Princess Thread

Princess thread! Talk about princesses and stuff. Saving, kidnapping or working for them for fun and profit.

Continued from

So which race has the best princesses?

This seems relevant.

Depends on the setting, but I'd probably say humans or elves.

Elven royalty would have extremely long reigns during which they'd amass a wealth of experience (assuming they weren't killed).

Dwarf or Orc princesses are best

>All princess party
How to make it work, anons?

Do you like strong independent princesses who don't need no Prince or meek submissive princesses who will love their Prince long time?

Nature loves diversity.

Reminder that if she is not herself the reigning monarch, you are to refer to the princess as "your highness," and not "your majesty!"

If Dragon Commander taught me anything it's that the undead have objectively the best wife.

Go full Fire Emblem and have royalty who do battle on the frontlines/go off adventuring in small groups.

What might work better is to have say, one or two Princesses (who might be related) and their retainers/bodyguards/advisors etc. It can be a really good dynamic that allows for variety.

Evilgrin Kingdombane has sacked all neighboring kingdoms and kidnapped all the princesses, and nobody's a bad enough dude to save them. It's up to the princesses to escape and organize a resistance to defeat the defiler.

>Dragon Commander
Now there's a game I've wanted to play ever since it was released but somehow never got around to it.

>The worst girl
Camilla or bust.

It's not actually that good. I mean, I enjoyed all the talky parts, but it's just not a good RTS.

Human for variety in basically everything.

Is this like the inverse of the princess kidnapping ERP that was going on in the last thread?

What about princesses who didn't know they were princesses until they had already been raised as a badass?

Isn't she more like a baroness?

Well now that you mention it, I guess.

Isn't this pretty much Tower Girls with less art?

I think it should be a follow-up campaign. Kidnap all the princesses, then the campaign ends and you start playing as the princesses to try and escape.

Honestly I don't remember. Haven't played that game since I was a tween.

Have you guys ever played a princess character? What was she like?

I mostly wanted to play it for the waifus anyway

Princess Pillowfighter.

Her, Eliwood, and Hector are all Marquis. Kind of a weird title that's just below a Duke, historically charged with borderland defense.

Reposting for awareness: here is the email to contact if anyone here is interested in playing a lewd online campaign about kidnapping princesses for fun and profit. We currently have a shortage of players in the EU timezones, which is where the GM is. Americans are also welcome, of course, but there may have to be two separate groups.

This to be perfectly fair.

It all depends on if you believe that the game can stand on it's own with just the talky, decisions, law and policy making parts. In my opinion yes. Yes it can and wonderfully so.

Too cold and severe.

Ophelia is a good wife, warm and welcoming.

They are also semi-independent, part of an alliance of marquis rather than a solid system of feudal oaths.

Why is she wearing the Gravity suit?

I play a mongol-ish half-dragon warrior who never knew her mother (other than occasionally coaxing a story out of some elders about her father's 'red lady' foreign wife). She also happened to be a red-bloodline dragon blooded while get tribe were all blues.

A third of the way through the campaign while exploring distant lands, she finds out she looks *just like* a royal family of distant dragon-themed faux imperial China.

I like going elf if only to hear the lamentations of the elven delegation as I had her abandon all of traditions and modernize up.

ERP.

Pretty much this.

I don't know, user. It was just some Princess art I had.

>How many princesses have you saved?
Does the daughter of the matron of a drow household count?

Almost certainly, yes. Storytime?

>kidnapping
Reminds me of that campaign my players had where they started kidnapping princes and princesses and selling them to foreign kingdoms because they got bored of enslaving entire towns.

Now this definitely needs a storytime.

>how to make an all princess party work

A redundant question, as princesses can be fluffed to be literally anything based off of the culture they're from. Warrior princesses, clerical princesses, bardic princesses, etc.

Being a Princess is hard work. You're trying to learn how to act in court and balance all of the subtle politics of the land all the while every pretty boy with even a minor title or lands is fawning over you, trying to distract you like they even have a chance of catching your eye. And then all the other men are lusting over you or your wealth, you constantly have to be on guard when travelling since all sorts think that you're just some prize they can catch which will grant them a rich ransom.

