About DM 'Ironheart' Melo
As a seasoned chef by trade, when I'm not whipping up culinary masterpieces in the kitchen, I'm a tabletop RPG Game Master, conjuring fantastical worlds for brave adventurers to explore. I bring my chef's touch to the table, running lighthearted "beer and pretzel" games where laughter flows freely. My games run primarily on Foundry Vtt, using discord for voice and video. My DM style is improvisational and i love to make things up on the fly and use silly voices. I've run games for my local FLGS for 8 years and 10 years in total, as well as teaching role playing games as part of afterschool clubs for 3-5th graders and 5-8th graders. Using my years of experience, i've run tables as big as 12 players with ages from 60+ to as low as 4! Very open to trying new and different RPG's and stepping out of my comfort zone, experience is the mother of wisdom! Check out my youtube for my live play series to get a feel for who i am!

I became a GM because
It was too difficult to get into long running games. I wanted a place where i jump in and get playing and learning but i could not find one, so i decided I would be that place and person! Here we are now, fightin' monsters and kissin wenches!
How DM 'Ironheart' Melo runs games
My gm style is very fun and lighthearted, i rather get a laugh than make a player cry from the drama! Combat is fun but my experience has taught me less is more sometimes and it's better to understand your players and what they want. My NPCs are usually memorable and are often reoccurring no matter what system were playing, there will always be a 'Doris' receptionist from new jersey with a beehive hairdo and long fingernails. Most of the time it's Frank and Larry than ANARAX THORBRAND 7th CAPTAIN OF THE 501st MILITIA.
DM 'Ironheart' Melo's ideal table
My table is a light hearted place where you can be yourself and lean into your player archetype. I enjoy levity and players who fill in the quiet moments.
