About Miguel

Dear adventurer, If you’re looking to embark on your next journey, you've come to the right place. Roleplaying games have been a part of my life since my teenage years. They shaped who I am, both as a storyteller and as a person, and eventually led me to become a professional in the industry. I'm passionate about crafting immersive stories, rich worlds, and unforgettable moments, experiences that stay with you long after the campaign has ended. If that resonates with you, then come and join me on the adventure.

People are always surprised when I tell them

I live in a cabin in the woods.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Hiding somewhere in the woods in the company of my dogs and birds of prey.

How Miguel runs games

Above all, I focus on crafting meaningful stories and deep character development. My games are driven by narrative, where every choice matters and characters have room to grow, change, and leave their mark on the world. Combat is never filler or a way to pass time, it's always a natural extension of the story. When it happens, it matters. I strive to make each encounter engaging and memorable, using a mix of detailed maps, immersive soundscapes, and theater of the mind to bring scenes to life. I enjoy voice acting and building rich world lore, giving each character and location its own identity. I also pay close attention to elements like time, weather, and seasons, weaving them into the experience so the world feels alive and responsive.

My games focus on...

Story development at both the world and character level.

Rules are...

The agreements everyone at the table makes about how the game is played.

Miguel's ideal table

People who care deeply about story development and want to be co-authors of the story. I'm happy with weaker or stronger characters, as long as they are roleplayed properly. More than anything, I want players who are invested in their characters and the world, and who enjoy building the story together. When I started playing RPGs, they were a way to make friends and stay connected. I still believe they have that power, and that's the kind of table I want to build.

I love it when a player

Is invested in the story, gets excited about what’s happening, and keeps thinking about the game between sessions.

I think it's a red flag when players...

Are disrespectful toward each other, or when in-game disagreements spill over into real-life conflict.

I think min/maxing...

Is fine, as long as it fits the fantasy. If Legolas probably had 20 Dexterity and Elven Accuracy, who am I to complain?