Not to mention the wizards and arcanists who feel they need royal virgins to power their powerful magicks that twist reality or demons and higher dimensional beings who claim they are fulfilling prophecies from ages past. It's a tough life!

Dragons are a particular pain too, because they don't want anything more than a trophy to sit in a gilded cage atop their horde and who in the heck can stop a dragon when it's swooping down on your carriage or landing atop your high tower roof?

>who in the heck can stop a dragon when it's swooping down on your carriage or landing atop your high tower roof?
There is one they fear.

And her name is Lina Inverse

The problem with adventurers is they're never around when you need them. Sure they flock about _after_ you're already having tea on a mountain of gold or you're about to be sacrificed by one dumb cult or another, but that's a lot of time being taken away from your studies. How can you expect to rule a kingdom when half the time you're in the clutches of one nefarious being or another? And don't get me started on after you do get saved and suddenly they're demanding your hand in marriage or some rubbish. Like I even want to kiss your grubby cheek after you spend weeks without a bath trudging through some swampy wasteland..

>DMing for ten people

Training for affairs of state later in life.

If she can keep a game of 10 psychologically diverse individuals entertained for a few hours and emotionally invested in the game then working a committee/council/team of diplomats later in life should be absolutely no problem.

Milder? Drow elf High Priestess stand user.

>The problem with adventurers is they're never around when you need them.
Fast travel milady. He's never late, not is he really. He arrives precisely when he means to.

>not is he really.
Nor is he early.

Then why doesn't he fast travel his ass over when my carriage is being assaulted or take care of the skulking cultists _before_ they get to my bedchamber? The castle guard are hilariously incompetent, by the way. They might as well just be empty suits of armor for all the good they do.

All I'm asking for is a little bit of rest from the constant threats so I can concentrate on learning my duties and enjoying courtly life.

I kinda wishh I could play a slight naive princess that has was too much time and money and needs to survive the court, war, rebellions, forced marriages and dragon kidnappings. I know it would be a lot duller in practice and a bit erp, but the idea is nice in my head.

It'd be kinda tough unless you made it a solo session too, because I can't imagine what the others would play as.

I had a friend bully me into playing a pathfinder game by offering the role of a noble daughter who was embroiled in court politics while there was a rebellion going on (the other characters were more concerned with this)

It was pretty fun, when it involved actually meeting with people and playing politics. Trying to catch the prince's eye meanwhile setting up alliances in case he decided on a more political marriage.

It wasn't dull at all and didn't at all feel like erp or magical realm. I just got to play a princess role and it was amazing.

Except for all the parts that were standard adventuring and dealing with pathfinder's rules.

The way we had it set up the other players were a noble whose lands were seized by a rival family who was trying to get them back and a diplomat from the elven nations who had some secret objective that was never quite clear to me. We all had things to do and the adventuring was in between mostly as we travelled from location to location. My father had been sort of kidnapped by Drow, too, so I was trying to figure out the mystery behind that sort of too on top of everything else.

That is way too many freaking players. Even if the dm can technically manage it, that's a tiny slice of the pie each player is going to have to share, time-wise.

Also:

> Implying Belle wouldn't be DM

Tell me more about the defiling part.

I, uh... need to get my... ire up.

No one else is good at managing large groups of people.
What, you think the dwarves were actually organized before Snow White? Bitch please, she's the living emblem of the duties of the noble class in regards to the medieval feasibility of anarchomutualism.
Why else would every dwarven socialist commune degenerate into aristocratic communism past a certain population point?

>I can't feel pretty in this!
>It's so... Drab!
>I'm a princess, not a peasant!
>Does it come in white? Or pink?
>Ew, we have to crawl through that?
>This rope is too slippery!
>Ow, those barbs hurt!
>The wire's too low!
>Why are these things so high?
>I chipped a nail!
>What do you mean "low crawl"? I can't get any lower without dragging my face through the mud!
>I think I'm dying...

Defiling? Oh, all manner of horrid things. And most done publicly, too.

, Marquessa, actually.
Her grandfather is a Marquis.

