Embrace the darkness.
Red Moon Roleplaying is a production company/publisher of roleplaying game Actual Plays. They play games set in dark worlds like Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition, KULT, and Ravenloft.

Their media contains the following tropes:
- Antihero: This or Villain Protagonist is the most common incarnation of their player character base. There are exceptions, though.
- Bittersweet Ending: Usually just about what the best anyone can hope for at the end of their games.
- Celebrity Voice Actor: They've had a few who are in the gaming industry:
- Matthew Dawkins and Klara Herbol are both developers for Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition who have participated in their games.
- Jason Carl is the lead developer for White Wolf and a famous web video Storyteller himself.
- Darker and Edgier: They do horror-themed roleplaying games for adults. Even The Curse of Strahd is played absolutely straight.
