About me

Hi everyone! I'm Rico, 26 year old, San Juan, Puerto Rico (EDT) based Dungeon Master. Formerly worked as a 5th grade classroom teacher and have a professional background in behavior therapy, but D&D and roleplay has truly been my passion! Playing fantasy games my whole life, and I've found I can be my best self when I'm escaping from reality into the world of imagination. Some of my best memories have come from my adventures with friends and clients at the table, and it would be a pleasure to share stories with you. I've DM'd at home sessions, conventions, FLGS, and now online; I run adventures with groups of children as well as adults, beginners and veterans alike. My commitment to my players is to be 100% engaging, focused and amenable during our sessions. I'm available and should be very easy to approach for any questions even outside our game time. If I'm online, just shoot me a message! Also, I'm always looking to continuously improve so I'm extremely appreciative of your feedback as a player. Every session, I want to have the best gaming experience with you, and with your help - we shall embark on truly memorable adventures!

GM Style

My games are a balance of tactical combat and deep character based roleplay. As an actor, I work to develop distinctly memorable characters and pride myself on my adaptability and quick wit. Never know what to expect when playing at my table! I've had sessions that were 100% combat and others that were 100% roleplay, but most are a healthy balance of the two. Heavily character driven stories, so while I provide the world players are also architects in what it holds and what turns the stories take.

Rico is awesome. He has been running a game for over a year for my son and his friends and they look forward to the sessions all week. Highly recommend Rico!

We were divided at the end of our game with a controversial decision to make, and Rico was an extremely effective mediator in the discussion that followed. He guided us through a journey we didn't expect and brought us together in such a cool way. I am always impressed when I play with Rico, he takes me out of myself and throws me into his world, so happy to be in his groups.

Honestly Rico is the best Dungeon Master I've ever seen, like people really need to get into a game with this guy. He's brought me such cherished times with great people, and it's because of the space that he creates for the group to flourish. Thanks Rico!

Such a memorable introduction to our adventure, we spent the whole session on character introductions and getting lost in each other's stories. Rico had such a way of weaving our PCs together!

Whoa, that was a wild ride! Rico runs an insanely fun game, with skill, humor, and even some crazy voice effects. He's knowledgeable, welcoming, and knows how to keep even a big group like ours engaged. We played for hours and hours, and I could have played more...
