About me

I have been DM'ing TTRPGs every week from april/2019 onwards and have been a forever DM since then. My games include heavy roleplay and tactical combat. I am always trying to create unique experiences and memorable moments with plenty room for character development. Everything that you do on my games becomes canon to the world. Ongoing campaigns: Curse of Strahd, weekly on sunday nights, started september/2023. Descent into Avernus, bi-weekly on wednesday nights, started february/2023. Curse of Strahd, bi-weekly on wednesday nights, started august/2022.

GM Style

When it comes to DND, my biggest priority is creating the game that will satisfy everyone at the table the most. As a GM, I focus on understanding what the players want and than delivering it. If players want to go for more combat oriented game, than combat shall we face. I will adjust games for begginers as well as for experienced people. One of the things I love the most about TTRPGs is that they allow us to tell a more believable story than if one were to write a book alone. Players and their chaotic decisions are what makes the universe alive, and thats what drives me into playing again and again. We all know rules are important in the game, but that should not be a hinderance for good story telling. While I generally stick to the RAW and RAI ideologies, I will apply the Rule of Cool if its required to assure fun at the table or if a player needs safety.

Luis has a refreshing take on the game, and does such a fantastic job displaying his knowledge of the rules. His version of our current campaign has been really interesting, and coming from someone who's played this particular campaign many, many times, that's saying a lot!

Versatility and flexibility, authenticity, knows the rule and knows how to follow the script! He keeps the ride fun and avoid tedious runs!

He is always doing his homework, looking for better ways to make encounters more fun for each player individualy and the party as a whole. He gives space for every player (even the shy ones) to talk and make their role-play on their time and pace. He has no problem in bending the rules, but it gotta be talk throught before hand, and not in the moment of "bending" such rules. He is gentle when correcting people about rules/limits of their character power. Good for role-playing and knows how to create good combat as well (uses terrains, cover, fly, walls, and even cities as part of the combat encounter).

Muito divertido, pelo fato de estudar bem a história e os acontecimentos, gerenciando de forma equilibrada, sempre se atentando as regras do jogo.

This guy is an awesome GM. He is super patient with new players (talking from experience here) and is always ready to listen to player arguments on a ruling. Great story teller also.
