I was reminded of one of the WotC free original adventures, <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article1.asp?x=dnd/oa/oa20010330a,3" target="_blank">Manifesting: A Tale</a>. (This adventure involves psionics, but you can easily swap them out for roughly equivalent sorceress spells.) From the blurb: "Mystery surrounds the fortress of Melinas -- Lord Prisius' daughter has vanished. To find her, the PCs must navigate a fortress full of ghostly manifestations and strange NPCs."Change things around so that your wife's character = Lord Prisius' daughter. Maybe there is some hunky adventurer in the castle looking to rescue her, but she has to make contact with him and in the mean time, fend for herself.Another princess-themed WotC adventure is <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article1.asp?x=dnd/oa/oa20001101a,3" target="_blank">Vessel of Stars</a>: "the player characters find themselves escorting a child queen to a mysterious location in an area stalked by extraplanar horrors, their goal blocked by alien assassins and secret forces. Will the queen escape and return home to rule?"Again, change this around so that your wife's character = the child queen, and she is not the helpless damsel in distress of the published adventure. Make her an active participant in a safe escape from the assassins and so forth - this would give your wife's character a chance to boss around a bunch of NPC retainers and men-at-arms. Could be satisfying, for her. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Yet another WotC free adventure which seems to have strong role-playing possibilities, although not as heavily princessy, is <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article1.asp?x=dnd/oa/oa20000901a,3" target="_blank">The Ettin's Riddle</a>: "An ettin has begun terrorizing the hamlet of Newkeep, stealing cattle and smashing homes -- and flattening anyone who tries to stop him. Meanwhile, a mysterious riddle has appeared on the walls of the local shrine -- a riddle which may hold the key to vanquishing the ettin." The nice thing about this adventure is that it can be solved completely non-violently. (Again, you'll need to modify it a bit.) Depeding upon how your wife builds her character, a non-violent solution might be highly advisable, given that princess/sorceresses are not well known for their prowess in battle.Finally, and this is kind of random, have you read the story <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0937986631/qid=1059401143/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-2001466-8335822?v=glance&s=books" target="_blank">Daughter of Regals</a> by Stephen R. Donaldson? It's a bit out there, but could give you some good ideas for princess-based roleplaying.Hmm. Princess-based roleplaying. I like that sound of that. So, which d20 company wants to step into the fray and start churning out supplements? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
