About the adventure
Create your character and battle the darkness of Ravenloft. Explore the dark forests and haunted ruins of Barovia. Play by post (PbP) done right! 🧛♀️🦇🏳🌈 This is a one-on-one play by post game. 🥀 I'm an experienced PbP DM that offers: - at least one post/day - 3-5+ responses on most days - every response is interesting and develops the story 🥀 I love DMing a wide variety of genres: - cozy, slice-of-life - romance - action-adventure - supernatural / horror - social / intrigue / political / espionage - exploration 🖤 All scenes fade to black if... - they get too adult - player or GM asks for it 🥀 A few changes for PbP: - your character levels up and grows - but we'll take a rules-light approach to conflict - if it makes sense; your character can do it! 💕 My vibe/expectations: - let's be kind to one another - a heavy focus on your character (and you!) - rules light and narrative heavy - fun comes first and the rule of cool - lots of kindness and emotional intelligence - respectful of boundaries - great listener and collaborator - always want you to feel seen 🥀 Game System - We can use whatever game system you prefer - We'll be playing a narrative-heavy; rules-light version of that system 🥀 Choose from: - DND 5E - DND 4E - DND 3/3.5E - AD&D - D&D - Pathfinder 1E/2E - PbtA fantasy games - Chasing Adventure is my favorite option! - Suggest your own system! 🖤 If you have any questions, DM me

How Countess Vines creates a safe table
💯 Player safety and comfort is incredibly important to me. Anytime there is possible discomfort, I'll check in with you before we move forward. I'll use a variety of safety tools in our games; but most of all I'm emotionally intelligent, respectful of boundaries and a great listener.
