About Gabriel

Greetings, Dears and Darlings! I'm Gabriel Caetano, pronouns she/them, a professional Role-Playing Game Facilitator (aka GM) from Brazil. I am Queer and neurodivergent, and I am a proud Global South TTRPG creator. I specialise in Fiction-Driven Adventures for Passionate Role Players. Together I we will create and visit wondrous worlds in a variety of genres, from fantasy to sci-fi, experiencing adventures full of comedy and drama, struggle and joy, losses and victories.

Featured Prompts

My favorite system of all Time is

Powered by the Apocalypse, specifically Thirsty Sword Lesbians and Apocalypse Keys, followed by OSR/NSR, especially Cairn.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Ciarn, Ultraviolet Grasslands, and Apocalypse Keys

When I'm not running games I'm...

with my family, playing videogames, or just chilling with my partner. I also teach EFL, so I do a bit of that too for a change.

How Gabriel runs games

I value, not in any particular order: - player and character agency; - collaborative, fiction-first approach; - worlds that invite exploration and adventure; - safe play environments.

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

collaboration, character growth, and exploration.

Rules are...

best when they don't interfere with the roleplay but lift it instead.

I prep by

creating scenarios as sandboxes where problems don't have set solutions, instead players get to experiment and test their tools to crate their own.

Gabriel's ideal table

My ideal table brings together a group of curious, adventurous players who seek to explore the worlds and build relations with it. Also, players who are keen on engaging and respecting each others boundaries, and who are open to trying new things.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

sets themself up for failure on purpose just for drama or lols.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

science fantasy, weird worlds, exploration, dilemmas, cool characters and words before swords

My table is not the place for...

arguing over rules. I'll pick a ruling, check in with the others, and if no consensus is found in 30 seconds, I'll flip a coin and circle back to it after the session.
