About the adventure
You know there's always That One Friend in the friend group that likes vampires way too much. In your case, that friend's name is Zara (she/her). She's read, listened to and watched every piece of media where a smoldering, big broody vampire sinks their teeth into the protagonist's body parts. She's so into the genre that it's almost expected when, on one of your weekly game nights, she asks if you guys can start a Curse of Strahd campaign, with her as DM. And that's when things take a turn. Your and your friends are sucked into a distorted version of Barovia, closer to a goofy romance anime than to the gritty, unforgiving Ravenloft setting. Everyone is a cliche, everything is a trope, and Zara (now Zareena) is pursuing the BBEG himself, Strahd von Zarovich! Save Zareena from the perils of a terrible, toxic relationship... or maybe just enable her vampire fantasy! The choice is yours.

About me
Hi all! My name is Rita, an Italian GM in Ireland! I have been playing TTRPGs for 10 years, and started professionally GMing 2 years ago. I have various live groups here in Ireland, plus online groups using Roll20 Discord. I have joined, as a player, the D8Dungeon Drive: Get Hexed in 2025, playing Candela Obscura. I GM for Patreon creators, conventions such as AthVentureCon, Gaelcon and smaller events, plus I GM for friends and paying players every Saturday in person and online! I love the unique creative wave that comes with GMing! Collaborating with players to create the best story, the greatest experience possible for them, brings me an immense sense of joy and accomplishment. I focus mostly on RP, follow the Rule of Cool, and I am not super strict when it comes to consequences (I will never get rid of your character without a prior conversation). I will always talk with you about boundaries, make sure that we agree on the story YOU want to tell, and we will create something together that you will enjoy! Session zero is mandatory, plus a form to complete pointing out triggers (Lines and Veils) My games are all LGBTQ+ friendly, and I have a zero tolerance policy for bullying, abuse and disrespect, both towards the players and the GM. My mother tongue is Italian, so if I ever mix up pronouns, please tell me! It's not malice, just my language playing tricks on me! If you'd like to start your adventure with me, let me know! -Rita

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a look at the system and available character options here: https://poweredbylesbians.com/ You don't need to know about Curse of Strahd or even D&D to play! This is a collaborative, role play heavy game, so don't worry if you don't have experience with the system, I will guide you through it. Once you join the game, I will message you and send you a Lines and Veils form that you'll have to complete before session zero. Also, once we have enough players , I will open a Discord group so we can have a session zero and discuss our characters/expectations/triggers.

How La Narratrice creates a safe table
Session zero is mandatory, plus a form to complete pointing out triggers (Lines and Veils). If you want to romance an NPC, PLEASE DISCUSS IT WITH ME FIRST. Nothing happens without prior consent. THIS APPLIES ALSO TO PVP TOO My games are all LGBTQ+ friendly, and I have a zero tolerance policy for bullying, abuse and disrespect, both towards the players and the GM. There is no institutional racism, homophobia, transphobia or sexism in my campaigns. Some NPCs in the setting may however hold harmful views, and we may explore that if the table wishes it and consents to it. However, I would ask that your PCs do not exhibit these views. If you want to stop the session, even to just take a minute, let me know immediately and feel free to stop the game actively, there's no shame in it and I'm always on your side. You are not bothering anyone! And if you need something changed at any point, feel free to message me!
