About me

Hello. My name is Matheus, but you can can me 'Heavy' or 'Matt' (I know, that in the tabletop community may cause a little bit of confusion). I am a relatively new Game Master from Brazil (🇧🇷) with around 3-4 years experience. In may 2024, a natural disaster struck in my city and I lost my house and my job, so I decided to dive into professional DMing as a way of making ends meet. Preparation is one of my favorite parts of the craft, so expect detailed, beatiful and thematic (battle)maps and encounters and general. Usually going for a good split of combat, exploration and gameplay, rewarding creativity and quick thinking. So get ready to wallop a goblin with an oversized sturgeon and let's get dicin'!

GM Style

🎨I love creativity and I'm always trying to make different goals for combat ⚔️; 🧩 Dynamic puzzles; 🧔🏼 Unpredictable social encounters. I usually try to balance the three pillars - exploration, role-playing and combat, but will almost always have a combat encounter per game session - unless the players set a role-´playing priority. Always go for detailed encounters because I love preparing and making voices and impressions, so expect a very immersive experience.
