as a dungeon master. For my friends, I ran three back-to-back homebrew campaigns of Pathfinder 1st Edition that formed a larger story spanning 3 years. Interspersed with this, I began DMing online using services like Roll20, Discord, and Skype to run everything from one-shots to official Pathfinder Adventure Paths. While Pathfinder is my specialty, and I have run many of Paizo’s official games such as Rise of the Runelords, Ruins of Azlant, and Council of Thieves, Lately I have also been running games in the ever popular Dungeons and Dragons 5e. I also love branching out into different directions. I have experience in Vampire the Masquerade, Starfinder, and Call of Cthulhu. Among all of these games, I have DMed a half dozen campaigns to completion, ran numerous one-shots, modules, and short three-session games, and played uncountable hours as both a player and a game master at the tabletop!

How Ben the DM runs games
As a Game Master I bring a variety of strengths to the table. I love roleplay and strive to include plenty of roleplay along side combat and other puzzle solving situations. Additionally I do enjoy the tactical aspects of TTRPGs like Pathfinder and D&D. My greatest strength as a GM is improvisation. At the core of every game, whether it's a pre-written adventure or homebrew I am happy to embrace the chaos when plans go off the rails. I strive to set that key balance between flexibility and structure to allow players the chance for their own shining creative moments.
