About Omar, the Cartesian Roach
I was nine years old when I was introduced to the marvelous world of Dungeons and Dragons by my older brothers. It was amazing for me how I and my fellow players could have the experience of being the main characters of an exciting story. Soon I wanted to share this with everyone, so I became the forever Dungeon Master of all the school and job places throughout my career. This love for tales that TTRPG gave to me turned me into a scriptwriter in my adult life. All the joyful fun that happens around the table during a game session also had an impact on me towards comedy. I currently work at two tv shows (One comedy show and one D&D show) in Mexico. I also have been a professional GM for five years now. With these jobs, I happen to be a very happy man. I'm bilingual, so some of my games are in English, and then some others are played in Spanish. A lot has happened in the world over the past few years, things that have changed how we face our life and how we see ourselves. So mental health is also a big issue for me. My games are focused on creating a connection between the adults we are now and the inner child that fuels our day-to-day life with the energy of JOY.

I'm a single Father, so parenting is one of my main activities. I have two other jobs (But GMing is my main one). 1.- I do social work for a "Men Against Violence" organisation. 2.- I also work as a scriptwriter for a comedy TV show in México.
How Omar, the Cartesian Roach runs games
I am faithful to the plot, but my true loyalty stands with my players. I take my time to create compelling adventures, bringing intrigue, action, and wonderful plot twists that are full of roleplay. I mainly run D&D 5e games. I enjoy creating new worlds but I'm also a fan of existing settings, such as Menzoberranzan. For this reason, I love to adapt novels into games as well as bringing back some mechanics of previous editions. Miniatures and Dioramas are a huge thing for me. All of my games include a FREE virtual 3D custom-made miniature just for you and all the action scenes happen in 3D maps. My groups are a safe place for every player to explore the vastness of their creativity and unleash their POWER! Can’t wait to play with you!

I deal with rules issues by...
Making a fair ruling, keeping the game moving, and checking the rules afterward if needed. Challenge should come from the adventure—not from arguing with the DM.
If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
Denis Villeneuve for the worldbuilding, George Miller for the action, and Guillermo del Toro for the emotion behind the monsters.
My games focus on...
Putting your character in difficult situations where choices matter, victories feel earned, and failure is always possible. Expect challenging encounters, deep roleplay, dangerous worlds, and cinematic battles brought to life with miniatures and detailed maps.
