Weird random event table, homosexual encounters/events.

[WayneLigon]

1. After a series of successful adventures in the area, one of the party members finds he or she has a 'groupie' of the same sex who becomes obsessed with them.

2. The Goddess of Love decides to shake things up in a particular city by turning the tables on a spring 'Festival of Love' that's really just a disguised orgy. For a night, a day, and a night, she induces in each person a complete and abiding love (not lust) for another person of their own sex. The party either gets trapped in this effect, or comes into town during it. And how do they deal with it after the effect ends?

3. If the party regularly deals with a particular craftsman, one day they notice several bruises on one of the apprentices. If asked, the craftsman says the apprentice tangled with a group of bullies, but the apprentice tells a different story later: the craftsman beat him when the apprentice was found kissing a young man who is apprentice to another trade. The youth cannot leave service, since his family would then forfit his bond and he'd have no trade to show for his years of work. How can the party help him?

4. For many years, a city has relied upon the services of a mercenary company to protect it. Now the new mayor finds that the captain of the military band could care less whether or not some of his men sleep with each other, and terminates their contract. The city fathers try to get the party to raise a militia company to defend them from the bands of humanoids that roam the area.

5. That love pation you just bought? It doesn't care what sex it works on, and you just unknowingly knocked it into the tavern's stewpot. Hilarity ensues.

6. The paladin discovers that his squire has fallen for him. Is it hero-worship or something a lot deeper?

7. A young woman and her female lover are met on the road, travelling in secret. it turns out that one of them is the second daughter of a local noble and is due to be wed in one week to a powerful merchant. She flees the merchant's men to be with the only person she really does love.

8. Two young men in love with each other seek sanctuary in the Love Goddess' temple. The sancity of the temple is breached and the pair are taken off to prison. A week later, during the full moon when her power is the greatest, the Love Goddess curses the area: no procreation can take palce. At all. Babies are not born, or are born dead. Seed does not germinate, thus plants cannot grow. Animals do not breed. Fruit withers on the vine. (if you want to get really scientific, problems erupt because bacteria - including the beneficial flora in the intestine - does not replace itself - I'm sure other hideous consequences also occur) Because of the time differential, the city does not realize what has angered Her. The party must discover what has happened and free the men before the entire area starves to death.

I really like this one, an adventure pretty much springs to mind just reading it.

I want to post something here before the "Stuff" hits the fan

"A local Heroine--for her valor in defending the lands--was granted a piece of land on the frontier of the nation (and the title "Baroness") by a Duke. The keep is nearing completion, and the she is expected, by custom, to take a husband begin a "lineage". She is Bisexual and is more than willing to have a "marriage of convenience" with the son of a prominent merchant (who will be granted a lower station than her).

Her Lesbian lover (a fellow party member) wants no part of a polyamorous relationship, and has been hoping that the cede of land would be an opportunity for she and the Heroine to settle down.

The PC's can be involved by....

• Knowing the Merchant Son, who has had threats, and an unsuccessful attempt on his life by an "unknown force" who is against the marriage (This can be the lesbian Lover, a rival merchant house, or some other faction witha stake in th marriage). The merchant Son is enthusiastic about the marriage not just because it is advantageous to his family, but because The Heroine is hot (He's young! Lighten up)
  
  
• Knowing the Lesbian Lover, who is very much just wants a quiet "married" life away from crawling through dungeons and looting treasure. The cede of land was a perfect end to her adventuring days: Far enough away from the capitol that her relationship with The Heroine, would not be well-known; and secure and homey enough that their lives would not be a constant battle for survival (like adventuring). The arrival of the Merchant Son, and The Heroine's enthusiasm for the marriage, are admittedly a bit of a slap in the face to the Lesbian Lover...who has been loyal and steadfast all these years.
  
  
• Knowing The Heroine, who, while very fond of the Lesbian Lover, has been "missing" male companionship for quite some time, and considers the marriage to be a terrific "fix" for her dilemma. Unknown to the Lesbian Lover, she also has no real plans to settle down, and plans to use her new keep as a base of operations to expand her territories into Hobgoblin lands. A marriage to the Merchant Son, who is both wealthy enough to hire mercenaries and a decent enough swordsman himself, meets The Heroine's needs exactly as well as fulfilling her oaths to the Duke. Plus, he is hot! (She's young! Lighten up!)

Here are some for cultures not as homophobic as many today:

1) The PCs are asked to escort a nobleman's son to a city a few days away for an arranged wedding. Along the way, they find that the son is in love with his (male) attendant, & the two are waiting for a chance to run away from the group. Do the PCs help the young lovers (risking the ire of a powerful noble), fulfill their sworn task (gaining a nice payment for their efforts), or turn a blind eye to the planned escape (but leaving these two city fellows to make it on their own in the wilds)?

2) The party encounters a representative of a strange & rare race. Although they resemble humans, there are no females of this species. Instead, they reproduce through a form of interspecies surrogacy whereby in male will place his seed in a host from a humanoid race; there it will grow & within 2 weeks emerge as an infant of this race. The representative has approached the party to request that one of the party members serve as a host (DMs choice if host must be female, or if the hosting does not require standard reproductive organs & can take place in either gender). He assures the party that hosting his child will not damage the surrogate. Can he be trusted?

