About me

ENGLISH Hi! I'm Franco, and ever since I was little I've been curious about the world of roleplaying games. But in recent years I finally decided to start exploring it for myself, and ended up falling in love with it. I couldn't resist with the opportunity to tell and create stories as a group. Especially with GMing, both as a creative outlet and a way to share my passion with others. I've been running games for a while now and have a bit of a hard time seeing myself doing anything else. I mostly run D&D 5e, the game that first brought me into this world and feel the most confident with. But I've dipped my toes into other game systems and am excited at the chance to delve into them as well. As someone who loves creating, and fiction in general, I dedicate most of my time to preparing material and adventures for my games. My goal is to offer as much value as I can to you as a player, and love working with you both in and out of game in the stories we develop together. I also don't shy away from changing, tweaking and creating rules to fit the table and the campaign. And I am very open to implementing homebrew content into my games. Looking forward to playing together and having a good time! ESPAÑOL Hola! Soy Franco, y desde chico siempre me interesó el mundo de los juegos de rol. Estos últimos años, al fin me animé a explorarlo por mí mismo, y terminé enamorado. No resistí la oportunidad de contar y crear historias en grupo. Más que nada como DJ, como una manera de descargar mi creatividad y compartir mi pasión con otros. Hace un tiempo que dirijo juegos y me cuesta imaginarme hacer otra cosa. Dirijo principalmente D&D 5ta, el juego que me introdujo a este mundo, y con el que siento más confianza. Pero he probado otros sistemas, y me interesa la idea de empezar a dirigir juegos en ellos. Como alguien que siempre disfrutó de crear, y de la ficción en general, le dedico casi todo mi tiempo a preparar material y aventuras para mis juegos. Trato de ofrecerte todo el valor que puedo, y me gusta trabajar con vos tanto dentro como fuera de juego en las historias que desarrollamos juntos. También suelo modificar o inventar reglas para que funcionen con nuestro grupo y campaña. Espero poder jugar juntos!

GM Style

ENGLISH I love all three main pillars of play, trying to keep a fair balance between them in my games. That said, I do enjoy roleplay and character interaction above the rest. As for combat, I try to run challenging encounters with real stakes and creative twists. Rather than several smaller fights, I tend to gravitate to fewer but harder ones. I use homebrew content on occasion, some made by others and some by me. I can be pretty relaxed when it comes to tweaking the rules or allowing homebrew characters. ESPAÑOL Me encantan todos los pilares de juego, y trato de mantener un equilibrio entre los tres. Aunque sí prefiero el roleo e interacción entre personajes por sobre el resto. En el combate, trato de que los encuentros sean un desafío, con riesgos reales y cambios interesantes. En vez de varias peleas chicas, generalmente hago pocos combates más difíciles. Uso contenido homebrew de vez en cuando, un poco hecho por otros y un poco mío. No me molesta cambiar reglas o permitir personajes homebrew.

Absolutely loved playing with Franco. He's fun, descriptive, and engaging. The dungeons are great too, puzzles are rather creative and the locations are very well crafted. Would very much recommend to play with him.

An excellent game master. I've played in his carnival one-shot and he gave excellent thematic descriptions of both combat and scenery. The game was a full sensory experience with good maps, dynamic dungeon lighting and excellent music. I highly recommend.

Franco ran a great session, good balance of RP, combat and puzzles. Story was good, plenty of good character moments / rewards. Maps were great and dynamic lighting was immersive.
