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.

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.

I'm only a few games into a new campaign with Ben. So far he has gone out of his way to make every player seem included in the overall story while also making individual moments not take forever but feel impactful. The session is def one of the highlights of my week. Great DM!

The DM is very flexible and able to manage when things do not go predicted. He allows for your dungeons and dragons character to develop, be a part of a unique fun story, and it’s in a way that does not conflict with team cooperation. Great story telling and fun voices.

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.

Ben is a great DM! This is my first dnd campaign and I'm still learning about dnd. Ben has been very helpfull and patient. Whenever I have questions, he is always willing to help and explain. His worldbuilding skills are really amazing and I would highly recommend him as a DM

Table feels relaxed allowing for you to really play. He still respects the rules while never letting them overly weigh down players. Best part has plenty of role play segments which honestly feel natural to the characters.
