About me
Hey there! I've been playing RPGs (primarily DnD) for about 10 years, and love creating a a fun and evolving story. I've been a DM for 8 years, love incorporating the characters into the world so it feels real, and run a good mix of RP and Combat. Can't wait to adventure with you!
GM Style
A story driven experience with balance of RP and Combat, and a heavy emphasis on making the characters feel involved in the world.

Storytelling
Honestly, I wish that I could put more of the tags on here because this DM knows the rules, lets you do cool things, has incredible visual aids, and is a master class story teller. I have been with several DMs that say "If you have an issue tell me," and then just ignore your concerns or argue with you. Ben does an amazing job of listening to feedback and will have a good conversation with you about why things work or don't for the story. I love the amount of character backstory that interweaves the story and makes me feel like my PC is actually living there. He is excellent for beginners and overall. I just can't say enough. If you have any doubts, don't! Choose this one.
Ben has been DMing for me and a group of other players for a while now, and it's been awesome. His storytelling is pretty freeform with an overarching story, and there's a lot of room for player agency. He's been more than accepting of player feedback and suggestions, and super accommodating with wanting to change characters, tweak a specific character, bend the rules a little to make playing a character feel better. He rolls well with the punches and actively encourages stupid ideas that would be awesome.
