As the site's Tabletop & Merch Editor, I'm in charge of that section so can be found covering everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news. If it involves the rolling of dice, nerdy collectibles, or an absurd number of miniatures, I'm there.
Although I joined GamesRadar+ in 2018, I've been writing about games in one form or another for more than a decade - my bylines range from Metro.co.uk to TechRadar. I try not to use this power for evil, but can normally be found cackling over some nefarious plan I've cooked up for my group's next Dungeons & Dragons campaign. You can follow me on Twitter @thewordyben.
