I became a GM because

I like working with groups of people and I enjoy getting to see the story unfold in front of me. I am always eager to see how player choices will create a totally unique adventure!

When I'm not running games I'm...

Busy working, singing in choirs, and spending time with friends and family.

How Ben runs games

I deliver all three pillars of D&D—combat, roleplay, and exploration—tailored to what your table enjoys most. My philosophy as a GM is simple: the shared experience at the table is the heart of every session, whether in-person or virtual. I focus on the big picture, ensuring every player: Feels safe, supported, and engaged. Gets to shine and fully utilize their character’s abilities. Makes a meaningful impact on the game world. Collaboration is key—I work with you to create the TTRPG experience you’ve been looking for. Let’s build unforgettable adventures together!

Ben's ideal table

Ideally, my table is made of players who like each other, get along well, and are respectful to all people involved. My players and I tend to use humor and enjoy our time together. My games can be quite serious, but my players always know how to add some great humor in there! If you enjoy a friendly game that features player choice and a good time overall, this is the table for you!
