About me

Español/English Soy un Narrador (GM) que cree en la narrativa emergente y en la creación compartida de historias únicas que solo pueden existir en el rol. Mi objetivo es facilitar experiencias de juego donde los jugadores tengan verdadera agencia narrativa y donde juntos descubramos mundos e historias que ninguno de nosotros podría haber imaginado por separado. Con 29 años de experiencia dirigiendo juegos de rol, he desarrollado un enfoque que prioriza la libertad narrativa, la improvisación fluida y la profundidad en todos los aspectos del juego. Mis sesiones son dinámicas y eficientes; entiendo que nuestro tiempo es valioso, por lo que me aseguro de que cada sesión esté llena de momentos significativos y avances en la historia. Más que un GM tradicional, me considero un narrador y un facilitador del juego colectivo. Proporciono las herramientas, el mundo y los desafíos, pero son ustedes, los jugadores, quienes definirán realmente la dirección y el significado de nuestra aventura compartida. ------------------- I am a Game Master (GM) who believes in emergent narrative and the shared creation of unique stories that can only exist through roleplaying.

I provide the tools, the world, and the challenges, but it is you, the players, who will truly define the direction and meaning of our shared adventure.

GM Style

Español/English Si buscas una experiencia de rol que ofrezca verdadera libertad narrativa y profundice en lo que hace único a los juegos de rol, has encontrado a tu GM. Algunas de las cualidades de mi estilo narrativo son: Sandbox Ilimitado: Ofrezco mundos abiertos donde la exploración no tiene límites predefinidos. Sin railroad; no existen "rieles" invisibles. La narrativa evoluciona orgánicamente según las decisiones de los jugadores. Creación Compartida: El juego es una conversación constante entre todos los participantes. La historia emerge de esta conversación colectiva, no de un guion predeterminado. Narrativa Post-moderna: Dejamos atrás los tropos convencionales y las estructuras narrativas predecibles para explorar historias que solo pueden existir en los juegos de rol. No buscamos emular el cine o la literatura, sino crear experiencias de rol únicas al medio. Agencia Total del Jugador: Los jugadores controlan genuinamente lo que sucede con sus personajes. A cambio, espero que los jugadores impulsen activamente la historia a través de sus acciones Juego Asimétrico: Cada personaje brilla de manera diferente. No creo en un "balance" artificial—cada personaje tendrá momentos únicos para destacarse según sus capacidades y el contexto narrativo. Ritmo Dinámico: Valoro el tiempo de juego y mantengo un ritmo ágil. Las sesiones están diseñadas para que ocurran eventos significativos, evitando exposiciones prolongadas o referencias excesivas que ralenticen la acción. Juntos crearemos historias inolvidables que trasciendan lo que cualquiera de nosotros podría imaginar individualmente. ---------------------- If you're looking for a roleplaying experience that offers true narrative freedom and delves into what makes roleplaying games unique, you've found your GM. Some qualities of my narrative style are: Unlimited Sandbox: I offer open worlds where exploration has no predefined limits. No railroading; there are no invisible "rails." The narrative evolves organically according to player decisions. Shared Creation: The game is a constant conversation among all participants. The story emerges from this collective conversation, not from a predetermined script. Post-modern Narrative: We leave behind conventional tropes and predictable narrative structures to explore stories that can only exist in roleplaying games. We don't seek to emulate cinema or literature, but to create roleplaying experiences unique to the medium. Total Player Agency: Players genuinely control what happens with their characters. In exchange, players are expected to actively drive the story through their actions. Asymmetrical Play: Each character shines in different ways. I don't believe in artificial "balance"—each character will have unique moments to stand out according to their capabilities and the narrative context. Dynamic Pacing: I value game time and maintain an agile pace. Sessions are designed so that significant events occur, avoiding prolonged expositions or excessive references that slow down the action. Together we will create unforgettable stories that transcend what any of us could imagine individually.
