About the Game Master: Erick

My name is Erick and I have been a regular RPG player since 2015, if I'm not mistaken. But I've been involved in the world of RPGs and have been a fan since I was a little kid, when my brother used to GM for me. I'm just getting into the world of professional GMing now, so I have a lot of experience with the game but I'm still getting my feet wet on the professional side.

I know 5th Edition very well (although the recent revisions are a bit confusing), and I'm a big fan of game design in general; so I also enjoy creating content and tweaking the rules as needed. I've played a few other systems, but 5th Edition is my favorite by far.

I really enjoy introducing the game to beginners and helping them learn not only how to use the system, but also how to think in the way that RPGs require, but I'm also very willing to discuss and deal with the thoughts of those who are more experienced or involved in the game like I am. It's my favorite hobby, and I genuinely believe it has a lot of narrative, rational and even therapeutic value.

I'm quite humorous as a GM; I even have a tendency to lose the thread of the story by getting into jokes about what's going on. Although I embrace heavy themes and take the narrative itself seriously within the game, our communion as writers and players is something very light and comfortable for me.

I believe I have good things to offer as a DM. Between understanding game design well, being good-humored and understanding narrative to build and interpret the game and the players well, all applied to my experience as a DM, I provide a good gaming experience for both beginners and veteran players.

The campaigns I have DM'ed to date have featured well-involved narratives, characters and players intrinsically connected to the plot and powerful emotional points, combined with a fun and tense moment-to-moment gameplay, between humor and difficult (but fair) battles. And throughout the process, I am always side-by-side with my players, supporting them every step of the way. Although a shorter adventure like this has less opportunity for such, I carry this experience with me.
