About the adventure
High fantasy political intrigue, focusing of course on the court drama and romances. A dark fairytale themed world. There are tensions between the kingdoms; some princes and princesses have disappeared, unicorns have all but vanished from the world, magic is becoming a rarity, and overall things are looking dire. To try and mend tensions and figure out a plan, the kingdoms have rallied together in a (very tense) council, while also bringing along their heirs to negotiate marriages between kingdoms. Even the terrible and miserable sorcerer King Haggard von Rothbart was invited to the summit, but never expected to arrive. There are rumors that he has a handsome heir, but few visit his forlorn kingdom, and he rarely leaves. The summit is interrupted when one of the missing princesses suddenly appears... albeit different, memory gone, and her personality... just not right. Are you one of the princes or princesses, here to marry yourself off to ease tensions between kingdoms? Are you a knight, watching over your beloved ward, forced to see them arranged to be married? Are you from another antagonistic or cursed kingdom, with ulterior motives? ...these political tensions WILL turn to romantic tension, and your kingdoms' future will hang in the balance. *any genders and sexualities welcome; the target audience is lesbians, but you do not have to be or play a lesbian to join

About me
I'm a 31yo nonbinary artist whose passion lies in storytelling! The most important things to me in ttrpgs are fun, roleplay, and story (including player characters' backstories, not just plot). I've been DMing for about 10 years and playing D&D for about 15. I love homebrew and having the players add onto the setting with locations, plot hooks, NPCs, deities, whatever they (reasonably) want to add! New players always welcome! Being LGBTQ+ myself, obviously this table loves and welcomes LGBTQ+ players! I specialize in Fantasy and Horror! Do not expect a rules lawyer here; the rules are here for me to use as a base, something to fall back on, but ultimately we're here to have fun and do cool things. Rules can and will be waived or bent in my games - but only in the favor of the players, never to try and put you at a disadvantage. I'm here to challenge the player characters and be their guide through the world they explore. Sure, the dice gods may demand a death every once in a blue moon, but I'm 100% the party's biggest fan. This is also a space for us to escape reality; my games DO NOT include racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. either in game or at the table. It will not be tolerated. Yes, that applies to things such as "monstrous" races and their societies. There is no "inherently evil" at my table. The most realistic evil you'll see at my table are capitalists, monarchies, and player characters' horrible families from their tragic backstories. Was a professional player in Hp2Xp and isFriday livestreamed games 'Adventures in Umbranthal' and 'Crypt of the Ruby Dragon,' as well as a recurring player in shows on GirlsRunTheseWorlds! Currently running a magical girl inspired FATE game, 'Auriga Stars,' there! (also: conversational in American Sign Language, sign isn't listed as a language here)

How Altamirage creates a safe table
Hard rules for all my games: NO racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, bigotry, etc. That includes fantasy versions (ie: "all orcs are born evil and therefore do x"). NO SA, noncon, torture, slavery. (Said things can be allowed, with approval, in PC backstories, and do exist in NPC backstories, but will not be directly mentioned or described) And... we're here to have fun!! <3 Will send a form pregame for lines/veils/etc. Will message to go over what kind of game everyone wants to play ("i hate puzzles" "i love combat" etc), touching base on things we don't want in the game, talking character dynamics, working on character sheets, explaining gameplay if new to the system. After games, I usually chat (in call or in discord) with everyone and joke around - I always try to balance out the harsh with humor, and I check in with everyone after a rough session. X cards will be whatever you are most comfortable with. <3
