About the adventure
💡 Missed Dues — A Call of Cthulhu One-Shot A small job. Easy money. Nothing unusual. Until everything goes wrong. What starts as a routine task quickly spirals into a dangerous situation involving people you don’t trust, secrets you don’t understand, and consequences you can’t avoid. As pressure builds and the situation unravels, you’ll have to think fast, choose carefully, and decide who—or what—you’re really dealing with. 🎭 Why My Table? I’ve been running tabletop RPGs for over 20 years, with a strong focus on Call of Cthulhu. I specialize in immersive, character-driven scenarios where tension comes as much from people as it does from the unknown. At my table, you can expect: 🎭 Strong roleplay opportunities and character interaction 🕵️ Clear structure with meaningful choices ⚡ Rising tension driven by both human and supernatural threats 🎙️ Immersive narration and atmosphere 🧭 This Game Is Perfect If You: ✔ Enjoy roleplay and interacting with other characters ✔ Like tense situations with human stakes and consequences ✔ Want a different flavor of Call of Cthulhu beyond pure investigation ⚠️ Table Expectations This is a roleplay-driven horror experience. Players are expected to: • Stay engaged with the situation and other characters • Respect tone and spotlight at the table • Lean into the scenario rather than disrupt it Light humor is welcome—but not when it breaks immersion. ⚠️ Some Debts Don’t Stay Buried You took the job. Now you have to deal with the consequences.

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.
