tabletop rpg game designer
Hi there, I'm Claudio!
Over the last six years, I’ve and nurtured my calling as a tabletop RPG designer. I love blending thoughtful game design, strong art direction, and clean layout design to create games that are easy to learn, engaging to play, and focused on what makes them unique.
I also bring 15+ years of UX experience – shaped in my day-to-day work at Sketchin – into my process, to refine information clarity during reading and onboarding and in-game flow, by optimizing how cognitive load is distributed befire and during play.

VILEBORN
A coming-of-age nobledark TTRPG
My understanding of coming-of-age fantasy novels, distilled into a narrative-driven, shamelessly edgy, dark-fantasy roleplaying game.

PRISM
A focused, ruthless dystopian TTRPG
Build a dystopia from scratch in a few minutes, then play as Anomalyes: those who don't fit. Characters are defined by keywords written on writable tokens; when facing a test, put those tokens into a bag, draw what comes out, and let those prompts drive as the story unfolds.

NOT THE END
A TTRPG about the hero's journey
Create your Hero by writing traits on an hive of hexagons, then use them in every test. No dice: draw up to four tokens from a bag – each positive token is a success, each negative token a complication – so outcomes usually mix both, steering the story and your Hero’s growth in unexpected directions.
