About me
I am passionate about D&D as a source of creativity, self-expression, fun, and community building. I am that nerd who is constantly trying to get people I meet to talk about D&D. I am a veteran dungeon master, with many years-long campaigns completed, both written adventures and homebrew.
GM Style
Hello, adventurers! Are you ready to dive into epic quests, unravel mysteries, and create unforgettable memories? I'm a Dungeon Master with many years of experience, and I’m passionate about crafting immersive, player-driven campaigns where your choices truly matter. Whether you’re brand new to D&D or a seasoned veteran, I welcome you to join the adventure. My games are all about player agency. You’re free to make any choice, and the world will respond in kind—whether with rewards, challenges, or unexpected twists. I also reward creativity and stick closely to the rules to ensure logical consequences, making every victory and defeat feel meaningful. Expect a mix of dramatic storytelling, strategic combat, and plenty of humor and silliness along the way. D&D is my passion, and there’s nothing I love more than seeing players bring characters to life and lose themselves in the drama and fun of the game. If this sounds like the kind of adventure you’re looking for, let’s roll initiative and get started!

I have had the opportunity to be a player with Ben as a GM and a GM with Ben as a player and thoroughly enjoyed both. He brings detail, humor and atmosphere to the game! An amazing GM for both new and experienced players.

I’ve been gaming nearly 40 years in thousands of games and Ben is one of the best DMs I’ve played with. I saw him run 4 amazing tabletop campaigns simultaneously with a full time job and active social life. This guy loves to game and he is great at it! I played in person games with Ben for over two years and only stopped because I moved. Our group was made up of grizzled D&D veterans playing since the 80s and he never disappointed us. In over two years he never missed a game, and always had several sessions worth of maps and props prepared in case we go off script. He knows the rules inside and out, excels at tactical gameplay, and brings amazing roleplay to the table. Ben excels at interpersonal interaction and easily deals with player and social conflicts smoothing things over and getting the game moving. If you are a new player Ben is the DM for you. He has run several campaigns entirely made up of new gamers. He is extremely patient and good at answering questions for players even when they don't know what to ask. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned player, Ben’s ability to create exciting, immersive adventures makes him an outstanding DM. Highly recommended!
