About Leopoldo "Leovor" Rueda
👋 Hello, I’m Leo, and I’m here to bring your next unforgettable adventure to life. With over 24 years of experience as a Game Master, I’ve guided players through horror mysteries, cosmic terrors, and epic fantasy quests. My main passion—and greatest strength—is horror gaming, especially Call of Cthulhu, where atmosphere, investigation, and creeping dread combine into unforgettable experiences. If you crave suspense, mystery, and stories that linger long after the session ends, you’ve found your Keeper. 🎲 What I Specialize In My expertise lies in horror and atmospheric storytelling, particularly with games like: 🕵️‍♂️ Call of Cthulhu – My signature game. From classic 1920s horror to modern-day nightmares, I specialize in building tension and bringing cosmic dread to life. 🕶️ Delta Green – Psychological horror meets covert operations, where paranoia is part of the mission. 👽 Alien RPG – Survival horror in space; cinematic, deadly, and unforgettable. Beyond horror, I have a deep love for narrative-focused and old-school fantasy games—stories where player choices, clever problem-solving, and creativity shape the adventure far more than optimization or mechanics. Some of my favorite systems include: ⚔️ Dungeon Crawl Classics – Wild, chaotic, and brimming with old-school energy. 📜 Old-School Essentials – Classic exploration, dangerous delves, and meaningful choices. 🖤 Mörk Borg – Grim, apocalyptic, and artistically twisted. 🏰 Shadowdark RPG – A perfect mix of modern design and old-school dungeon-crawling tension. If you enjoy games where imagination drives the action and every roll tells a story, you’ll feel right at home at my table. 🌍 About Me I’m bilingual—fluent in Spanish (my native language) and English—originally from Venezuela and now based in Chile. I’ve run games for players across the USA, UK, and Spain, always tailoring my approach to the group’s tone, interests, and experience. As a 📚 published writer, I’ve contributed three Call of Cthulhu scenarios to Chaosium’s Miskatonic Repository, where my focus on tension, pacing, and atmosphere has earned praise from both new and veteran investigators. 🎥 Want to see me in action? Check my YouTube link for recorded sessions and campaigns I’ve run for the THC community. 💡 What You Can Expect 🌟 Beginner-Friendly Horror – I love teaching new players and introducing them to the worlds of mystery and madness. 🎨 Immersive Adventures – Expect rich atmosphere, custom maps, evocative music, and vivid narration. 🛡️ Collaborative Storytelling – Your choices matter; every decision shapes the unfolding mystery. 📜 Old-School Spirit – Embrace risk, think creatively, and roll the dice to see where fate leads. 🔥 Why Choose Me? 🕵️‍♂️ Expert in Horror – Decades of experience running Call of Cthulhu and other investigative games. ⚔️ Old-School & Narrative Focused – For players who love tension, creativity, and story-driven play. ⏳ 24 Years of Experience – A GM who knows how to balance dread, drama, and fun. 🎠Passionate & Professional – Every session is carefully crafted to immerse, challenge, and thrill. Ready to descend into darkness or brave the perils of classic adventure? Check out my games or send me a message—I’d love to bring your next story to life. Let’s make something unforgettable together. See you at the table!

I got started GMing...
24ish years ago, when thanks to the original Baldur's Gate I got curious about TTRPG and saw the AD&D 2nd Edition Starter Box in a small bookstore. Me and my friends decided to try it and havent looked back since Still have that orange d20 die.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Playing videogames. Love RPGs , adventure and retrogames, among others.
How Leopoldo "Leovor" Rueda runs games
I run games with a strong horror and OSR influence, where the dice drive tension and every choice matters. I love when bold risks and clever thinking create unforgettable moments of triumph—or terror. As a horror-focused GM, I use atmosphere, pacing, and vivid narration to build tension that creeps under your skin. I reward creativity and roleplay over rules-lawyering, and I only skip rolls when they’d slow the story’s momentum. My conflicts are cinematic and consequential—every wound, every scream, every flicker of the candle feels real. Above all, I’m easygoing and player-focused. My table is welcoming to newcomers and veterans alike: just tell me what your character wants to do, and together we’ll make the story unforgettable.

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 table is a place where we come together to craft memorable stories—because for me, that’s the main goal (besides having fun, of course). I love creating those moments that stick with you long after the game ends. The vibe at my table is relaxed and welcoming. I’m always happy to teach, and I don’t believe in getting bogged down by technicalities. If there’s ever a rules question and no quick answer is available, I’ll make a fair ruling to keep the story moving and we’ll adjust if needed later. If you enjoy old-school adventuring, horror games and collaborative storytelling in a chill, supportive environment—my table is the place for you.

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!
