About me

Hey all! I'm a game designer and novelist from the Philippines. I have a particular love for fiction and interactable games. I love tactics, and my favorite part about running games is seeing all the ways characters can find new things about themselves, and how players can learn more about the characters they play through, well, play! I hope to play with you guys, because I love inserting obscure mythologies (South Asian, Southeast Asian, and East Asian and the intricate interconnectedness of it all in particular!) and slick martial arts (I'm a practitioner of Filipino Martial Arts myself)!

GM Style

I love roleplaying, and in particular love experimenting with accents. I am a sucker for tactical combat, but do everything I can to make it dynamic, to enforce beat-by-beat strategy. I enforce environmental effects as much as possible! I expect a lot of buy-in from players, particularly to be safe, dramatic, and committed to the bit, because I am the same!
