About the adventure
"SHE IS THE ANCIENT. SHE IS THE LAND." ๐ Feeling a bit dead inside? ๐๏ธ Take a vacation to Barovia! โ๏ธ Horror ๐ฆ Frights ๐งโโ๏ธ Hot Vampire Ladies You've been drawn in through the mist and found yourself in a valley dominated by a 400 year old vampire. Talk about a case of the Mondays! Get your anxiety meds handy because you're gonna need 'em. My ad listing is light, but my domain is deeply dark and twisted. I am a writer on the She Is The Ancient 2e supplement and have over 300 pro games in Barovia. Join my table for a highly immersive, experienced and modern take on this classic setting. I'll be integrating the Domains of Dread & Ravenloft: The Horrors Within supplements in addition to plenty of custom work. ๐ Pulse pounding suspense ๐๏ธ Top shelf voice acting ๐บ๏ธ Animated maps โฐ๏ธ Breathtaking scenery ๐ป Incredible soundtrack ๐ต Suspenseful ambience What my players say about my Strahd games: ๐ฃ๏ธ "[...] everything is exactly what you would want out of a horror game with fantasy! The struggle to survive, the plenty characters that are broken down with fear and have layers of personality to them. She is able to create a narrative where a fine line is made between being heroic and doing what you have to do to see the next day." -brydbry ๐ฃ๏ธ "Friday runs fantastic games that feature tense combat and brilliant world building, as well as incredibly well acted NPCs." -Raven ๐ฃ๏ธ "Friday always comes to the table with enthusiasm. Combat is highly engaging and a roller coaster ride of excitement! Always on the edge of my seat up until the very end." -Chris ๐ฃ๏ธ "[Friday's Countess is] #BossBitch unironically. Extremely enigmatic, difficult to read, polite yet cold, cunning. Definitely lawful evil" -Dusk ๐ฃ๏ธ "[Friday's Countess is] highly intelligent with a great force of personality. Cold, calculating with a dark cruelty beneath a veneer of aristocratic charm." -Russell Curse of Strahd is a fantastic campaign where you and other unlucky visitors to the Demi-Plane of Barovia attempt to survive the horrors of the Countess. A few things about me: I'm friendly to beginners, I voice act and bring all the assets you need to have an immersive experience. Before the campaign I'll have everyone fill out surveys on their preferences for lines, veils, and consent. Let's have fun being spooky together.

About me
๐ 5'11" 38 she/they ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ ๐ฉธ 6'2" 400 Ancient/Land in DnD ๐งโโ๏ธ You can expect: ๐ HOT GOSSIP at pre-game chat. ๐ฐRECREATIONAL ANXIETY during horror sessions. ๐HEART PALPS when NPCs flirt. ๐ช๐ปDRAMATIC combat encounters. ๐EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE VILLAINS everywhere. Hey y'all! I work from home as a game designer, novelist, and professional yapper. Just as I build my professional teams to be diverse and inclusive, I expect those vibes in my community so that I foster the best possible experience in roleplaying. My players go from complete strangers to good internet buddies over the months they spend together and if that's what you're looking for - then one of my tables is for you. Many of my campaigns range in length from 1-2 years, ideally. Often when completing a campaign my tables choose another game or campaign to continue gaming together. I do not use ChatGPT, MidJourney, or other automation (theft) platforms.
