About Matheus

Nice to meet you! I'm Matheus, but most people call me NeonCogs or Mat online. I started playing in 2013 after watching Rollplay, one of the first DnD streams. I had dabbled with the then-recent 4th edition but fell in love with AD&D and ran a homebrewed campaign named "Domhan - Rise of Kings" that ran for 5 years. Later, I started playing 5th edition with the same group, and we completed the Out of the Abyss module in three years. I had finished my bachelor's in Computer Science, and so my schedule changed. I made a new group, and we finished the Tyranny of Dragons modules in 2 years. I've been part of two West Marches-style projects with several DMs and players. I loved the Forgotten Realms setting and read many of the novels and books. Though the love has grown cold, I'm still willing to play pre-made modules in the setting if there is demand. I can adapt to different playstyles; however, I enjoy describing places, NPCs, and magical effects. I love building combat encounters, especially by making different mechanics in "boss fights". Though I love to make different characters with complex backstories, I wish I were better at interpreting them. Things I hate: Fascism and Racism. Things I love: Immersion and planning. Favorite media: Frieren Beyond Journey's End, Ascendance of a Bookworm.

I got started GMing...

I got started GMing in my teens, making maps with Roll20 drawing tools, making stat blocks for demigods and calculating wood production to see how much gold my players where making. But don't worry! I use Inkarnate, calculate CR appropriately and Strongholds and Followers nowadays.

My favorite shows/movies are

My favorite is Ascendance of a Bookworm, but Frieren: Beyond Jorney's End is a close second.

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

Selecting ambient music, drawing maps, thinking about grand storylines. Oh! And working a 9-5 I guess.

I love it when a player

Asks questions and give me work! Even if I don't know something I will do my best to look it up. Be it lore or rules related. I also love when they make long term plans.
