About me

Hey there! I’m a seasoned bilingual Dungeon Master with years of experience running long-term campaigns, convention games (GenCon, WonderCon, Comic-Con), and online events like Carnaval Rolero 2023. Whether in English or Spanish, I create immersive, story-driven adventures tailored for all types of players—from absolute beginners to seasoned veterans! 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 thrive on making the game engaging, cinematic, and unforgettable—where creativity is rewarded, and every player gets their moment in the spotlight. 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. 🖨 Custom 3D Printing! – Get miniatures for your characters, printed by me. 🔄 Guest Player Opportunities! – By joining one of my campaigns, you can guest star in other sessions! 🌐 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?

What Players Say: ⭐ "Atari is fantastic! He made my first D&D experience absolutely amazing, rewarding creativity and making every moment feel epic." – Sarriest ⭐ "Perfect for beginners and veterans alike. Interactive, engaging, and left me wanting more!" – Kaylee ⭐ "Atari is an incredible DM who ensures every player has their moment, making sure the whole party feels involved." – Kel ⭐ "His passion for the game is contagious—he inspired me to become a DM myself!" – Mario ⭐ "As a noob I'm intimidated, especially with strangers, but Atari made me feel right at home. I appreciated the inclusion and allowing me to feel like I can be authentic and confident asking dumb questions. :)" – New Player ⭐ "Atari was an exceptional GM for my first online Dungeons & Dragons adventure. He created a comfortable and welcoming environment, guiding us through the mechanics of the online tools with ease. His storytelling was unique and engaging, making the experience truly memorable. Highly recommended!" – First-Time Online Player ⭐ "I wish I could add more 'tags'—'sets the mood,' 'good for beginners,' 'allows player creativity'—pretty much all of them apply to Atari! He was a terrific GM. This was my first time playing with him, and I’m already looking forward to the next. I joined a mini-campaign that had already started, and he got me up to speed quickly while making sure everyone had fun. Something super cool I learned from him that I'll bring to my own table is asking the players to share what they remembered from previous sessions—it was super helpful! Highly recommend playing with Atari!!" – New Campaign Player I run both online and in-person games (Orange County & Los Angeles) and bring my passion for storytelling, roleplay, and cinematic combat to every session. Whether you want to learn the game, dive into an ongoing campaign, or test your luck in a one-shot, I’d love to roll some dice with you!

GM Style

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.
