About Benjamin
Ahoy! I'm a professional DM and voice actor who's been playing for 11 years and running games for 9. At my table, you'll find games with an emphasis on roleplaying and fun, but that doesn't mean leaving your combat brain at the door either. For a taste of my standard British accent narration, check the Youtube link to my voice reel below. I consider myself a capable teacher of the game, having introduced dozens of new people to it over the years. To facilitate this, every adventure is tailored for the players - before each campaign begins, we'll talk through the kind of story you'd like to tell together, and how that squares with what I've got prepared. I approach D&D as a collaborative storytelling exercise, so while I have an extensive homebrewed world and adventures ready, every player has the chance to dictate the nature of the world they're playing in. As for the world itself, if you like pirates, Greek gods, elements of the Forgotten Realms cosmology, and a tone shooting for somewhere between Tolkien and Pratchett, I'm the Dungeon Master for you!

How Benjamin runs games
Roleplay is where TTRPGs are truly unique, so I seek to emphasize this. I reward engaging with the plot and creating characters that feel like they have lives outside of the main quest. I have several homebrewed mechanics that work to create roleplay just between players, and love to be surprised by players doing something completely in-character. This doesn't mean combat or exploration fall by the wayside, but that all elements work together to create one satisfying experience.
