About the adventure

Create your character and battle the darkness of Ravenloft! Play by post (PbP) done right! ๐Ÿง›โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฆ‡๐Ÿณโ€๐ŸŒˆ We will adapt the material from Horrors Within--as well as content from older editions--to create a bespoke, unique adventure for your character. We can include Curse of Strahd (and Barovia)--or any of the other modules in Ravenloft's history--into our campaign. Want to play through Azalin's Grand Conjunction? We can also create new domains of dread; and explore unconventional settings that interest you. This is a one-on-one play by post game. ๐Ÿฅ€ I'm an experienced PbP DM that offers: - at least one CHUNKY post/day - every response is interesting and develops the story ๐Ÿฅ€ I love DMing a wide variety of genres: - cozy, slice-of-life - romance - action-adventure - supernatural / horror - social / intrigue / political / espionage - exploration ๐Ÿ–ค All scenes fade to black if... - they get too adult - player or GM asks for it ๐Ÿฅ€ 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! ๐Ÿ’• 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 ๐Ÿฅ€ Game System - We can use whatever game system you prefer - We'll be playing a narrative-heavy; rules-light version of that system ๐Ÿฅ€ Choose from: - DND 5E - DND 4E - DND 3/3.5E - AD&D 2E - D&D 1E - OSE (Old School Essentials) - Pathfinder 1E/2E - PbtA fantasy games - Chasing Adventure is my favorite option! - Suggest your own system! ๐Ÿ–ค If you have any questions, DM me
