About the adventure
😸 Complete and total Beginners welcome, Btw!! I've taught the game to a lot of people before, and I can help you make an easy transition! 🌇 Denver, Colorado, is going to hell in a handbasket since the Camarilla showed up. They were invited in, but who even knows the difference at this point. Every night the sects quabble and gripe with each other, and the competition's never been worse. It's so messy that it's anybody's game at this point; including enterprising young kindred looking to make it big in town... All the different areas of town have their own paymasters and parasites, and a sharp mind find a lot of success playing the 'ol game of influence. 🩸 There's also this rumor about an Abandoned Quarter: humans are still there, but no Kindred, apparently. And it's been said the Elders are covering something up there... Aparently it's the Ralston Valley neighborhood that's deserted. Kindred seem to go there but not come back? Probably just eaten by the Lupines in the hills nearby. 🌟 Perks • Player creativity: I'll always include your backstory into the plot, and in every Story Arc I can also include NPCs you ask for, be it enemies, potential allies, or just foils for character development! • Combat: We can have large, sprawling fights, or highly tactical smaller skirmishes, thanks to a Homebrew combat system that my players have helped me craft and play-test for 6 months now! • Custom Start: Our first 2 sessions will be a bespoke introduction to the setting based on what challenges and types of encounters the coterie wants to see! 👋🏿 That's it for me and I hope to see you in my Dm's! Have a good day!

About me
👋🏿 Hi ! How's it going? My name's Ubaldo and I mostly run Vampire the Masquerade (5th ed.) and Blades in the Dark. If you'd like to know more about me, here's what I can tell you: 🚂 Rule of Cool I'm big on always finding a way to let players do what they want with their characters; so long as it makes sense. Mechanical limitations always get in the way, but that's what we have dice for! I don't consider myself a Rule of Cool -style GM, but by the D&D nomenclature I guess I am! In my table, you'll always find a way to translate your intent with your character into goals you can pursue in the world, roleplay interactions you can have, or tactics and maneuvers in combat! 🪩 Players' Creativity Outside of game hours, I always make it a habit to be available to chat about any extra writing, ideas or content that my players find interesting and want to put in the game; be it for their own character's story arc or for the adventures the setting will have. You'll always find me replying frequently to whatever ideas you have, and content you want to come up with! At my table, you'll have: a fun space to talk with me at any hours about your ideas for your character, how to progress their character-arc; and a GM who loves to use his players' ideas for the plot and NPCs, but also brings plenty of his own ideas and surprises! 🎉 Good Vibes I've been a pro DM for a year now, operating mostly outside the SPG platform, and in that time I gotta say: the most important thing, by far, has been connecting with people who have good chemistry with me, and who have healthy, fun social habits! At my table, you'll always find a welcoming space, and people willing to adjust our shared social and gameplay dynamics to make sure we all have fun and keep having fun for a long time! 🐭 Me, personally Besides all this, I'm a pretty tranquil guy and I love RPGs! It's been an interesting journey to get started with Pro GM'ing this year, and I look forward to continuing it and bringing you along for the ride! 👍🏿 If you have any other questions for me or just want to get in contact and see what I'm like, hit the link below and that'll bring you to my Interview Discord and you can get in touch with me through there. 👉🏿 I also reply to all my messages here on this platform, but the server in question has only me present and if you'd like to speak in person, that'll get you to me faster! Here's the link, and if you've read so far, hope you're having a good day/evening and blessings upon you! ✨ https://discord.gg/KBWjycknqJ

Creating your character
📊 Stats-wise, we'll use mostly standard character creation. The only difference is that we'll ignore the system's suggestions regarding Vampiric age and Power-level, and instead set ourselves to: 11th Generation & Blood Potency 1; 7 points of Advantages (Backgrounds & Merits) & 2 points of flaws; 55 points of XP. ⚙️ Logistically, we will get together 1 on 1, free of charge, and get your whole character set up from scratch! My time for character creation is very very flexible, so I'll fit wherever I can into your schedule. It should take 60 to 90 minutes. The only thing to do before sitting down with me is sketching who your character is, what they're about. I'll send you a handy note template that will help you flesh out your character.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a Discord account, as well as a free account on Roll20, and we'll pop you into both the groups for both👍.
What Ubaldo brings to the table
I always prioritize rule of cool, and give players a lot of freedom to plan things out and subvert my plans. My games have heavy roleplay, but when we do fight some enemies, we make it count! Check my GM profile for deeper details!
Homebrew rules
I use a alternative combat system in World of Darkness games, but it lands very very close to the original; mostly just altering initiative action economy, and how damage is tracked.
