About Marco

I’m a novelist and writer for tabletop role-playing games. I’ve been playing and running various TTRPGs since discovering the Dungeons & Dragons basic set in grade school. Most recently, I’ve run The One Ring (1st edition), Star Trek Adventures, and Twilight: 2000 (4th edition).

How Marco runs games

In my approach to tabletop role-playing games, I embrace the belief that each game serves as a platform for collaborative storytelling within the framework of its rules. My primary aim is to empower players to immerse themselves in a narrative style of play, fostering shared storytelling between them and the GM. These games, in their essence, echo the timeless tradition of oral storytelling, a practice ingrained in our history long before the advent of written language. Stories are integral to our understanding of self and the world, often giving rise to myths and shaping our perceptions. While I emphasize 'theater of the mind' as our main canvas, I do incorporate visual aids like maps and tokens when they enhance the experience. While not a professional voice actor or versed in improv theater, my passion lies in facilitating collaborative storytelling within the virtual confines of our tabletop sessions.
