About me

Hello! My name is Thomas, I'm 23 and I've been interested in games and education since I was young(er). While I've played board games as early as I can remember, I've dived into the world of Game Mastering and Role Playing during the last 5 years. I'm very friendly, love what I do, and make sure that everyone I GM for has fun, gets what they are looking for from the experience, and feels good and safe. I speak english and spanish fluently, have worked in education with children and teens for over 10 years, have extensive as a Game Master and Player for a variety of game systems, including D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Call of Cthulhu, Cypher System, homebrew mixes and more. I also have a constantly expanding catalogue of resources for games I use such as Roll 20 Pro, Foundry VTT, Czepeku Maps and more... What really differentiates me from other GMs I think is my genuine love for all my players and desire for them to enjoy themselves thoroughly. I'm very flexible, adaptable and can run with any situation players throw at me and make it work, feel earned and real, and have lasting consequences. I also love game design and learning new game systems so very easily can run new, hybrid, mixed and/or homebrew games. I take being a GM very seriously and am very reliable, almost always available to answer messages, and adapt easily to any problems, even in days where only one person can show up for a session I can adapt and make it fun while not negatively affecting those that couldn't make it. Hopefully see you soon!

GM Style

I personalize my games to my players, molding the rules, world, story, tone, theme and every element of the game to their style of play, character backstories, and what they want from the game. I love exploration, roleplay and combat equally, mix them well, but also don't mind one or another being completely prevalent.
