About Bromo
Hello, everyone calls me Bromo, I have been GMing for over 25 years. I started playing with a scrappy homebrew version of 2.0, got hooked running 3.5 games for the kids on my block, and haven't stopped since. These days, I'm deep into 5.5e (2024). I am very influenced by Old School video games like Wizardry, Quest for Glory and Shadowgate.

I am a full-time artist/artisan. I work selling hand painted artisanal jewelry and read Tarot cards to old ladies at the town's plaza.
How Bromo runs games
My games are about atmosphere, discovery and exploration. I run on Owlbear.rodeo using a gridless format. Using Images and tokens to re-inforce theather of the mind combat. I love dungeon crawling, traps, secret doors, following tracks, etc. If you enjoy tense corridors, clever problem solving, and uncovering secrets below the surface of a medieval city I am your game master.

I deal with rules issues by...
I provide a feedback doc where players may leave their concerns, this is discussed at the end of a session. If at any moment there is a 'rules dispute' I will make a ruling to keep the flow and then if anyone has any disagreement, we can discuss it at the end of the session for future reference.
My favorite trope is...
The underdog
My games focus on...
Exploration. I want players to feel like they are having a full inmersive experience. I use a lot of visual imagery and animations to help narrative and combats unfold.
Bromo's ideal table
My ideal table is full of curious players ready to explore, interact and have fun. Cooperation is key in my dungeons, traps and scenarios. Collaborative and perceptive players will thrive in my games.
