About me

Hi, I'm Kuzco. I've been playing RPGs for twenty years now, with half of that as a GM through multiple campaigns. I've always found RPGs to be the perfect mixture of being a writer and a reader, a participant and spectator, creator and creation. Hailing from Latin America, I'm a history major and a published writer, world traveller and fluent in english and spanish. I love board games, audiobooks, running, hiking, camping, and coffee. I've a lot of ideas and desire to tell and participate in stories, but over time, fewer friends able to participate. It's time to change that. Let's build a great story together, and have a good time.

GM Style

I'm a published fiction writer, so effective descriptions are something I specialize in. While I won't go overboard with how an inn looks like, expect a brush stroke about the old inkeeper's pox marks, the dull glow of lard candles, and the wench's patched gown. I tend towards the grittier, while staying well inside the comfortable and enjoyable. My campaigns tend to involve mud, rain, doubts, and hard choices. I tend to go for the lower spectrum of fantasy, but I can toe the line happily. I'll never aim for player character death, and I'll do my best to avoid it within reason, but I won't rule it out if the situation truly demands it (such as if you pilot your starship to try to ram the sun or you surrender to a pack of hungry wyverns). I also like to use enough images, music and sound effects to bring some good immersion.

Kuzco does an excellent job of mixing combat and roleplay, the encounters he makes are very well done and lots and lots of fun!

Kuzco was super easy to work with. Quite friendly. Very patient in - and very clear about - communicating the safety tools being used, the kind of game being played, and walking the players through any rule differences the campaign has to offer. The short adventure to introduce us to the setting was fun and engaging. Plenty of setting details and flavor. 10/10 would game again.

Fun and fair. Lots of fun when it comes learning the world, RP and combat. Rulings are also very clear and understandable(with rule of cool sprinkled in of course). Would absolutely recommend.

Kuzco is an amazing DM that listens to players want and delivers on them big time! He’s also terrific at setting the mood for each scene, no matter it’s funny or life threatening the moods always right. Would easily recommend him as a DM

I appreciated how he integrated things the players decided about their characters in interactions with NPCs and to flesh out the world even from the first session.
