About me

Hello! My name is Daniel and I've been a GM since my first time playing when I was 13 years old. I'm also a Psychologist, and my deep interest in the human mind has helped me in my DM journey, crafting worlds, characters, stories and connections between them, creating vibrant worlds for my players to immerse themselves in.

GM Style

I aim to make games in where no matter the theme or the experience being sought the players can find themselves in a friendly social environment to immerse themselves into the characters comfortably, so we can enjoy both the company and the stories we end up making together. I also value the verisimilitude of my settings, doing reasearch and preparing maps that bring them to life in a belieavable way - but the narrative we built is more important than rules or setting details, as long as in enrichens the game for everyone and keeps things fair and balanced. Although I have played a lot of games during my experience with TTRPGs (Mighty Blade, 3D&T, World of Darkness (3e and 20th), Chronicles of Darkness (Basic and Changeling), Blades in the Dark, and others) my main experience has been with the World of Darkness setting and its games, which helped me develop a DM style with detailed casts of NPCs with intricate webs of connections, plots and secrets, often with both a "main story" and the exploration of the individual goals of the player characters. I am proficient in other type of stories too, but if you're interested in games with a mix of investigation, combat and navigating through complex webs of conspiracy and relationship you should give one of my games a try!

Daniel is one of the best GMs I have ever had the pleasure to play with. All the campaigns he GMed to me had amazing plots very well woven into de game scenario, interesting villains and NPCs, worlds full of life and much more. He integrated all the players' characters and backgrounds in the story, allowing players to be creative and interacting with the characters choices they made in really cool ways. Of all the GMs I've ever played with, I believe Daniel takes the crow.

As someone who spent time as player for this GM, as well as a 'sounding board' for their ideas, I can easily endorse Daniel to any player looking for a fun GM that's knowledgeable about the rules, while still being flexible enough to let players run wild when necessary. I've seen them spend hours trawling through old and obscure modules of both first-party and third-party content to include cool setpieces in their campaigns, meticulously create maps and integrate them into their settings, and study the rulebook (even creating new rulings to handle edge cases) to accommodate with whatever playstyle the party is looking to achieve. As a GM who leans more on the improvisational side of things, I deeply respect Daniel's style of play. They say that crafting worlds can be a labor of love, and if that is the case, then he certainly loves what he does. If you're looking for a GM who knows his stuff, can roll with the punches, and deliver a fun experience for everyone involved, look no further!

He conducts sessions very well, both for experienced and novice players. The sessions are very dynamic and descriptive, and also promotes freedon of action for players in gameplay, providing great immersion, not only due to the good narration but also due to the maps and all the other tools used. His stories are usually very creative and engaging. All of this provides a very fun experience.
