Plus in spite of everything, Londo kept making poor decisions which lead him to a result he was trying to avoid.
Tragedy in Fantasy: several of the Ravenloft novels cover that. I, Strahd isn't the only example. Some were better than others (as is the case with any series of novels with mixed authors).
As for Tragedy in RPG, again, several of the Ravenloft modules cover this, as do a few non-ravenloft modules. There was one nice low-level mod (I think it was in a Dungeon Mag) set in a bog. You could roll or just decide what the motivations for the mis-matched lovers was.
One key to remember: Tragedy is not the same thing as sad. I cannot tell you how many times some idiot news reporter refers to something as a tragedy, when it isn't. Tragedy in not just sad, but someone causing their own downfall, usually through pride, and usually inadvertently. Tragedy is not the same as sad, nor is it the same as irony.
