About me

Hello adventurer, I'm Rafo I’m a long time FRP enthusiast, and a dedicated Game Master. I have run multiple campaigns both at the table and through Play by Post, and I’m passionate about crafting character driven stories. I also publish adventures for Shadowdark RPG under the name Dark Dice Adventures. Outside the TTRPG world, I work in coding and software development, and I play guitar. If you’re looking for a GM who is invested, approachable, and genuinely excited to build a great story together, I’m right here :) Let’s roll some dice and tell great stories!

Character creation

Creating your character

I am open to nearly any ideas for character creation. Character Creation Guidelines Ability Scores: Two sets of rolls or point buy. Starting Money: 5d4 x 10 gp. Starting Level: Begin the campaign at Level 3. Your character should have prior adventuring experience, reflected in their backstory. Game start: Four ways to begin the adventure, depending on your selection: - You receive a letter from a noble from a land called Barovia, seeking your aid. - You are tasked by a local lord to hunt down a werewolf. - You were traveling and got lost due to bad weather. - You are searching for a missing family member. Starting Feat and Magic Item/Trinket: I will assign a custom feat and item or trinket based on your character's backstory. Custom Backgrounds: Allowed. Optional Class Features: Allowed. Custom Origin: Allowed. Race: All official races are allowed, but note that most inhabitants of Barovia are humans. Other races may be seen as unusual by the locals.
