About Leopoldo "Leovor" Rueda

👋 Hello, I’m Leo — a professional Game Master specializing in immersive horror roleplaying. With over 24 years of experience, I focus on delivering tense, atmospheric games built around investigation, dread, and meaningful player choice. My tables are designed for players who want suspense, strong narrative cohesion, and stories that linger long after the session ends. If you’re looking for carefully paced horror, deep immersion, and a GM who treats the game seriously while keeping it fun and welcoming — you’re in the right place. 🕯️ My Specialization: Horror & Investigative Play Horror is my main focus and strongest discipline. I specialize in games where atmosphere, mystery, and tension drive the experience: 🕵️ Call of Cthulhu – My signature system. From classic 1920s investigations to modern cosmic horror, I emphasize slow-burn dread, strong clues, and player-driven discovery. 🕶️ Delta Green – Psychological and conspiracy horror, where paranoia, secrecy, and moral pressure are as dangerous as the Mythos itself. 👽 ALIEN RPG – Cinematic survival horror in space: lethal, intense, and tightly paced, inspired by the tone of the films. My games prioritize investigation, character perspective, and narrative tension over mechanical complexity or power gaming. 🌍 About Me I’m bilingual — fluent in Spanish (native) and English — originally from Venezuela and currently based in Chile. I’ve run games for players across the USA, UK, and Spain, and I adapt my style to match each group’s experience level and expectations. I’m also a published writer, with three Call of Cthulhu scenarios released on Chaosium’s Miskatonic Repository, where my work has been praised for atmosphere, pacing, and table usability. 💡 What You Can Expect at My Table 🌑 Beginner-Friendly Horror – New players are welcome; I enjoy teaching systems and easing people into horror roleplaying. 🎭 Immersive Presentation – Atmospheric narration, music, and visual support when appropriate. 🧩 Player-Driven Investigation – Your choices matter; clever thinking is rewarded. ⏱️ Professional Reliability – Clear communication, preparation, and respect for everyone’s time. 🔥 Why Choose Me? 🕯️ Horror Specialist – Decades of experience running investigative and atmospheric horror. 📚 Published & Proven – Officially released Call of Cthulhu scenarios with real table use. 🎲 Narrative-First GMing – Focus on tension, mood, and meaningful decisions. 🤝 Respectful & Inclusive – A safe, collaborative table where everyone gets a voice. Ready to uncover dark secrets, face cosmic terror, or struggle to survive against impossible odds? Browse my available games or send me a message — I’d be glad to bring your next horror story to life. Let’s make something unforgettable together.

I got started GMing...

About 24 years ago, after discovering TTRPGs through the original Baldur’s Gate and an AD&D 2E starter box, I began GMing with friends. A few years later I found Call of Cthulhu—and horror, investigation, and cosmic dread became my main focus ever since.

People are always surprised when I tell them

i'm law school graduate back in my country

When I'm not running games I'm...

Playing videogames—especially RPGs, adventure games, and retro classics. I stream retro and narrative-driven games on Twitch, where storytelling and atmosphere are as important as gameplay.

How Leopoldo "Leovor" Rueda runs games

I run games with a strong focus on horror and tension, where atmosphere, pacing, and player choices drive the experience. The dice matter, risk matters, and every decision can push the story toward revelation—or disaster. As a horror-focused GM, I use mood, vivid narration, and careful pacing to build tension that slowly creeps in rather than relying on constant shock. I reward creativity, roleplay, and smart thinking over rules-lawyering, and I only call for rolls when they add meaning or suspense to the scene. My conflicts are cinematic and consequential—violence is dangerous, fear is real, and success is earned. Every clue uncovered, every wound suffered, and every moment of hesitation has weight. Above all, I’m easygoing and player-focused. My table is welcoming to newcomers and veterans alike: tell me what your character wants to do, and together we’ll shape a tense, memorable story.

I deal with rules issues by...

If an answer cant be found in a few minutes in the text, I make a rule that is fair for everyone involved and apply any corrections later if needed.

My games focus on...

Storytelling, supported by the outcome of the dice and players decision. A story crafted between GM, players and dice, which adds that fun random unexpected factor.

When it comes to voices

I love doing them even if I suck at some of them

Leopoldo "Leovor" Rueda's ideal table

My ideal table is a place where we come together to create memorable stories—experiences that stay with you long after the session ends. Fun is essential, of course, but so is immersion, trust, and shared investment in the story we’re telling. The atmosphere at my table is relaxed, respectful, and welcoming. I’m always happy to teach new players, and I don’t let rules discussions bog down the game. If a question comes up and there’s no quick answer, I’ll make a fair ruling to keep things moving and revisit it later if needed. If you enjoy horror and investigative games, collaborative storytelling, and a chill, supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to engage and contribute, you’ll feel right at home at my table.

I love it when a player

come up with actions that complement and shape the ongoing story in ways I didnt foresee but fit right in or end up being even better or funnier.

I think metagaming...

Should be avoided. Learn to separate what your character knows from what your player knows. Thats the best skill a ropleplayer can have.

I think min/maxing...

is boring! leave that for videogames and wargaming, learn to have fun in randomness and flawed characters!