3) Every three years at the Truelove Festival, the oracle descends from her mountain retreat to scry for the youth of the local village. In the water of her magical bowl, the face of one's only true love can be seen, & the viewer will have a sense of the direction & distance to them. A handsome young man has found the party, & is convinced that one of the male party members is the one whom he saw in the bowl two months ago at the festival. If he is mistaken, then where is his true love?

4) While staying in a small village, a winsome lass approaches one of the male party members for a night of pleasure. Her manner seems a bit awkward, however. It turns out that she only wants to become pregnant so that she & her wife can have a child of their own to raise. While she's willing to go the traditional route to become pregnant, there is a danger her wife might be so angered that the couple would split up. Can the party convince the wife to go along with the plan, or perhaps discover some magical means of effecting a pregnancy without sex?

5) The party arrives in a large town to find a celebration in full swing. The daughter of a wealthy local tradesman is taking a wife, & the handfasting ceremony is about to start. As the couple climbs the dais in the town square to take their vows, a figure appears in a burst of smoke, grabs the daughter's fiancee, & vanishes. Who is the kidnapper, & can the party rescue the fair maiden?

How about these:

The party is approached by a woman who wants their help. She and her lover want to secretly leave the city because her lover's parents disapprove of their relationship. The other woman is being heavily guarded. Well into the mission the PCs discover that the parents are not upset about their daughter being in a lesbian relationship, but that her lovers family has the taint of filthy elven blood!

In the forest the party happen upon a young man who is being hunted down by a Paladin. The party learns that in this kingdom the local order of Paladins is composed entirely of homosexual men, and by divine decree any gay man born in the kingdom must join the order. The young man loves nature and wants to be a Ranger or a Druid.

 

[Kichwas]

A strong minded woman with an abusive past has scorned men and taken on a lebian lifestyle. Here, as a butch she gathers young gullible fems to her and inspires in them a hatred of men. She makes this task easier by picking those women with abusive pasts via male relatives and/or lovers, despite she herself filling much the same role for these women.

She then uses them to commit a series of gruesome murders in the city that in some way mimic the MO of a monster - perhaps vampire or ghoul.

 

[FoxWander]

Here are a few...

1) In the 'home base' town of the party a young man is murdered on the eve of his wedding. A mid-level female warrior is promptly arrested for the crime. Until very recently she was in a well known lesbian relationship with the would-be bride, it is assumed that she killed the man in a fit of jealousy after their recent break-up. The imprisoned warrior woman appeals to the party to prove her innocence.

2) A local noble and mage is found dead in a part of town known for it's rapant prostituion. Recently several "johns" have been killed in this area and the watch is looking for a murderous prostitute. The noble's family ask the party to investigate quietly to avoid a scandal. During the investigation the party finds that the noble himself was the murderous prostitute. He was playing a kinky "game"- using polymorph self to change sex and rolling his clients for cash and fun.

3) Somebody slips a 'special potion' into the party's collection of healing potions: a combination cursed 'sex-change' effect (like the old Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity) and an Elixer of Love! Hilarity ensues. Or just have ALL the healing potions replaced with Elixers of Love. Maybe the last collection the aquired were blessed by the Goddess of Love and the have a (perhaps temporary, perhaps not) Elixer of Love effect in addition to the healing. Either way, it's sure to make for an interesting time.

This is going to turn into a train wreck within 2 pages, isn't it?

Anyway, here's one: someone or something is killing various people in the city. These people have the common feature that they're all gay and/or lesbian, and aren't up there in the social order. The authorities don't really care about the problem, so it's up to the PCs to sort things out.

This was actually the plot of an independent Canadian film, Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter. Vampire were going around killing lesbians in droves, leading to a lesbian vampire cult. Rather reminiscent of Troma flicks in a lot of ways. And you can't not like a movie which has a character named Mary Magnum.

Spoiler

This was going to be "the party encounter an elf. All elves being queers, it count as a homosexual encounter".

Heh. A team of five elves has been touring the city, giving people tips on fashion, design, diet...

... however, their "Grooming Guru" was brutally murdered after suggesting to a dwarf that his beard was a "hideous abomination", and that he should "cut it off, cut it all off... and burn it".

-Hyp.

 

[Will]

Party interested in stopping a growing rift between elven and human kingdom.

Turns out, the human king is horrified, because his son was propositioned by a visiting elven prince.


Various permutations suggest themselves, such as... perhaps it wasn't the elf who initiated things, perhaps things went further than simple proposition. Maybe even the elf wasn't really interested, but was willing to play nice. While not gay or bi, heck, he's 200, what's a little loving to smooth over racial relations.

The king and court may know varying degrees or have different ideas of what went on. The elves may also have varying attitudes. Perhaps the prince didn't know how humans felt, or perhaps the secret simply escaped. The elves probably feel that the humans are small minded bigots, while the humans feel the elves are decadent degenerates with no moral compass.

What might be interesting is if the humans know elven clerics who follow good gods. A strong indication that while human religions feel one way or another, apparently good gods support elves who feel much different...

I also love setting up opportunities for good characters to be on opposite sides of a conflict.
