About me

My name is James and Pintado is my nickname,… call me either and you’ll get a smile back from me. i am an enthusiastic artist expressing themselves through all things deemed nerdy. I Game master, role-play, draw and dream fantasy all day, most days. I love co-creating epic stories of adventure, intrigue and suspense with other players, interweaving a balanced experience of compelling story, battle strategy and rewarding drama. I really enjoy helping others express themselves through tabletop games. I try and create a space for thoughtful character creation where players can craft as deep or merely functional character as they choose. I seek to balance the dynamics of a multi person table so all participants can find what they are looking for in a shared creative experience. In real life, I am a teacher and a performer and those skills come through in experiences I facilitate. I love helping new players find their way while creating interactive and entertaining content for “our” table. I see this all as a group experience and prefer to be an ally to the adventurers as opposed to being their opponent. Lastly, everybody is welcome at my table. I expect all players to be kind and work to co create an amazing experience together, full of mutual respect and cooperation. Let’s get together and create some magic!!!

GM Style

My GM style changes from table to table as needs arise. Firstly, I am team cheerleader/motivator and I seek to bring excitement and enthusiasm to out time together. Secondly, I am the player’s inside guy to mechanics of the campaign. I want to help players use all the economy of their characters and play exactly the kind of character that they enjoy. Ultimately my goal is to help all of the players craft a group story that they can manifest into an entertaining experience for everybody. I add risks and opportunities so players can do all the amazing things they imagine their characters doing in our shared story. Let’s make epic tales together!!
