About me

If you are looking to be immersed into the world of Star Wars, you have come to the right man. Immersion is my highest priority, turning the Star Wars world into one that feels living and breathing is my highest priority. My craft is all about making you feel like you exist within a world that reacts to your existence and captures the feeling of the classic space opera but also grounded with elements of our own history.

GM Style

My games feature a heavy mix of roleplaying, problem solving, and tactical combat that places an emphasis on resolving the situation than just winning a fight. Chases, ambushes, stealth and talking your way out of situations is very common in my games. I put a heavy emphasis on open world and free form decision making from my players with a dynamic world that responds to their actions. Sessions tend to be on the more serious end, with immersion always being maintained above all else.

The first dm I ever had for a complete campaign. Excellent sense of aesthetic, pacing, world building and characterization. A huge inspiration for my own campaigns and the baseline for all DMing I do.

If you're looking for a GM with both intimate knowledge of TTRPG mechanics and more importantly how or even when to enforce them, then you've found the right person for the job. He'll set expectations early and communicate with players on what exactly they're looking for in a story before drawing them into a narrative that keeps you guessing. Once you're off and playing, he absolutely will not shy from challenging players in ways that inspire creative solutions. From my experience there's nothing Ricardo enjoys more than a player thinking of something he did not anticipate. For all of these reasons and a few more, I absolutely recommend rolling some dice with this GM at the helm.

Great person and DM. He knows how to build wonderful and engaging story where not even one detail or interaction goes to waste. Ricardo ties everything in into a compelling story with fun characters and intriguing villains. Highly recommended! Z.G

I have played in their games for over 5 years and they have always been amazing! They always create amazing worlds and narratives that leave you wanting more. They are always willing to work with the players to build the world and setting around the player characters that feels effortless.

I’ve been playing TTRPGs with Ricardo for nearly 5 years, both as a player AND a GM, and at this point I can’t see myself doing any games without him. His ability to both develop stories/content around player characters and make the game worlds feel fleshed out makes for very fun and engaging campaigns. We also act as springboards for each other when we’re developing our respective games and this conference of ideas has led to some truly great stories and moments.
