About Adriel "Sr. B."

Hi, my name is Adriel, i'm 28, happilly married, father of 2 and a absolute lover of RPGs ever since middle school, when i first met this incredible creative world. I'm a two bladed knife. Love both simple engaging and more challenge driven games, just as much as I am a "ride or die" more crunchy games player. Therefore power gaming and RP are not (nor will ever be) opposites and thats a hill i'm dying on. As a GM (or any other game names tha may come to be) I like to employ a GMing style based on presenting a simple general setup view and then proceed adding three more details from the scene with each new interaction, encouraging player engagement by actively seeking to visualize and understand the game world. In terms of game mechanics, I tend ask for rolls only when the "failure" is relevant to the ongoing narrative; I also encourage the use of descriptions (even simplified ones) to act as triggers for rolls, so that the narrative informs the need for them, not the other way around. I reserve slightly more detailed descriptions for preparation and combat moments to encourage tactical use of the terrain. And I make EXTENSIVE use of anticipation, ensuring that every challenge the players wish to engage is properly informed. Few years ago, a group of friends and I, released 2 editions of a Mausritter fanzine called MausRatos, that's currently on 2nd print by Caramelo Jogos, in Brazil. On second notice I am, alongside with a close friend, cooking up a game system.

Featured Prompts

I prep by

Bullet points, so I can take what the players bring to the game and make it feel more owned by those who are playing.

My games focus on...

Player Agency. Meaning that the actions took in-game should always impact the world.

When it comes to voices

I usually come up with them on the fly. Then I make notes to remember what they sound like. Accents are the bane of my existence.

I love it when a player

doubles down on what is going on in the scene.

I think metagaming...

is a tool for the players to make informed decisions and to give depth to the PCs, so they can be complex and unique.

My perfect party mix is

That little off balance of 50% powerbuilds, 40% RP and 10% idiotic joking
