About Tonio The Storyteller
Greetings! I’m Tonio, and storytelling is my greatest passion. I specialize in narrative games, with tons of drama, feeling, and cinematic narration. I worked at ND Hobbies as a writer (and sometimes editor) for D&D and OSR Content -if you look for me in there, things will be published with my legal name, Mauricio R. C. I’ve been running RPGs for almost half my life. I’ve also participated in theater, taken voice acting courses with renowned professionals in Latin America, and won awards in both short story and poetry competitions. Spanish is my native language, but I have got a Cambridge Certificate for advanced English skills. I’ve also designed my own roleplaying games (See my Itchio page https://spooksong-studio.itch.io) I run the Doctor Who RPG, D&D 5E, some OSR Games, Vampire 20th, Werewolf 20th, Mage 20th and 2e, Changeling 20th, Wraith 20th, Hunter 1e, Fate, some indie games, and more. Ask me about your favorite system! I'm also a defender of Changeling: The Dreaming. Along with CtD, my other favorite game is Ars Magica.

How Tonio The Storyteller runs games
Narrative is my speciality, and I run games in the style of Critical Role, with emphasis on character, storytelling, and a world that feels alive. My games are always full of twists, big character moments, and worlds crafted with meticulous care.
Tonio The Storyteller's ideal table
I adapt well, but players who bring character drama to the table are the ones who find most enjoyment in the kind of game I run. However, the vibe is one of fun and enjoyment, and there's no pressure or skill requirements of any kind. We're here to have fun.
