About Nuno
I've always been enamored by great stories in film, books, comics and video games and the passion for a story that will grab you to your seat, that will leaving you wanting more is what I strive for as a GM and a storyteller. By the end of the pandemic, I decided to fully invest myself into this form of story telling and started, as many do, with a small group of friends who allowed me to put up my first game and haven't stop ever since. Now, three and something years later, I found myself playing games weekly with players from all over the world online, covering many of the official D&D modules from "Lost Mine of Phandelver" to "Vecna: Eve of Ruin" and craving to find more stories, more players that will help me tell amazing tales and have epic moments of fun while doing so.

I got started GMing...
By a deep passion for storytelling, the wanting to see what a TTRPG was all about and by gathering some friends around a table to tell fun, crazy stories while having a pretty good time!
People are always surprised when I tell them
That I'm a full-time GM for 3 years now. Most don't even know what that is, others don't understand how but I make the most explaining what this storytelling method and community are all about. :)
When I'm not running games I'm...
I'm a father, partner, friend and hopefully a decent human being. A gamer at heart, tabletop and video, and someone who enjoys life as a whole by being present.
How Nuno runs games
I am a sucker for a great story, well crafted characters that will make the world feel alive and good banter with fun, emotional and intensive interactions when needed but when the stakes get higher, I like the combats to feel meaningful and that creativity will certainly be rewarded.

I deal with rules issues by...
Google is always a friend and if things aren't clear then we just make a fair ruling in the moment and keep things moving.
Rules are...
Important guidelines to have nice boundaries to fall onto but creativity will always be rewarded.
When it comes to voices
I do my best to make them help with the immersion of the world and story but sometimes they are just silly, in hopes to jolt players into that fun aspect as well! ;)
Nuno's ideal table
As a storyteller at heart I love a good bit of role-play but balance will always be key! It's important to me that the big battles come with high stakes that we can get truly invested in. To this end I like tables full of players ready to shine a light on one another, and who optimize not only a character, but the party as a whole.
Featured Prompts
I am for a vibe that's...
Chilled and easy going, funny and exciting and that will always aim for a fun time for all!
I love it when a player
Sticks to what his character would do, even to the contrary of the mechanical knowledge of the player. The chaos it provides and the opportunities to have more epic, failure or success, moment to me is at the core of any great story!
My table is not the place for...
Bullying, harassing, looking down on others or any inappropriate behavior. The time at this table is for collaboration and cooperation and if you're not for that then this is not the place for you.
