I became a GM because

I love storytelling and creating worlds where people can feel seen, excited, and immersed. Sharing adventures, emotions, and imagination with others is deeply fulfilling—and running games lets me turn that passion into something magical for every player.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Whimsical, Deepminded, and Passionate (I asked them!)

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

Usually I’m worldbuilding, creating custom visuals, or writing new story ideas. I teach Communication and Media, watch anime, play video games, and explore new fandoms for inspiration. Even in my downtime, I’m gathering sparks for the next great adventure.

How Luis runs games

I run games that are deeply roleplay-focused and story-driven, where character choices matter and the world reacts to everything you do. Combat exists, but it’s light, fast, and always in service of the narrative — never a roadblock or a slowdown. My sessions are highly immersive, blending music, custom visuals, and descriptive storytelling to create the feeling of stepping into a living world. I build entire settings from the ground up with an exceptional level of detail: cities, cultures, political tensions, social dynamics, factions, NPCs, history, myths — everything. I’m flexible and responsive. I shape the scene around your characters, their goals, their emotions, and the choices they make. Whether you want high drama, quiet introspection, chaotic humor, or a blend of everything, I adapt the tone without breaking immersion. Above all, my table is a place where story comes first. Your character’s journey is the heart of the game, and every session is crafted to feel meaningful, emotional, and truly alive.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

I would say that they would be a TV series with episodes directed by Peter Jackson, Guillermo Del Toro, Steven Spielberg and James Cameron. And it would definitely have a killer soundtrack!

Rules are...

a framework, not a cage. They guide the game, but the story, the players, and the shared fun always come first. I use rules to support immersion—not to restrict creativity or slow down the adventure.

When it comes to voices

my years of theater really shine through. I love giving each NPC their own tone, rhythm, or personality. It adds life, humor, and emotion to the story, and helps players feel fully immersed in the world.

Luis's ideal table

My table is perfect for players who love strong roleplay, character-driven stories, and cinematic immersion. If you enjoy deep narratives, emotional choices, rich worldbuilding, and collaborative storytelling, you’ll feel right at home. Combat is present but light and fast—this table is more about story, atmosphere, and character moments than tactical grind. I welcome beginners and experienced players alike, especially those who value creativity, flexibility, and respectful collaboration. My sessions use custom visuals, curated music, and fully realized settings, so players who enjoy immersive aesthetics will thrive here. The vibe at my table is friendly, supportive, and story-focused. I encourage roleplay, teamwork, and emotional investment, while keeping the space safe, comfortable, and adaptable. If you want a meaningful, cinematic adventure where your character truly matters, this is the table for you.

I love it when a player

becomes fully emotionally engaged—excited, invested, and reacting to the story as if they’re truly there. When they connect with the world and feel every moment, the session becomes alive and the storytelling truly shines.

My perfect party mix is

a group that loves deep, character-focused storytelling but also knows how to relax, joke around, and have fun during lighter moments. Players who can laugh together, enjoy the journey, and then take the intense, emotional scenes seriously create the ideal balance for an unforgettable adventure.

My table is not the place for...

players who stay on their phones or disengage during others’ turns, or for those who only want to kill monsters and get bored when the story takes center stage. I focus on immersion, roleplay, and shared narrative—not constant combat.
