About the adventure
The mists of Barovia do not whisper. They beckon. Soft and slow, curling around your skin like silk… until it tightens. Until it binds. You are not just stepping into a cursed land — you're entering her story. A world ruled by a woman of impossible beauty and unbearable grief. The Countess watches from her throne of thorns, and she already knows your name. She sees your desires. Your weaknesses. She will pull at them with sweet words, and twist them with cold hands. In this reimagining of Curse of Strahd, you’ll navigate a land steeped in tragedy and temptation. You will uncover cursed romances, haunted places, and broken souls that beg for saving — or surrender. Each NPC carries secrets. Each ally may become a pawn. And the Countess? She is not merely a villain… she is the storm at the center of every choice you make. You will face: 🌹Moral dilemmas that blur love, loyalty, and power 💔A ruler who courts as she corrupts, charming the party even as she destroys it 🕯️Barovia reimagined through a dark feminine lens — one where beauty, sorrow, and horror are intertwined 🪞Your own reflection, twisted in the mirror of her gaze This is not just survival. This is seduction. This is descent. Will you resist her… or become hers?
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Step into the mists, where darkness rules and prophecy lies shattered. In this reimagining of Curse of Strahd, the roles are reversed—and the tyrant wears a different face. Beautiful. Terrifying. Irresistible. Discover what it means to join the Countess' game of cat and mouse in this remix of the beloved module. Are you brave enough to face her… or bold enough to fall? ✨ What to Look Forward To: 🌹 A gothic sandbox where romance and horror entwine 🦇 The Countess Strahd—a darkly alluring villain who wants more than your blood 🏳️🌈 Explicitly queer themes, relationships, and identities woven throughout the narrative 🪞 Character-driven roleplay with emotional stakes, moral ambiguity, and personal discovery 💔 Cursed NPCs, tragic histories, and dangerous intimacy that cuts deeper than any blade 🎭 A reimagined Barovia—decadent, doomed, and dripping with desire 🕯️ The mists are calling. Will you answer… or surrender?

How to prepare
You will need to have/bring: 🎤 A Microphone and Discord Downloaded 🎲 A DNDBeyond and a Roll20 account (They're both free) 🗡️ Beyond20 Browser extension for Firefox or Chrome (Not necessary but allows you to roll from DNDBeyond!) 🙋 Your character, if you've decided to make it in advance (pre-gens are available on request!) 📸 A Webcam (If you would like to use video, but this isn't required) 😊 A Positive Attitude and a Smile!
What I provide
Roll20 maps: Colorful maps with Dynamic Lighting to really set the scene. Tokens: NPC's and Players get unique tokens to represent themselves. Music: Ambient music and combat tracks to help set the mood and try and get you in your character's head! Content on D&D Beyond: Freedom to choose the subclass and features you want with content sharing from my Library containing hundreds of $$$ of D&D content! Access to an exclusive discord community of like-minded TTRPG-loving people with an unmatched love for this form of Storytelling! Unique Storylines: Every table and game is completely unique and YOURS! No game of mine ever runs the same way twice. Positive, Safe & Inclusive Atmosphere: I love sharing my passion for this game and making sure everyone at the table feels included and seen. I am a Rules meets Cool DM. I am almost always happy to allow a good idea at the table, and will reward quick thinking and roleplay decisions. We will default to Rules as Written in cases of disagreement, but I am more concerned about the narrative aspect of your story and will push to give you those whenever possible!
Gameplay details
When it comes to player safety and comfort nothing is more important, pre-session every player will fill out an RPG Consent Checklist which will allow me to avoid triggers before the game even begins. Then every session zero includes letting players know any content warnings that may be present in the adventure and informing them about my open door, break and debrief policies. Players are also welcome at any time to either take breather or a break from the game, and at no point will they ever be asked to go into detail about ANYTHING they may not be comfortable with. Also, while the game is going on, if at any point a player needs content to stop immediately, they may hold up an X/N or type one in chat or private DM. This will allow me to make the necessary moves needed to make sure everyone continues to have a great time playing! Lastly, I am a huge believer in debriefing/aftercare. At the end of each session I will always hang around for anywhere between 15-30 minutes to chat about the session and to just generally hang out with anyone who wants to stick around! This is great for sessions where we may get into some heavier content so we can either discuss it or unpack it if need be! Remember, your comfort and your fun come first!
