Rodrigo has been an incredibly fun DM to adventure with. His sessions are well paced, he's adept at bringing everyone into the action and making the game fun and he's a complete pro at collaborative story telling. Bonus points for being among the best vtt admins I've ever played with. He's a GM I can't recommend enough!

If you ever get a change to be in a game with Rodrigo, congrats, you already won. He is a great DM and collaborative storyteller. Rodrigo is super open to feedback and is always finding ways to make the game run smooth. Personally, he has spent a lot of time outside of game time to work with me on some ideas for my character. Super chill guy!

Rodrigo is an amazing GM! I’m currently in a Drakkenheim campaign and am a fairly new player. Not only does he really bring to life the dark setting and tone of the campaign, but still leaves room for moments of hilarity and hijinks. As a new player, he has also helped me keep up with the group time and again without feeling overwhelmed. I would definitely recommend and have also already booked him to host a private one shot for me and some friends.

Rodrigo's greatest strength is his enthusiasm and excitement towards the story being told, it's infectious and gets you involved in every aspect of the game. From the setting to the small opportunities for rp, he is always the first to take interest in your actions and their possible outcomes. He practically forces and over all jolly and welcoming atmosphere all by himself.

Rodrigo is very well spoken, clear and concise with his explanations. He has a lot of experience and it is well demonstrated with his understanding of Roll20.
