About Ubaldo
ššæ 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: š 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! šŖ© 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! š 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! š 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! ššæ 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. ššæ 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! āØ https://discord.gg/KBWjycknqJ

I started running games because...
One of the best GMs I'd ever played with had to end our home game and afterwards I got inspired to try it on my own and see if I could cook up something fun! āØ It must have been pretty fun for the players, because I'm still at it š¤£
My favorite shows/movies are
For movies, I like a lot of Psychological Thrillers, but I love anything that goes deep on how people work on the inside, so I love shows like Better Call Saul, LA and NY By night, Mad Men, and Bocchi the Rock.
How Ubaldo runs games
āļø Plot-Driven and Sandbox Gameplay In every campaign I run, I always make space in the plot and in during sessions for the players' on projects or side-adventures! If they want to go somewhere specific that has nothing to do with the main plot, we'll plan when that session will take place, and off we go! At my table, you and the party will always have space to introduce your characters' own projects or side-adventures, and take charge of a big part of the story! We'll also always have interesting Settings and their own Main Plots to explore, but we'll mix and match as you guys want!

I deal with rules issues by...
Finding a mechanically interesting way to represent what the player intended, and my interpretation of how the setting and system would handle that intention. That's a fancy way of saying 'figuring it out' š.
I prep by
I start by reminding myself of what my players have asked me to include. Then, my process involves Looking at walls, cats or ceilings for 3 to 6 hours, doing a whole lotta thinking, and then writing a bunch of notes. š
Ubaldo's ideal table
āØ I love people passionate about walking in characters shoes and seeing where their life takes them! In my Dream game, the setting is believable and alive, and the characters can immerse themselves fully, live and steer their lives the way they want to go.

I love it when a player
Feels very engaged with their character and roleplays their heart out! I also love when players' plans can really alter the course of a fight or conversation, and set our story arc in very different directions.
