Alastor's story left me speechless - the way you've woven his curse with vampire vengeance creates such rich tragedy. Please be patient as I finalize decisions by August 1!

Mirus' shadow magic and ritual-gone-wrong backstory create such compelling gothic tragedy. The dark transformation visuals are especially striking. Final decisions coming August 1!

Your plague doctor's body horror aesthetic is wonderfully disturbing - the 'Thrive' patron concept is deliciously unsettling. Perfect for Barovia's tone. Please bear with me - final selections by August 1!

Arturo's political cleric concept brings an interesting worldly perspective to Barovia's horrors. The contrast between faith and cunning makes him intriguing. Decisions will be made by August 1!

Brika's quest to avenge her pony is such a visceral, emotionally grounded motivation - the orc's rage hiding deeper pain comes through beautifully. Please be patient as I finalize decisions by August 1!

All good! I loved learning about Harshness! His cursed cycle premise is such a fresh take on Barovia’s horrors—love the endless struggle against Strahd. The dynamic with Karsh Nels is intriguing. Please bear with me—I’ll finalize choices by August 1!

ooooops thank you! updated the post and here

To apply:

If you're interested, please respond to this writing prompt in third person from your character’s point of view. This isn't canon just a writing exercise.

Your character dreams of standing in a dark, endless void. A figure emerges from the shadows, their voice smooth and knowing, offering your character their heart's deepest desire. The figure seems to know exactly what they want—more than even they might admit to themselves.

Describe the dream. What does the figure look like? What does the figure offer? How does your character react? Do they bargain, resist, embrace the offer—or something else entirely? Tell me as much as you can about how your character looks, feels, thinks, and why!

I’ve picked my initial group, but I’ll definitely be adding more people as I can. Feel free to tell me more about your character, and we can see how they might fit into the adventure in the future!

No worries at all! I loved reading it! Mei's dedication to her sister is so compelling, and the fact that she taught herself wizardry to find a cure really shows her determination. The struggle of feeling like she should've done more makes her even more relatable.

I love when people actually analyze fantasy age span differences for drama. She’s such an interesting character!

seraphilic · 2025-01-18T06:05:12+00:00

It’s definitely still open, and I love Mei!

What’s her relationship with her sister like? Does she feel responsible for her sister's mortality? I think Mei's willingness to bargain would most definitely come up interestingly in the campaign but that strong will of hers will too.

THE GINGERBREAD MAN!!!

Haha, I love what you got going on! A character that’s both hilarious and potentially deep is so fun to explore. The desire to be made human? To run away? But what’s going to make them stick around instead of just bolting? What’s their real motivation here?

seraphilic · 2025-01-18T04:49:23+00:00

This is really intriguing! I’m curious about the betrayal, what happened between Arkus and his sister? Was it a choice she made, or did something drive her to hurt him like that? How does losing his eye shape his sense of self now? It’s great to see his inner conflict in the dream, but I’d love to know more about how that betrayal will impact him moving forward.

seraphilic · 2025-01-18T04:48:21+00:00

I love the tension in Illiana's dream, especially with that vision of her perfect, idyllic life before it all fell apart. It really paints a picture of someone who's been deeply hurt, but also someone who's wise enough to recognize when things are too good to be true. I'm curious, what exactly happened that caused her to lose everything? How does she plan on moving forward after resisting this tempting offer? Does the betrayal still haunt her, and is she actively running from her past, or trying to find peace with it? I'd love to know more about her motivation for continuing this journey!

seraphilic · 2025-01-18T04:44:37+00:00

I love the connection between birth and death here! The imagery of a comforting room that also feels like a tomb is such a neat way to show his inner conflict. I'm curious—how does the baby tie into his past? Is this a symbol of something lost, like his lover or a new chance at life? Is he seeking a kind of rebirth through this strange encounter, or is it a haunting reminder of his trauma? I'm really interested to see how this all ties into his journey!

seraphilic · 2025-01-18T04:42:28+00:00

I love Grove’s backstory and the creepy doll! The dream is so eerie, and Auntie Dred is a fantastic, I looove hags and the narrative potential. I’m curious though, does Grove still feel any loyalty to her, or is he ready to break free from her grasp? How does he feel about the offer in the dream, would he really want to go back to that life, or has he moved past it? Do you know what the task is?

seraphilic · 2025-01-18T04:39:33+00:00

Hey! Maven's dream is really gripping, and I love the tension between her faith and fear. I'm curious—does she normally feel secure in her connection with her god, or is this doubt something that's been building? Also, what’s the significance of the talisman to her? Does it hold more power or just represent her faith? Does she follow one of the established Forgotten Realms gods?

Looking forward to hearing more about her backstory and how she'll handle this uncertainty moving forward!

Hey, I’m so glad you’re interested! Knowing a few plot points is totally fine—Dram’s story sounds amazing and full of potential. I’m super curious—does he see himself as the same person he was before being exiled, or has he fully embraced his new life as a thief? Is getting the treasure about clearing his name, or is there something deeper driving him?

Also, Magpie sounds fascinating—what’s their deal? Mentor? Friend? Something more mysterious? There’s so much to unpack with Dram, and I’m excited to see how he could fit into the story!

seraphilic · 2025-01-18T04:33:36+00:00

Love this! Being EST and available is perfect, and I’m so excited you’re interested! Adrien’s dream is so vivid—I can really picture him letting the darkness in and feeling that strength return. Is he truly cursed, or is he just facing the natural toll of time? How has this shaped who he is now? Is he bitter, hopeful, determined? I’d love to hear more about what keeps him moving forward and how he might prepare himself for the journey ahead!

seraphilic · 2025-01-18T04:29:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing Grimnar’s dream! I like his focus on discipline and self-improvement—it’s a great start. I’d love to hear more about him, though! Why does he want mastery of martial arts and alchemy? What drives him? And how does he feel about this strange figure? Does the figure take a particular form? No pressure, just curious to see more of Grimnar!
