Castlevania RPG
is a sprite comic that spoofs
Castlevania and other
Role Playing Games. It was originally supposed to be a co-operative effort alternating between sprite comics by the main author and his sister, who also writes and draws
Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures . It's set in the same universe but with original characters that were adapted from a Forum
Role-Playing Game done by the creator. The story somewhat parallels
Castlevania circa-
Circle of the Moon, but mostly the cast just gets into random hijinks involving stopping Dracula and all evil, along with getting some beef jerky, catnip and booze. The cast includes:
- Darkmoon: An ensouled vampire with an insatiable lust for money and barmaids.
- Alec: An extremely androgynous Holy Warrior with a penchant for jerky.
- Katrina: Mage-turned-Catgirl via a curse.
- Princess: The comic's requisite princess—who happens to have lesbian tendencies.
- Angel: An Archangel sent by God to aid the heroes on their quest.
This webcomic provides examples of:
- Absurdly Spacious Sewer
- Badass Damsel: Princess. Implied in first appearance.
- Bad Future: The 1000th comic special shows what could have happened if Darkmoon had not used time travel hijinks to stop Evil!Alec from summoning the Elder God. Essentially, Alec and Princess are dead, Darkmoon himself is MIA, Angel has been possessed by the Elder God and now leads its forces, and Katrina is leading the remnants of humanity in a Hopeless War against them.
- Alec gets trapped in another one where Dracula actually managed to succeed in taking over the world, killed the rest of the party except for Golem, and is actually competent.
- Big Bad: Dracula
- Black and Gray Morality
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Angel during the fight with the Elder God. Ends up killing Darkmoon.
- Character Development: Darkmoon going from a lecherous Jerk Ass to a semi-heroic Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Katrina going from a short tempered bitch and Squishy Wizard to an experienced mage and fighter and main voice of reason for the party, Alec going from a ditzy, somewhat Stupid Good man to a smart, confident and pragmatic hero, and others.

- The "Lusty Siren" tavern and Darkmoon inevitably doing something to earn a chase from an angry mob
