Hi, I’m Charles! I’m a Filipino-Chinese nerd hopelessly addicted to the art of Tabletop Roleplaying Games. Like any good monomyth, the tale of my nerdom started in some obscure corner of 2010s nerd youtube space and ever since then, this hobby has only consumed more and more of my life. I started playing around 6 years ago, hosting my own school hobby club. This first club is where I would unfortunately but necessarily make all the mistakes I had to be a good game master. (Sometimes I jolt awake at night remembering my player’s soulless faces as I spent the 3rd straight session in a row explaining each and every rule in the D&D 5th edition’s player’s handbook.) Since then, I’ve steadily increased my skill as a GM. When I transferred to a new school, I was excited to hear that there already was a TTRPG group. During my time with this new group, I was able to expand my horizons and play different TTRPGs aside from 5e namely, Monster of the Week and City of Mist. My world was even further expanded and I felt the same electrical excitement I did when I first learned of what a TTRPG is. After graduating, I’ve only continued to delve into other TTRPGs. I joined online communities and participated in the discourse around the hobby. I’ve continued to host games of different kinds, getting better at improvisation and taking lessons from my mistakes with every game that I play.
