About the adventure

"SHE IS THE ANCIENT. SHE IS THE LAND." 💀 Feeling a bit dead inside? 🏖️ Take a vacation to Barovia! ✔️ Horror 🦇 Frights 🧛‍♀️ Hot Vampire Ladies You've been drawn in through the mist and found yourself in a valley dominated by a 400 year old vampire. Talk about a case of the Mondays! Get your anxiety meds handy because you're gonna need 'em. My ad listing is light, but my domain is deeply dark and twisted. I am a writer on the She Is The Ancient 2e supplement and have over 300 pro games in Barovia. Join my table for a highly immersive, modern and experienced take on this classic setting. 💖 Pulse pounding suspense 🎙️ Top shelf voice acting 🗺️ Animated maps ⛰️ Breathtaking scenery 🎻 Incredible soundtrack 🎵 Suspenseful ambience What my players say about my Strahd games: 🗣️ "[...] everything is exactly what you would want out of a horror game with fantasy! The struggle to survive, the plenty characters that are broken down with fear and have layers of personality to them. She is able to create a narrative where a fine line is made between being heroic and doing what you have to do to see the next day." -brydbry 🗣️ "Friday runs fantastic games that feature tense combat and brilliant world building, as well as incredibly well acted NPCs." -Raven 🗣️ "Friday always comes to the table with enthusiasm. Combat is highly engaging and a roller coaster ride of excitement! Always on the edge of my seat up until the very end." -Chris 🗣️ "[Friday's Countess is] #BossBitch unironically. Extremely enigmatic, difficult to read, polite yet cold, cunning. Definitely lawful evil" -Dusk 🗣️ "[Friday's Countess is] highly intelligent with a great force of personality. Cold, calculating with a dark cruelty beneath a veneer of aristocratic charm." -Russell Curse of Strahd is a fantastic campaign where you and other unlucky visitors to the Demi-Plane of Barovia attempt to survive the horrors of the Countess. A few things about me: I'm friendly to beginners, I voice act and bring all the assets you need to have an immersive experience. Before the campaign I'll have everyone fill out surveys on their preferences for lines, veils, and consent. Let's have fun being spooky together.