So with a crowd watching?
"Hey guys, look at these princesses going through Basic!"
"Man, they are going to get fucked so hard. I mean, so are we, but I bet the paperwork uses lube on them."

It turns out to be Kingdombane's undoing, as the training taught the princesses how to escape and endure hardship, eventually culminating when they in turn teach the resistance how to use the evil hordes' tactics against them.

Sure.
So our party has had a long history of fighting aberrations and things that in general just should not be. We've had more than a few run-ins with mind flayers it's becoming clear they're trying to...do...something. We're still not sure what kind of planetary alignment shenanigans they were up to, but it couldn't have been good. So the party decides to go deal with the problem at the source. Eventually we find ourselves trekking through the underdark trying to find where the colony could be. Instead, we run into some scouts from a drow settlement.

Now if the party wasn't obviously dangerous to risk retribution from, and we weren't going to make ourselves useful anyways by removing the illithid threat, they probably would have tried to flay us alive. I'm still surprised my elf wasn't lynched. It probably helped that I played up the groveling, inferior male act.

After some intense negotiation, we are offered safety by one of the houses if "we could prove ourselves useful" in exchange. In a case of drow politics, the matron's eldest daughter was kidnapped by one of the rival houses. She wanted to resolve the situation quietly, for fear of appearing weak to the third household if the incident was revealed, and our passing through was a good opportunity.

...

>Stole a Princess's heart
>She turns into the BBEG

o no

So we do some sneaky cheeki breeki and rescue her without anyone being any the wiser. We were useful enough to warrant some food and some space to rest in at least, but our peaceful meal is interrupted by the matron's daughter who, while begrudgingly thankful, wants to be entertained with our knowledge of the surface world. I tell her about our adventures, about fighting cultists, slaying a beholder, what life is like up there and so on, until she is satisfied enough to let us actually get some sleep.

After getting prepared he head out, following some tunnels and markings that should point us in the right direction. We find the colony, kill some squids, drop some architecture on a big nerd brain, and flee back to the drow settlement. Again, we're allowed to rest for a time having dealt with the illithid problem for the most part and again, we're badgered by the matron's daughter to share stories about our adventures and the surface. Well, I enjoy telling the stories. Everyone else just wants to sleep and go home. We leave on about as friendly of terms as possible and continue our adventures.

And then one day, she caught up with us. Some time after we left there were more upsets in the politics down there and her household came out on the losing side. Rather than be taken by one of the other houses, she fled to the surface to find the probably the last group of people she could at least ostensibly trust. So now she travels with us, usually in disguise. She's a bit haughty and prickly at times, but she's not bad to be around. Her excitement and curiosity about the world above is endearing enough that the group has gotten attached.

Anyone got the picture of a princess in a spaceship?
She's looking at you and there is a space window begins her showing the outer space.

She sounds like a really good addition to the party.

Some princesses can fight, too!

I sent an email.

Posting TG's best Princesses.

I want to marry a princess!

I think the guy organizing it went to bed, but you'll probably get a reply tomorrow.

That can often end badly.

Knights can do it better, Princess.

NOT MUH WAIFU

I concur.

They also look better doing it too.

Lyn is for bullying.

How dare you.
Lucina is the one true bully victim

She's also a good bullying target.

Strong independent musclegirl princesses who are seeking a meek, submissive, qt prince to snu snu

What about princess knights?

...

Is it translated yet?

...

First chapter has been typeset. There's txt documents with rough translations for most of the other chapters, but still waiting on proper scanlations for them.

I'm just as good as a knight!

Counterpoint: Some aren't so great. Really bad, actually.

>implying Mickey isn't the DM

>You will never get to be her prince
It's sad but we can still dream

Okay, pick this up then.

Mine's bigger.

That image makes me happy.

How is your falconry (Owlry)?

This image makes me happy.

...

Pocahantas is a Ranger
Ariel is a bard
Elsa is a mage
Mu-Lan is a fighter
Irish girl I forget name of is also Ranger

DESU they just need a cleric IMO. Rapunzel? Cleric of her Hair?

As a princess all animals love me.

No it's not you're just smaller.

Are you pious and pure of heart?

That comes with being a princess in the first place.
