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 other people have fun and laugh. 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."

How Rodrigo creates a safe table
This is an inclusive game, where people from all backgrounds are welcome. There is zero tolerance for the intolerant. Safety tools are fully in use. Before starting adventuring, I will take your input on what themes are to be avoided and what you wish to experience in the campaign. My games will not contain sexual violence, sex, or player character torturing NPCs.
