[QUOTE="Dark Mistress, post: 5759875, member: 11816"] I think it can work. I idea sounds intriguing to me. Of course I think it could work in a regular DnD setting before. I have run in and played in games with gothic horror elements and have them work well. Same goes for romance. IMHO the key to both of them working is getting the players to buy in and play along. To mentally and emotionally invest in the game. Which is not something you can really write into the adventure. You can set up situations in the adventure where they can work, but the players need to buy in as well. It helps to know your players really well to know what will appeal to them when it comes to romance. Just be relaxed and look at it as a lot of harmless flirting for fun. Except of course it will be done IC. One thing I would suggest is having a handsome bad guy with a heart of gold. Maybe he does what he does cause of a lost love and getting revenge on those he blames for talking him away, allowing one of the girls to redeem him. Most of us love that sort of thing. :) I would also recommend watching as many "chick flicks" as you can. Especially period pieces set in a similar time. Not sure what else advice I could give outside of specific questions. Just know what you are trying to do can work in games. I have done them as a GM and as a player before. [/QUOTE]
