About Hugo
With nearly 4k hours logged into Roll20 and a number of adventures under my belt, I am an experienced DM who enjoys designing engaging sessions and building a joint story. I got introduced to D&D via liveplay podcasts and enjoying other ttrpg's with friends. As friends began moving away from our city we began adding online boardgames to our rotation and eventually I was introduced to 5e through joining several games. Eventually I took the plunge and began DM'ing for groups or friends then eventually groups of strangers met on LFG forums.

How Hugo runs games
I believe that Roll20 is capable of creating a gamified and immersive experience far beyond what most comparison videos would have you believe. I make creative use of API scripts and macros to streamline play and improve your experience. I strive for balance among the three pillars of DnD: combat, roleplay, and exploration. I base session encounters on what is most appropriate in terms of immediate objectives or events and what has been perhaps less of a focus in recent weeks. While I think tactical combat is always a fun and rewarding part of D&D I generally prefer for characters to be built with a "story-first" approach rather than min-maxing without real purpose other than big numbers. I believe that a game should be tailored around the choices and consequences of the players as they relate to a central tension. As I continue to DM, I'll begin adding more resources and automation to roll20 sheets to continue to streamline the dnd process so everyone can focus on the most important part of D&D... Having Fun!
