About the adventure
Once upon a time, there lived a lord that was so wealthy that not even a King could compare. The only strange thing about this lord was that his beard was a shocking, vibrant blue - so much so that he was only ever referred to as Bluebeard. Despite his unusual countenance, he had been married several times but no one knew what truly became of them. They simply vanished and, after some time passed, he'd marry anew. One day, Bluebeard went hunting near his estate and, on his way back, stopped at a farmstead to slake his thirst - he was served by a beautiful farmer's daughter. He was instantly smitten with her and decided then and there he would take her as his wife. Up to that point, your stories were the same, yours and this farmer's daughter's. You will play as Faces of the Bride, sharing the same body as you explore your new home, trying to decide if you're loyal or disloyal to your new husband - whether you trust him or not. You all want what's best for the Bride and, together, you may be able to keep her a certain degree of safe. There is no true happy ending for the Bride. This is a game of feminine horror and, while some things can be veiled, we will be covering subject matter that may be uncomfortable to some. Please proceed with caution. Note: Except for under extenuating circumstances, leaving the game less than 3 hours before game time will not be refunded.

About me
Hi, I'm Sonder, I use she/her pronouns, and I've been playing and GM-ing TTRPGs for about 5 years, and designing them for about 2. I love collaborative storytelling and greatly enjoy tailoring narratives for characters. I've run a variety of TTRPGs spanning various systems and genres such as Monster of the Week, Masks, The Between, Absurdia, and a variety of other PbtAs. I'm also familiar with similar systems such as FitD, Belonging Outside Belonging, Rooted in Trophy, and the Resistance system. I would be more than happy to tailor any of these games to suit your table's needs! I'm also open to running any other rules-light TTRPGs of a similar nature, so feel free to reach out to me anytime!

Creating your character
Upon signing up for the game, you will be added to a Discord server created specifically for this game. There you will find a channel with the player resources and the google sheet we'll be using. While you are welcome to look through the options, character creation will be done during the session itself. Feel free to ping me at any time if you have any questions!
