About Pedro Oliveira

Hi, I am Pedro Oliveira, I have studied game development and Film Production, I love to write, travel and playing games of all kinds, but with a particular love for RPGs. I have been playing RPGs since I was 10 years old when my older brother invited to participate in one of his games, I fell in love quickly with RPGs and never stopped playing them. I am very creative and energized, so I always ended up in the GM seat, building worlds and stoires is always a great pleasure for me. My friends and players often describe me as a diplomatic and thoughtful GM who prioritizes everyone’s enjoyment at the table. I’m a good listener, and I care about creating a welcoming, fun, and engaging experience for all my players. I lived in Dublin for three years, studying Film Production and English, and there as well managed to find a RPG group to continue my hobby.

How Pedro Oliveira runs games

I am very flexible in my approach. I love roleplay, but I also enjoy tactical combat. Depending on the system and what the group is looking for, I adapt my style to meet the expectations of the campaign. Ideally, I like to create a balance between roleplay and combat. Depending on the system and the story being told, this can mean several sessions focused entirely on roleplay, where social interactions feel as tense and meaningful as combat, with high-stakes negotiations and difficult choices. It can also mean sessions centered on tactical combat, where I encourage deep roleplaying moments as characters fight for their lives in intense situations. One of the aspects I value most is character progression. I want players to feel that their characters evolve, not only in power, but also in personality, relationships, and personal story arcs.

Pedro Oliveira's ideal table

I’m happy to play with all types of players, introverts or extroverts, combat focused or roleplay focused. At all of my tables, the overall vibe is light and fun. That doesn’t mean there won’t be intense roleplay, tough battles, or survival situations, but I enjoy having a laugh with my players and making sure everyone feels comfortable and works together as a team.
