Ben MacDonald

Introduction

Ben MacDonald is a player on the Tabletop Champions Podcast from the very beginning⁰⁰⁰. He is known for his inventive character design, often eking out great benefits from small things without sounding like a min-maxer. He is further known for his extensive and readily available knowledge of the Dungeons and Dragons rules, and his gentle, non-intrusive rules lawyering has become a ressource to all DMs and players on the show. It has also earned him the comical alias "Clippy", a reference to the quite intrusive and useless digital assistant designed by Microsoft.

Ben also wrote the setting of "the Blood Fens" for season four. It includes the famous organization of the Syrellian Crime Family.
