About the adventure
Europe by Night is an excuse to travel through the rich history of Europe and visit a vast array of cities across a dozen countries, each different and unique, all while playing the best narrative TTRPG ever, Vampire: the Masquerade. 💜 After last year's season, the plot takes us now to Spain in the 1980s. Post-Franco raves and the counterculture of the 80s in Madrid and Barcelona clash against the remains of the most old-fashioned regime in Western Europe. 🔥 In this game, I propose a narrative with different, interconnected timelines, and many characters whose destiny might change from simple bystanders or Kindred fodder to Kindred and absolute rulers of night empires. All tied together with strong narrative elements such as flashbacks, parallel scenes, ellipsis, and whatever we can devise together.

About me
I'm Kels, a fantasy writer, board game creator, and your soon-to-be favorite GM (hopefully!). I started running games when I was 11 yo, and I’ve been doing it ever since, for 22 years now. I GM Dungeons & Dragons, World of Darkness, or my own game Heroes of Darkness (a mix of the two). With a background in social sciences and a passion for anthropology, history, and linguistics, I love creating nuanced settings and immersive stories. Let’s roll some dice and tell a great story together!

Creating your character
We will develop your characters during the first few sessions as we set the story running. Be prepared to improvise, to role-play secondary characters, until we narrow down on your main character. Later on, once your character is narratively defined, we will make the character sheet. In my experience, this sets a strong narrative mood and increases the intrigue and uncertainty that fit so well with the setting and genre of this game.
