About the adventure
Step into a series of investigations where each case uncovers something strange, dangerous, and often beyond understanding. This table is structured around individual scenarios, typically lasting 1 to 3 sessions, depending on how events unfold. 🔍 HOW THIS GAME WORKS This is a weekly ongoing table featuring a continuous series of Call of Cthulhu cases. 🔸 Each case presents a new situation, new challenges, and new discoveries 🔸 Some scenarios resolve in a single session, while others unfold over multiple sessions 🔸 Scenarios are not repeated—each investigation is a new experience Players can join at any time. New investigators are introduced into the current situation with the context needed to participate immediately. 🎭 CHARACTERS Investigators are typically pregenerated and tailored to each scenario, allowing players to jump directly into the story. Some cases may allow for returning or continuing characters, but most are designed as self-contained experiences. 🕯️ TONE & STYLE This table focuses on: 🔸 Investigation and discovery 🔸 Serious horror and atmosphere 🔸 Player-driven decisions 🔸 Consequences that matter The tone is grounded and immersive. Not every mystery has a clean resolution—and not every investigator walks away unchanged. 👥 IDEAL PLAYERS 🔸 Enjoy investigation and roleplay 🔸 Respect tone and immersion 🔸 Comfortable with horror themes 🔸 Looking for flexible but consistent play 🎯 PERFECT FOR 🔸 Players who prefer short-form or episodic play 🔸 Those who want regular Call of Cthulhu without long commitments 🔸 New players looking for an easy entry point 🔸 Experienced players who enjoy varied scenarios

About me
👋 Hello, I’m Leo — a professional Game Master specializing in immersive horror roleplaying. With over 24 years of experience, I focus on delivering tense, atmospheric games built around investigation, dread, and meaningful player choice. My tables are designed for players who want suspense, strong narrative cohesion, and stories that linger long after the session ends. If you’re looking for carefully paced horror, deep immersion, and a GM who treats the game seriously while keeping it fun and welcoming — you’re in the right place. 🕯️ My Specialization: Horror & Investigative Play Horror is my main focus and strongest discipline. I specialize in games where atmosphere, mystery, and tension drive the experience: 🕵️ Call of Cthulhu – My signature system. From classic 1920s investigations to modern cosmic horror, I emphasize slow-burn dread, strong clues, and player-driven discovery. 🕶️ Delta Green – Psychological and conspiracy horror, where paranoia, secrecy, and moral pressure are as dangerous as the Mythos itself. 👽 ALIEN RPG – Cinematic survival horror in space: lethal, intense, and tightly paced, inspired by the tone of the films. My games prioritize investigation, character perspective, and narrative tension over mechanical complexity or power gaming. 🌍 About Me I’m bilingual — fluent in Spanish (native) and English — originally from Venezuela and currently based in Chile. I’ve run games for players across the USA, UK, and Spain, and I adapt my style to match each group’s experience level and expectations. I’m also a published writer, with three Call of Cthulhu scenarios released on Chaosium’s Miskatonic Repository, where my work has been praised for atmosphere, pacing, and table usability. 💡 What You Can Expect at My Table 🌑 Beginner-Friendly Horror – New players are welcome; I enjoy teaching systems and easing people into horror roleplaying. 🎭 Immersive Presentation – Atmospheric narration, music, and visual support when appropriate. 🧩 Player-Driven Investigation – Your choices matter; clever thinking is rewarded. ⏱️ Professional Reliability – Clear communication, preparation, and respect for everyone’s time. 🔥 Why Choose Me? 🕯️ Horror Specialist – Decades of experience running investigative and atmospheric horror. 📚 Published & Proven – Officially released Call of Cthulhu scenarios with real table use. 🎲 Narrative-First GMing – Focus on tension, mood, and meaningful decisions. 🤝 Respectful & Inclusive – A safe, collaborative table where everyone gets a voice. Ready to uncover dark secrets, face cosmic terror, or struggle to survive against impossible odds? Browse my available games or send me a message — I’d be glad to bring your next horror story to life. Let’s make something unforgettable together.

How Leopoldo "Leovor" Rueda creates a safe table
I run structured horror games with clear expectations and respect at the table. All sessions include content notes so players can decide if the game is right for them before joining. I don’t alter the core themes of a scenario, but I do expect open, straightforward communication. If something becomes uncomfortable, players are free to speak up, step away, or take a short break—no pressure, no explanation required. My table is built on common sense, mutual respect, and engagement with the tone of the game. The goal is to create tension and immersion in a controlled, professional environment where everyone can focus on the experience.
