About Atari
Hey there! I’m a seasoned bilingual Dungeon Master with years of experience running long-term campaigns, games at conventions (GenCon, WonderCon, Comic-Con), and online events like Carnaval Rolero. Whether in English or Spanish, I create immersive, story-driven adventures tailored for all types of players—from absolute beginners to seasoned veterans making sure every player gets their moment in the spotlight! As a proud member of LatineLounge, I help carve out spaces in conventions for Spanish-speaking players, ensuring that more people can experience the magic of tabletop RPGs. I have been interviewed in podcasts to talk about my experience as a Pro-Gm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtKkB7pidz4&t=2109s See this Daggergeart Youtube Video if you want to see what is like to be at one of our tables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlnZS_6CD8U&t=99s What I Offer: 🎲 Learn-to-Play One-Shots! – Perfect for new players looking to dive into D&D for the first time. 🎭 Character Art Commissions! – I work with talented artists to bring your characters to life. 🔄 Guest Player Opportunities! – By joining one of my campaigns, you can guest star for free in other sessions from other campaigns or one-shots! 🌐 A Thriving Discord Community! – Join my dedicated Discord server to chat between sessions, share character stories, and connect with other players! 📺 Twitch Streaming – Want to share the adventure with others?

I became a GM because
I love to tell stories! I consider myself a somewhat creative person, I used to play the guitar and write songs, and creating and inventing stories is another way to let my creativity come out!
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
creative, teacher and inclusive!! I love to introduce this game to new players!! I also run games in Spanish to make it easy for the Latin American community to join this hobby!
When I'm not running games I'm...
usually playing boardgames with friends, seeing some fantasy novel, series, movie or listening to podcasts!
How Atari runs games
My GM style consists on immersion, rule of cool, and making sure I give every player their time to shine. I focus a lot on the players, what they want to do, but always adding some suspense and drama, to make sure the players understand that their decisions count and have consequences. My combats are tactical, but I also role play the personalities of each monster depending of their type. Being a latinx, I always add a little bit of humor to my campaigns or one shots, and try to make the session feel personal and worth of remembering to the players.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
David Benioff and DB Weiss...or Ben Stiller like in Severance
My favorite trope is...
diverse, with players with different characteristics, backgrounds, characters that have strong features but also big flaws, and people that are willing to tell a story together with other adventurers.
Rules are...
a guideline....but creativity is the strongest rule of all!
Atari's ideal table
Our tables are welcoming, diverse, and full of creativity. Whether you're brand new to TTRPGs or a seasoned player, you'll find a seat here. We prioritize collaborative storytelling, character growth, and a relaxed, supportive atmosphere where everyone contributes to the fun. Our tables have proudly introduced many new players to the hobby, offering a safe and exciting space to learn the ropes while diving into epic adventures. Whether it’s your first roll or your hundredth session, you’re part of the story. Expect players to try wild, chaotic ideas to get out of tight spots — and who also embrace the consequences when things go sideways. We make space for character-driven arcs that can grow over months or even years. Some of my campaigns have been running for 2+ years, giving players plenty of time to carve out unforgettable legacies. We run both long-form campaigns and one-shots across a variety of unique settings — from pirate-infested seas to high-stakes heists, from whimsical Feywild escapades to gritty urban intrigue. There’s always room for new heroes and new stories. All identities, backgrounds, and experience levels are welcome. So whether you’re a she, he, they, or a goblin disguised as a bard — pull up a chair. Your story starts here.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
fast paced, chaotic, improv story telling with lots of laughter
I love it when a player
interacts with other players, and is willing to take a backseat to see other people shine.
My table is not the place for...
players that are looking for heavy dungeon crawling adventures, as my tables will have a lot of Roleplaying opportunities.
