I got started GMing...

I got started GMing because there simply were not enough Game Masters around and I deeply wanted to play D&D. What began as a way to make games happen quickly grew into something much more, a way to connect with people, build meaningful relationships after the isolation of the pandemic, and let my

My favorite system of all Time is

My favorite system of all time is Pathfinder 2E. I fell in love with it because it addressed many of the shortcomings I felt in D&D 5E when I made the switch. Pathfinder 2E offers incredible depth, meaningful character choices, and balanced mechanics, making every session feel dynamic and rewarding.

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

Creative, Supportive, Adaptable

How Matheus Bueno runs games

I would describe my style as collaborative and rule-focused. I value the structure and balance of the system but enjoy adding thoughtful homebrew elements to make the experience more engaging and fun. I am also very open with players about my style and expectations, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and knows what kind of game we are building together.

I deal with rules issues by...

making a quick ruling in the moment so the game can keep flowing, then I look up the actual rule after the session. I believe I have a solid grasp of the rules, but no one knows everything, and I prefer not to let long searches slow down the fun at the table.

My favorite trope is...

moral dilemmas. I love presenting players with situations where there are no easy answers, only meaningful consequences. These moments push characters to reveal who they truly are, challenge their beliefs, and create stories that feel impactful and unforgettable long after the dice stop rolling.

My games focus on...

My games focus on creating a balanced mix of roleplay and tactical combat, where every player’s choices shape the story. I aim to keep sessions flowing, fun, and immersive, giving everyone space to develop their characters while advancing the narrative together.

Matheus Bueno's ideal table

My table is a welcoming space where players can feel safe to explore their characters, take risks, and truly immerse themselves in the story. I believe the best games are built together, so I encourage collaboration, open communication, and a spirit of shared creativity. I especially enjoy playing with people who want more than just to roll dice. If you are excited to step into your character’s shoes, make choices based on their perspective rather than only on mechanics, and let the story surprise you, you will fit right in. At my table, every decision has weight. I aim to balance deep roleplay with exciting tactical combat, making sure the game stays fair, engaging, and alive. Whether you are new to TTRPGs or have years of experience, I want each session to feel like an adventure where you and your character truly matter.

I love it when a player

I love it when a player describes their actions through their character’s perspective instead of just stating the mechanics. It makes the game feel more alive, helps everyone immerse in the story, and creates moments that stick with us long after the session ends.

I think it's a red flag when players...

react poorly to failure, like throwing a tantrum over a failed roll, instead of seeing it as an opportunity for growth and storytelling. Challenges and setbacks are what make the game interesting and help characters truly evolve.

I think min/maxing...

can be a useful tool to make a character effective, but it should never be the only focus. True fun comes from bringing a character to life through their story, personality, and choices. Character design and backstory should never feel limited by pure optimization.
