About me

I have been running role-playing games for more than 20 years and my main goal is to create epic stories together. I love to play on the edge of danger, where nothing seems too easy for the characters to feel like true heroes. I am obsessed with balance to ensure that nothing is too hard to hinder a good story. I love to run Pathfinder campaigns in Golarion. Every campaign I run gives me more tools and knowledge about the world and immediately enriches the sessions. I am very strict with respect with and among the players and with openness and inclusiveness in my games. Everyone is welcome and can rest assured that if something causes discomfort it will be addressed immediately and resolved. I have introduced countless people to the world of role-playing in many different systems. I am a Nerdmaker, so if you are new, don’t worry and get ready to have a new hobby. Bring your partner, your friends, your grandparents and your dog and let’s start building the characters. There are many adventures to be told! --------------------------------------------- Dirijo juegos de rol desde hace más de 20 años y mi principal objetivo es crear historias en conjunto que sean épicas. Me fascina jugar en el filo del peligro, en donde nada parezca demasiado fácil para que los personajes puedan sentirse como verdaderos héroes. Soy un obsesivo del balance para asegurar también que nada sea demasiado difícil como para trabar una buena historia. Me encanta dirigir campañas de Pathfinder en Golarion. Cada campaña que dirijo me da más herramientas y conocimientos sobre el mundo y enriquece inmediatamente las sesiones. Soy muy estricto con el respeto con y entre los jugadores y con la apertura y la inclusividad en mis partidas. Todos son bienvenidos y se pueden quedar tranquilos de que si algo genera malestar será abordado inmediatamente y resuelto. He iniciado a incontables personas en el mundo del rol en muchos sistemas distintos. Soy un Nerdmaker, así que si sos nuevo, no te preocupes y prepárate para tener un nuevo hobby. Trae a tu pareja, tus amigos, tus abuelos y tu perro y empecemos a armar los personajes. ¡Hay muchas aventuras por ser contadas!

GM Style

I like to have fun in the game, and that the players can generate an enmity with the enemies that can be felt since that makes the story ours. I never let a rule kill a good story but at the same time I try not to unbalance the game between the players. I prefer the cooperative type of game unless a character has very good reasons to go against his team and this is agreed upon by the players. ---------------------------------- Me gusta divertirme en la partida, y que los jugadores puedan generar una enemistad con los enemigos que se pueda sentir ya que eso hace que la historia sea nuestra. Nunca dejo que una regla mate una buena historia pero al mismo tiempo trato de que nada desbalancee el juego entre los jugadores. Prefiero el tipo de juego cooperativo a menos que un personaje tenga muy buenas razones para inr en contra de su equipo y esto sea consensuado entre los jugadores.

Always prioritizing the rule of cool over "what ifs", consistent enough and permissive enough too. He balances fights and encounters around the party to the point where, when the important plot point encounters appear, it never feels like it's an impossible win but it isn't an easy one either. Encourages a lot of roleplay as well, for example, giving Hero Points in exchange of tying up loose knots in the lore and coming to correct conclusions while paying attention to the story and/or integrating your own PC background into it. Sets the mood with the right ambient music and makes the voices of the characters as best as he can so it never feels like you are talking to the same NPC. Strict following of the time passing by in the day while your party is idle also forces you to be on your toes instead of wasting a full session on doing pointless stuff that doesn't aid into anything (not roleplaying or anything useful). All and all a great GM to have if you are willing to put effort in your own PC's backstory and make it work in the current setting while also allowing you to try different stuff with some moderation (creating a new character to try out in a non plot deciding session, for example).

It's really fun play with him. He plays with your mind and make you doubt about yourself, but in am ejoyable way.
