About me
Hello adventurers and heroes, nice to meet you! I'm Babis, a game master from Greece, and I'm working for the last 15 years in the gaming industry as a board game designer/developer and an RPG game master and writer. I'm passionate with storytelling, and epic moments of tragedy and drama, but I do so love some hardcore moments of tireless dungeon-delving in some forgotten ruins. My favorite games are Dungeons & Dragons, Savage Worlds: Deadlands, and of course Vampire: the Masquerade - a personal favorite of mine. I've been playing RPGs for 30 years, and I've been storytelling for the last 20 of them. So let's play together! Let's tell some stories! And live on the moments you want to experience, tailored to your preferences and needs!

Babis is an attentive Storyteller. He has a way of making you feel "safe" while your character is in an unlife and death situation. IMO our Saturday game has a sandbox feel with "story" points of interest that we can interact with. And the best thing about playing in Babis's game, the way he incorporates your character ideas into the story! Me, "I have a cool idea about this part of my character." Babis, "Cool, that can tie in with this other thing."
Why play a typical v5 game where your PC's touchstones, allies, enemies and convictions are irrelevant to the metaplot? In a Babis-run game they are a core part of the shared story. When Babis asks: "Would you like to succeed at a cost?" your heart will race b/c you are about to lean into the the motivations/risks that made you want to play your PC. Every game gave me a Hollywood cinematic moment that was worth the ticket price (and fun dice rolls.) Sign up for a game and watch your PC come to life, react to complications and fully evolve in ways you did not imagine.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
All players need a discord accounts for the game and, since we'll be playing online, a good enough mic is essential. It's also important to read the basic rules Vampire 5th edition, before the game so that things flow better, and beginner players can feel free to message me with any questions they may have.
What Babis brings to the table

How Babis creates a safe table
You're about to experience living in the grim setting of the World of Darkness -where the lines of morality blur, and human suffering runs amok. It's a Dostoyevski-an setting that exults the desperation of living in a gloomy, dark city. That being said, I will never bring you forth into a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable. As such, I implement session 0 as well as the "lines and veils" system, that alongside an extensive talk and discussion, will give each other a concrete idea of what you want to avoid in the game. One thing that you won't find in the game is "player betrayal" and active PVP. Surely characters can keep secrets between them, but never to sabotage or outright ruin another player's roleplaying gameplay experience.
