Ben
I’ve been gaming nearly 40 years in thousands of games and Ben is one of the best DMs I’ve played with. I saw him run 4 amazing tabletop campaigns simultaneously with a full time job and active social life. This guy loves to game and he is great at it! I played in person games with Ben for over two years and only stopped because I moved. Our group was made up of grizzled D&D veterans playing since the 80s and he never disappointed us. In over two years he never missed a game, and always had several sessions worth of maps and props prepared in case we go off script. He knows the rules inside and out, excels at tactical gameplay, and brings amazing roleplay to the table. Ben excels at interpersonal interaction and easily deals with player and social conflicts smoothing things over and getting the game moving. If you are a new player Ben is the DM for you. He has run several campaigns entirely made up of new gamers. He is extremely patient and good at answering questions for players even when they don't know what to ask. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned player, Ben’s ability to create exciting, immersive adventures makes him an outstanding DM. Highly recommended!
