About me

I love TTRPGs and I love sci-fi. I am a fun focused, map heavy GM who likes to see his players survive. Mostly. I will play anything. I will run any campaign as long as i have enoigh time to properly prepare, my wheelhouse is Torg Eternity, World of Darkness, and Battletech/Mechwarrior (all your mid 90s books really) I have been playing since before computers, but I build most of my games on Roll20.

GM Style

My style is fun focused. My early TTRPG experiences taught me that communication and collaboration supercede conflict and chaos. I am an improviser in Chicago. So expect lots of bad accents and character voices, and the most important rule is always "yes, and". I tend to be map heavy. I try to balance sessions and campaigns to be 65% role playing, 35% combat and crunch. I prefer sci-fi, personally, but i can tell a great story in any genre as long as there are heroes to answer the call. I hope to play with you soon!!

Ben has an in depth knowledge of TORG and Roll20, and it showed! Our game was fast paced and exciting, with a chance to be real heroes against staggering odds.

Ben is not one to let rules stand in the way of his table having a fun time and telling a great story. Whether you've been playing for years, or you just got into the game, you will feel included and useful to your group. And you'll probably make friends too!

He integrated my challenging campaign-defining characteristic of having a flying ship it and made it fu. For the whole party.

He allows us to be creative and to make the story our own. He is one of if not the greatest Gamemasters it has ever been my privilege to play with
