Role: Writer and creator of Dungeon Mister
Joined: October 2021 (since the beginning)
Ben is the Elder Brain of the Dungeon Mister operation, commanding his minions of the hive mind to create excellent D&D content to brainwa… I mean delight the masses. He has a brain too large for conventional jars (though apparently this isn’t that impressive), but does put his vast intellect into creating helpful advice for players and homebrewing epic campaigns for his table.
Ben was nurtured into D&D through his teenage years by the epic tales from the Dragonlance books and his love for the Baldur’s Gate games. He spent about 20 years moping around waiting for Baldur’s Gate 3 to finally release and satisfied himself in the meantime by becoming a dungeon master of his 2 groups.
When Ben isn’t creating content for Dungeon Mister, doing his day job or playing D&D, he looks after his hive of tadpoles (I mean children), nurturing them into the future Dungeon Mister (or Missus).
First ever character: An assassin that had vowed to never kill again called Bruce the Humane.
Favourite character: A mastermind Changeling called Wayne who is a master of disguise and has a love for hats (one for the cosmere fans out there).
Favourite setting: Ravenloft
Favourite campaign: Curse of Strahd
Favourite class: Rogue (in case you couldn’t tell from the above)
Favourite race: Changeling
Favourite spell: Enemies abound
