About me

I was born in Colombia and now call New York City my home. As a proud father, my days are filled with moments of joy and challenge, each teaching me more about patience and understanding. When I’m not weaving fantastical tales, I work as a paramedic—a role that keeps me grounded and reminds me daily of the value of service and dedication. My hobbies include a deep appreciation for Hip Hop and Salsa music as well as being actively involved in labor and social justice organizing, advocating for fairness and equity, which are principles I hold dear. I am bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish fluently. In all, I bring my whole self to each session—not just as a Dungeon Master, but as a person enriched by a variety of life experiences. I look forward to sharing some of these experiences with you in our adventures together!

Balancing Chance 🎲 and Skill 🧠 in a Living World 🌍 Here’s what you can expect when you hire me as your Game Master: 1. Realism and Chance: Just like in the classic games of childhood, our TTRPG sessions embrace elements of unpredictability. Your characters will encounter both fortuitous and challenging situations shaped by the roll of the dice. This means that sometimes, despite having great stats, a character might face unexpected difficulties, or a seemingly underpowered character might survive against the odds. In our game, it’s not just about the numbers, but how you adapt to them. 2. Creative Problem Solving: I encourage players to think outside the box 📦. Unlike games with rigid rules, our sessions are more like the real world—complex, and open to inventive solutions. Whether you’re navigating political intrigue or planning a daring heist, your strategies and decisions will have tangible consequences in the game world. This approach not only enhances immersion but also rewards clever thinking and planning. 3. Character Depth and Development: In our adventures, you’ll explore more than just dungeons; you’ll delve into the complexities of your characters' personalities and backgrounds. I help bring your character's knowledge and ignorance into play, enriching your role-playing experience. Whether it’s a character’s unique skills or their misconceptions about the world, these elements will influence your journey. 4. Risk and Reward: Our game embraces the harsh realities of a semi-medieval setting, where life is fragile and treasure is the true measure of success 💰. Your character’s growth is directly tied to the risks you take and the wealth you accumulate. From daring raids to strategic retreats, every choice could be your path to greatness—or your perilous undoing. 5. Ethical and Social Dimensions: While our setting reflects the harsher aspects of a historical world, including social and gender dynamics, these elements are handled with care, focusing on creating a compelling story rather than overshadowing the game with modern controversies. Your comfort and enjoyment are paramount, and I am committed to adjusting the game dynamics to ensure a respectful and engaging experience for everyone. 6. Open Communication: I believe in a strong social contract with my players. If you enjoy the game, I expect punctuality and engagement 👍. If something bothers you, I encourage open and immediate communication, ensuring that our game remains a positive and enjoyable experience for all. Together, we’ll navigate a world where your actions have weight, your decisions matter, and your creativity can flourish. Let’s embark on unforgettable adventures where you can truly leave your mark!
