About Paulo Silva

My name is Paulo and I've been GMing for over 25 years. I have played a multitude of systems in countless tables. I love RPGs more than any other game because it is a interactive story where you can do literally anything (while respecting the rules, of course). My favorite part of GMing is seeing shy people blossom and find their voices while playing a character. I'm an avid collector, I love learning new systems and settings. But my favorite part is building my own, filling all the background stuff to allow players to collaboratively build the rest with me, either in backstories or throught their actions.

GURPs, I know, too many rules. But it is a system that can play LITERALLY anything

How Paulo Silva runs games

I'm a big fan of roleplay, and if it were to me all the sessions would be heavy RP. BUT it is not up to me, I understand that, as the GM, it is my job to tailor the experience to tend the needs of all the players. If some like RPing, the session needs to have at least some of it, if some love tatical fights, it needs to have those as well. At the end of the day I may be running the game, but who sets the direction are the players, my job is to make sure it is running in the right direction.

Paulo Silva's ideal table

I like players that understand that there is no "winning" in a RPG table, it is a game, but unlike others, the goal is to story build and not to be "the best" or some other version of competition. (Unless of course it is a PvP campaing, but those should be VERY MUCH openly discussed before hand)
