About me

I've got almost 5 years of experience as both a Dungeon Master and professional writer! Community storytelling is my favorite aspect of the DMing experience and I'm excited to go on all sorts of adventures with whoever is down. I've got a homebrew campaign setting ready to go but am totally down to run pre-written modules as well.

GM Style

I love to run just about every aspect of D&D - from roleplaying to dungeon crawling to combat to exploration. I have some fun with not only character voices, but deep character exploration. I love tying in the plot of my adventures with character backstory for maximum engagement. But at the end of the day, I strive to make my sessions enjoyable to all my players and try to throw in encounters suitable for all PCs - even if you just wanna unwind and slay some monsters.

Humberto is a fantastic DM! Definitely takes the time to get to know the players and characters and weave everyone's stories together, makes creative suggestions creating a fun and compelling narrative. Every session has been a blast so far. 10/10

I have been in at least three sessions with Humberto, he is very quick to react to the sometimes weird shenanigans that players may come up with, while keeping it fair and fun, improvising masterfully when players do very unexpected stuff. His descriptions really help providing immersion into the game, where you can feel the tension in suspenseful scenarios and the cheer and joy in happy ones. Definitely a great GM to play with

Humberto is very organized, yet flexible. He is very clear and detailed in his descriptions, which makes theater of the mind work perfectly. He has a great sense of humor, yet the game is not a joke to him and that's a difficult concept to balance. His speech as a dm and as a an npc flows with a constant rythm, meaning he does not stutter or hesitate. He reassures new players and allows shy experienced players to participate no more or less than they feel they want to. He makes sure that all players have a chance to shine in every session. He's very good. :)

Humberto's ability to be a DM is so good that it got me, a huge DND skeptic, to be totally bought in and absolutely begging to play DND whenever we can. He's so smart about everything, knows the rules, and his world building is INSANE. His attention to detail is so good and really demands you to want to play the game in the best way. If you're fully bought in to one of Humberto's campaigns, you're gonna have a great time.
