Starting with the best positives, Jabber was quick with helping me with character creation. I was brand new to VTM at the time and he helped me with every step and suggested fun character quirks. The first session is why this review isn’t 5 stars. I joined an ongoing campaign. So the first session I played in I spent 3/4 of the session just listening to other players talk in character about plot I wasn’t caught up on. It felt more like I paid to listen to a random live-play episode. Eventually my character was introduced in the latter half of the session after roughly two hours. This is something I communicated to Jabber after the session. In hindsight I wish I’d asked for a partial refund, but since this was my first game I wasn’t aware that was a thing that’s available. The continueing sessions however were quite fun! I would still recommend Jabber as a gamemaster, even if my first impression wasn’t the most ideal.

Mikael is a great game master! When I originally joined his VTM game I was a bit sceptical of him choosing a clan based on my character’s archetype rather than me picking itself. But he was really in depth with character creation and over time I came to really like this as my character was expertely woven into the setting and story! The characters players and NPCs really feel alive (or as alive as a vampire can appear haha). Despite having played a little VTM before, I still feel myself asking game mechanic and lore questions frequently, which he is helpful with. Good for new players!! Was also very chill with me playing a gay character, which I appreciate. He takes safety at the table seriously and paused the game to check up on me when something came up.
