Great event with allowing me as a brand new player to create own level 10 character. He is transparent with crediting both his own work and work of others.

This was my first time using this service, and I really lucked out playing with Ben and the other in our party. We laugh, we gasp and we conquered. Looking forward to future campaigns with Ben.

I had an awesome time playing! This DM is fantastic for beginners, super patient and takes the time to explain things without making it feel overwhelming. The storytelling was top-notch, with adventures that were fun, creative, and kept me hooked. If you’re new to D&D or just want a great game, I can’t recommend this DM enough!

He's an expert at not locking the "This is a serious game, we all need to be serious" trope. He's also not a rules lawyer, and will listen to players if they have a request about an alternate way to do something.

I had a lot of fun with Ben. I played a one-shot with him and he was very flexible with me jumping in last minute. We had a great group with different play-styles and he was able to strike the balance between keeping the story going and giving everyone the space to role-play, explore their characters and move through fun combat. Great for a one-shot and I am sure a longer campaign would be equally fun. Thank you so much :)
