I became a GM because

I love onboarding people to the hobby, and I'm always thinking about what designs and tools can make the narrative and mechanics match, be more accessible and more immersive!

How Eloy Vera Beltrán runs games

I have a preference for dramatic games, but I also like crunchy mechanics when they help immersion and bring about strategic, tense decision. I can run the style of game you want, though I believe in method, consensus and joint story-building over hard adherence to rules. For the same reason, I prefer to run games in pre-made settings or with very minimalist homebrews that can be expanded on to accommodate the story we're telling together. I'm very open-minded and have only one precept: everyone should feel accepted and have a good time at my table. Everything else can be discussed.

Rules are...

A resource to make a smoother experience. Different situation calls for different rules, every table will come up with their own!
