About me

In the summer of 2019, a friend asked me if I wanted to play D&D, I was curious about the game so I watched several videos on youtube to learn more about the game and how to play. Because of scheduling conflicts, we only got to play one session. Eventually, I decided that I needed to DM and find a group if I wanted to play, so on March 2020, I DMed my first game. During this time, I have also played and/or GMed Vampire the Masquerade, Kids on Bikes, Call of Cthulhu, and Masks: A New Generation.

GM Style

I like to have a balance of social, combat, and exploration and I'll adjust depending on what the players seem to enjoy more.

João is a wonderful ST! The one-shot was super fun and he is really great at explaining everything and making a great environment to roleplay in

Had such a great time with João Miguel! Our group as a whole was absolutely amazing and the music and visual aids were 100% on point! Wasn’t originally sure if I’d be able to participate, but the group generously agreed to move the start time back by 30mins so I could be included! So glad it all worked out because this was the Best Halloween I’ve had in a long time! 🎃🐈‍⬛👻 Thank you again! 💕💖

As a complete newbie to VTM (and RPGs in general) I felt very welcomed into the one shot and had gameplay and lore explained to me throughout. They took time to include me and made it really fun and I can’t wait to join a campaign! Thanks again for a great Halloween!

João was great at guiding a group of novice adventurers through a fun quest.

If you I can put more tags in here I would. Jursias is an amazing DM that didn't bombard us with rules and explained everything in a very simple way. This was my first time playing D&D and the adventure we went on was amazing. As a first time player, he gave our group enough instructions to be able to move forward with the story but not spoil it. The one thing I also liked is that there was no pressure to do heavy roleplay. I would definitely play another game with him.

Super lovely game, it was my first D&D game. Great guidance and explanation. The Noble 4 will meet again! =)
