About me
👦🏽 He/him 🌴 Brazilian Hey there, the name is Rodrigo (pronounced Rawwwrrrrr!) After spending the last 12 years working as a successful IT consultant in Switzerland, I decided to do what any wise person would. I said screw it, packed my bags, my wife and my dog (yes, yes, packed all of them) and moved back to Brazil to start a completely new career as a full-time Game Master. My family and friends were really confused by my decision. Me? I'm having a blast! This is the first time in my life I'm working with what I love: making your day more fun! There is a zero-tolerance policy towards the intolerant. I will kick any bigots faster than you can sing "I like big boots and cannot lie."

I'm new to d&d and having Rodrigo as DM has been absolutely brilliant. He is very patient and takes time to explain rules/mechanics, also giving suggestions to assist in a non intrusive way. He is a very good storyteller and his narrative is excellent, with great visual and audio aids. What I've especially liked about the 2 campaigns I've played is that he has tailored the storyline to include plot lines around my characters backstory, which has given me a completely bespoke and immersive experience. He's also a great guy and I've had lots of fun playing his games.
Playing DnD with Rodrigo is great fun! He brings loads of enthusiam and a real love for the game. New and experienced players alike will both find themselves at home at his table. He takes extra care to make sure that everyone is enjoying the content of the game and isn't afraid to change things up if the vibe isn't right!
Rodrigo guided me into my first foray into this new world of DND. His creativity and flexibility is incredible and left me excited to see what would happen next session again and again. Very patient and always seems happy to explain or go into details to better understand world/setting. A fantastic story teller describing scenes and destincitve characters made the adventures very memorable. Thank you for the phenomenal campaign.
Just finished my first beginning-to-end camapaign with Rodrigo. He is a fantastic GM! He keeps the action moving in battle and is great at throwing unexpected twists and challenges at us players. He also finds room for role-play and space for players to build on our characters' backstories. He's skilled when it comes to balancing action, investigation, character moments, etc... everything that keeps the group engaged. I've learned a lot and look forward to my next campaign with Rodrigo!
