About Renato

Two decades of DM experience, started with AD&D in the Gary Gygax era. Ran hundreds of adventures and dozens of long running campaigns. Also GM’d extensively in Call of Cthulhu, TMNT and Shadowrun RPG and ran my own Play-by-Mail series. At the moment launching my PbP 2.0 adventure series set in my homebrew world of Aldoria, creating and playing solo RPG games, enjoying the occasional D&D one-shot with friends and having conversations with my 3 cats Mochi, Chino and Kittler.

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

running Hyrox races, hiking in the countryside, reading books and enjoying a nice meal.

How Renato runs games

My DM style is pure oldskool 100% Theatre of the Mind so I leave the fancy maps and Discord chatter to others. I started playing in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Gary Gygax era and started playing Forgotten Realms when it came out. Built a vast library of D&D novels like the Crystal Shard and Drizzt series, Dragonlance and Cadderly series back in the 80’s and 90’s and led my players through dozens of long-running campaigns in Fearun and beyond. Now I mostly run one-shots with friends and free sessions to introduce our beautiful game to new players. Next to DM work I also design and run next generation Play-by-Post games set in the land of Aldoria and design immersive solo RPG’s set in different fantasy and apocalyptic settings. If you love immersive imagination and role play you’ve come to the right DM. Roll your own physical dice and share what you’ve rolled and I will do the same. A camera and mic on Teams is all you need. Emotions and surprise, storytelling, character and world building are my thing. Join my table and start rolling if that sounds good!

Christopher Nolan!

When it comes to voices

I like to create characters in an improv theatre kind of way to bring life to NPC’s by using voices, movement and props.

Renato's ideal table

I love players who like role play and who use imagination to enjoy this beautiful game and create amazing, suspenseful and hilarious moments together. While saving the day obviously.
