About the adventure
You’ve walked the fog of Barovia. Now step beyond it — into the heart of the Mists, where the nightmare deepens and the dark powers whisper of liches, fae, and fallen gods. Ravenloft: Domains of Dread is an epic gothic saga uniting six of TSR’s most acclaimed horror adventures into one continuous descent through flesh, soul, and immortality. Your story begins with Neither Man nor Beast, where you awaken shipwrecked on a cursed island ruled by a beast-lord’s grotesque experiments. As you flee through the Mists, you are drawn into The Shadow Rift, a fae realm of moonless skies and unholy beauty where memory and temptation intertwine. But the Mists do not release their prey. Your journey culminates in The Grim Harvest Trilogy (Death Unchained, Death Ascendant, and Requiem), where the lich-king Azalin Rex seeks to transcend undeath and seize the essence of godhood itself. You stand between life and oblivion — between divine salvation and eternal blasphemy. Expect roleplay-heavy sessions, moral tension, and investigations steeped in dread. This is not another retelling of Curse of Strahd — it’s the rest of the story. The parts of Ravenloft most players never see. “In the Land of the Mists, even hope has a heartbeat — and it is afraid.”

About me
Hello everyone! Greetings from Greece! I've been delving into the world of roleplaying games for over 15 years now, with around 10 years of experience as a Game Master. While my heart remains true to the timeless allure of DnD 3.5 edition, I've also developed a fondness for running Cthulhu, Savage Worlds, and I'm always eager to explore new systems. My passion lies in fostering immersive roleplay, orchestrating epic battles, and crafting captivating adventures that leave players on the edge of their seats. As a business owner, I cherish the flexibility of my schedule, allowing me to delve into professional gameplay experiences for the sheer joy of it, while seeking players who are equally devoted to character development and the intricate tales that unfold. Beyond the gaming realm, I find solace in horseback riding, and I've also found myself drawn to the world of arts, wearing the hats of both a singer and an occasional actor. Initially, my journey into acting was motivated by a desire to enhance my skills as a Dungeon Master. However, my profound love for the arts, including playing the piano and professional singing, has led me to embrace the world of theater, where I've actively participated in numerous productions. Looking forward to connecting with fellow enthusiasts and weaving unforgettable stories together!

How Antigoni creates a safe table
This game uses Lines & Veils and a dedicated Session Zero to establish comfort boundaries. Themes include classic gothic horror — death, corruption, loss, and temptation — but always in a respectful, player-consensual framework.
