About me
"Salutations, brave adventurers! I am Game Master Chapo, thrilled to have the opportunity to meet you. Thank you for considering embarking on an epic journey where you'll become the heroes of unfolding tales. A bit about myself: I've been immersed in the realm of TTRPGs since 1997, starting with Dungeons and Dragons second edition. Throughout the years, I've explored a myriad of systems and games, from Pathfinder and Savage Worlds to Gurps and Dangerous Journeys. With over 15 years of Game Mastering experience, my focus has primarily been on Dungeons and Dragons fifth edition, Gurps, and Savage Worlds, though I'm eager to dive into Cyberpunk and Star Wars realms. While my heart lies in fantasy, my love for sci-fi knows no bounds—I'm adept at running games across any genre or system. I have hosted over 700 hours on Roll20 and 1000 in person. My background includes guest GMing at San Diego Comic Con and currently guiding both teens and adults in local game stores and online sessions with friends. It would be my honor to be your Game Master. Feel free to reach out, secure a spot, and prepare for an unforgettable adventure. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Adventure awaits—brace yourselves for an exhilarating journey, fellow travelers!"
GM Style
Greetings, fellow adventurers! I'm GM Chapo, a seasoned tabletop RPG enthusiast with a penchant for both playing and running games. Step into my realm, where I've crafted intricate narratives within my Heroic Fantasy setting, particularly in the vibrant world of Kovar, which has thrived for over a decade. Whether it's delving into D&D modules or exploring my original creations, I strive to provide an immersive experience tailored to your preferences. Expect combat that's as gritty or tame as you desire, alongside innovative roleplaying opportunities and the occasional playful nod to the fourth wall. I revel in crafting dynamic NPCs and assisting players in realizing their roleplaying aspirations, even venturing into uncharted territories of class and skill creation. Outside the realm of gaming, I'm a proud veteran, a devoted family man, and a seasoned professional with diverse experiences. My passion for roleplaying extends beyond the table, as I've facilitated games at San Diego Comic Con and spearheaded community events catering to all ages. Currently, I'm embarking on the exciting journey of developing my own TTRPG system, complete with original content ranging from world-building to character options. Join me at my table, where adventure awaits and boundless possibilities await exploration. Feel free to reach out with any inquiries—I'm here to make your gaming experience unforgettable. See you soon!

He is always willing to answer questions no matter what level player you are and listen to ideas that you may have come up for your characters that relate to the world. He is also willing to play with the rule of cool and adjust different weapons to fit your character image better. But overall he listen to how is group is doing

Chapo is really good at being a guy to let things fly with creativity. He is also easy to talk to and readily available to negotiate. He also allows for many items and powers that are outside of normal mechanics of the game and he keeps combat interesting.
Valanis
Played intro session and had great time. DM encourages player creativity and works with his players towards great moments. Follows Rule of Cool, gives broad options on how to build you character and did good job in creating his world where we played. Also introduces new "mechanic" which works great in his setting and is rewarded greatly if done sucessfully.
