Ben is a teacher, meaning he has spent years perfecting his abilities of performance, group management, task focus, and enthusiastic interaction. Ben masterfully builds stories around his players, leaning into their characters' interests, while still holding his cards close, finding ways to surprise his players with outlandish NPCs, dastardly villains, and challenging puzzles. He was my very first DM, and possesses the gentle touch of an educator who can guide new players to understand the rules without commandeering the game. One has the sense, truly, that anything can happen in one of Ben's games and yet Ben never loses his confidence because he rests on years of experience and a thorough understanding of the rules. As a player who loves both role-playing and goofing off, I always look forward to sessions run by Ben and hope to play many more!
