About me
I'm a veteran DM with decades of experience, starting with 1e and deepening in 2e. By 3e I entered a hiatus with only relatively brief interruptions that ended during lockdown, first only playing, later returning to DMing 5e games online and face-to-face. If you're looking for a DM who values collaboration, creativity, and a good balance between rules and storytelling, I'd love to hear from you!
GM Style
I love incorporating roleplaying and character backstories, but I lean more on descriptive narration than voice acting. I can run only a few official published adventures from the core setting, but I prioritize player freedom and choice within the setting. Your party is free to explore and shape the story as you see fit. I consider myself good at improvising when players want to deviate from the beaten track or the adventure's storyline. I consider 5e to be well-balanced, so I go very much by the book, with very few homerules. During play I can get some rules wrong since I've DMed 5e for less than two years, but I appreciate the corrections from players when I get something wrong. No player vs player violence or stealing from the party members.

Rule of Cool
Alberto has some great and well thought-out ideas that are just waiting to burst forth towards your gaming imagination without sacrificing the structural narrative of the story. His by the book methods are balanced while also not bogging down the efficiency or flow of the game. My One-shot with him is entertaining and care-free in relation to how interactions are managed with other players.
