Darkness and Dragons is a D&D actual play livestream for mature audiences, with an emotionally deep narrative and character-driven plot. Our story features:

Ryan/Verity, a rogue and the former Princess of Lunaris. She escaped her role in the Caraquette court as consort to Crown Prince Atlas and since, has fallen in love and defected with his younger brother, Arsen. Motivated by a need to repent, Ryan is played by Laura (she/her) @darkmoondice

Elly Pilwicken, the barbarian turned Commander and party leader who believes in freedom above all. Having seen her people murdered by the Caraquette crown, she is devoted to vengeance. Elly is played by Sarah (she/her) @theoddscollector

Ariana (formerly Penny Lillyanne Van-Ness Planchette), after capturing the soul of a dying Elven girl, Penny fused with Anisha to become Ariana. Skilled in both necromancy and nature magic, she is still very much an unknown factor to her allies. Ariana is played by Michael (he/him) @notesreviews

Our game is GMed by Melissa (she/her) @feministgamer
