About me
Hi! I'm a music producer and game designer from são paulo, Brazil. I've been gming for 12 years, everything from B/X DnD to monster of the week, shadowrun, blades in the dark, ALIEN, DCC, Vampire, call of cthulhu, Star wars FFG and much more. I love hepling people create stories that they really care about and always use safety tools.
GM Style
My style could be described as cinematic, focused on character development and the world's they inhabit. My key skills are improvisation and taking the ideas presented by the players, then weaving them back on to the narrative, building a story and world that's tailored for the interests of each table in a living, breathing maelstrom of ideas and passions shared by the group. Sound is a crucial part of playing ttrpgs for me. I create custom soundscapes for each scene, setting the mood and diving deep into the atmosphere of the world.

Rafael is such a fun and enthusiastic GM! Sessions are very collaborative. He makes the players feel like they're a major part of the storytelling. He is also excellent at explaining the system. Perfect GM for both new and veteran players alike.

Rafael builds such a wonderful and immersive world. It is so easy to get pulled into it with the detailed maps and amazing soundscapes. The NPCs all have their own stories that you can't help but want to learn. He also integrates your character into the world so seamlessly. I am not even doing it justice, you have to experience it to understand just how amazing he is! It also makes a difference that he is excited about the game and story he has created, it makes you feel just as excited to be a part of it.

What a great game of Blades, that's all I can say. Really great work in a challenging game and made me feel welcome and included out of the gate. Came back after leaving my initial review and updated it with EVEN MORE enthusiasm! Great GM.
