About me

|| ## ENGLISH ## || I love stories! I love to tell them, but I am even more interested in getting to know new ones. RPGs are a great way for people to connect, and share their stories while creating stories together! I mostly enjoy the collaboration aspect of RPGs, especially in our hyper-individualized world. We have the opportunity to hone our creativity, roleplaying, critical thinking, and many other life skills while having a lot of fun, and having fun together! My favorite games are narrative and/or rules-light in which players are encouraged to explore and develop their characters. With my teaching background, I'm experienced in active listening and facilitation, which eases conversations and understanding for everybody in the group. My goal is to build immersive worlds and create unforgettable experiences WITH my players. I run both one-shots and campaigns in many different scenarios from books, movies, TV shows, and anime. I'm excited to create memorable stories with you! Are you ready to dive into a world of our making? 🚨 I ALSO DO CUSTOM-REQUEST GAMES!! 🚨 Check my Games Played section, below.

Amo contá-las, mas estou ainda mais interessado em descobrir novas histórias. Os RPGs são uma ótima maneira para as pessoas se conectarem e compartilharem suas histórias enquanto criam histórias juntas! Gosto principalmente do aspecto de colaboração dos RPGs, especialmente em nosso mundo hiperindividualizado. Temos a oportunidade de aprimorar nossa criatividade, interpretação de papéis, pensamento crítico e muitas outras habilidades vitais enquanto nos divertimos muito, e nos divertimos juntos! Meus jogos favoritos são narrativos e/ou com regras leves, nos quais os jogadores são incentivados a explorar e desenvolver seus personagens. Com meu histórico de professor, tenho experiência em escuta ativa e facilitação, o que torna as conversas e o entendimento mais fáceis para todos no grupo. Meu objetivo é construir mundos imersivos e criar experiências inesquecíveis COM meus jogadores. Eu conduzo tanto campanhas como sessões únicas em muitos cenários diferentes de livros, filmes, séries de TV e anime. Estou animado para criar histórias memoráveis com você!

GM Style

I appreciate, encourage and facilitate: - Safe play environments and use of Safety Tools. - Collaboration and a fiction-first approach. - Player and Character agency. - Worlds that invite exploration and adventure. - Trying out new systems and mechanics. Aiming to create a fun and immersive experience with my players, I like to adjust the balance between roleplay and combat according to the group, whether they're new to the game or seasoned veterans. 🛡️ Combat & Challenges - Challenging Encounters: Encounters are tough and offering multiplicity of solutions, with plenty of room for intelligent and creative tactics to solve them. 🌟 Creative & Flexible Gameplay - Rulings of Cool: I have a rules-light approach, embracing the "rule of cool" and negotiations to keep things fun and interesting. - Theater of the Mind: I encourage worlds to be brought to life with theater of the mind, with occasional freely available images (with respective referencing) to supplement when needed. I'm here for you, whether you're looking for a beginner-friendly game or a challenge for seasoned players!
