Princess Thread III

Why do dragons kidnap princesses in the first place?

Value/weight ratio.

bara king, ancient king, or other

Sorry, which game was the one that is probably not happening and most likely to happen?

The one that wasn't promising anything is the only one I've heard back from.

So that their half-dragon offspring will stop whining about "being lonely" and "not having any friends".

Well, the background of the character is that he was overthrown and now he travels the world seeking for people that supports him to get his kingdom back
And he has an eagle for mount but no game will ever fullfill the air combat possibilities of that.

Posting tg's "favorite" princesses.

Well, email sent.

Sounds bara. I think this board likes that?

I need pictures.

Pictures of Stone Age and Bronze Age princesses

I heard there were princesses in trouble so I came as fast as I could.

Noblebright too if you want a harem anime.

I made a terrible mistake.

They untied my wrists and the wrappings around my head so I could eat. I was in a small cloistered room with the only light coming from a lamp in the next room through a small window in the door. I was terrified. The man standing in the cell with me looked like a highwayman, dressed in dark leathers with a travelling cloak, unshaven and hair in desperate need of a comb.He had thick gloves on that smelled like a stable as they removed my blindfold and gag. He only commanded me to eat, but otherwise didn't talk. The way he said it made it sound kind of like he had a northern accent, but it was too hard to say for certain.

It was hard to eat with him staring at me like he was, not to mention the stew was watery and cold, and the bread tasted stale. Normally I wouldn't have touched such appalling food, but I was so hungry that I couldn't help myself. From the look of my gaoler's face I didn't feel like complaining would get me very far either. My father has oft scolded me on my sharp tongue and for once I felt it prudent to bite back the litany of words I would have with this man.

When I was done eating, he took away the wooden bowl and spoon and got down on one knee, near the hem of my skirts. I shrieked on instinct, but it turned out he was only loosening the ropes around my ankles. So certain I was that this brute had ill intentions, but instead he simply kicked a brass pot I hadn't noticed and told me to make my water there should I feel the need. Then, with my discarded bindings in hand he had me stand on the far end of the cell while he opened the door.

I wasn't exactly in my right mind, but I couldn't bear to spend any longer trapped like some hound in a kennel. Boggans be damned! I summoned up the magical energies like I had practiced and threw them into my gaoler's eyes, using his shock and confusion to run between him and the now open door. My graces I think I never have run so fast. Not knowing where I was didn't matter to me, and I noticed a stairway and door like a cellar entrance leading up. There was a lock on the outside, and were I simply a duke's daughter I would still be trapped, but the magics I had practiced allowed me to unfasten the lock and a burst forth into the night air with ease, the sound of what was definitely Northern cursing coming from behind me.

There wasn't much time to take stock of my surroundings. The air was cooler than I expected, and there was a large building next to me with loud sounds and bright light coming from inside. From behind there was an outhouse that was being used, as I heard someone who was startled by the noise I had made. Turning around the corner of the building was the entrance. It was some sort of traveller's tavern, and the sign above the door looked like a strange sort of rooster. I hurriedly looked for letters that might identify the establishment, but a burst of sound and light as someone exited the building startled me. I didn't get a good look at who or what it was as suddenly large gloved hands grabbed my arms from behind and a large sack was slipped over my head.

Voices argued as my arms were forced behind me and rope was wound tightly around my wrists like before. There was shouting and more arguing and I was jostled around, forced to walk ahead of whoever still held my arms. A heavy metal hinge was banded around my neck, keeping the sack in place as I was made to return to the cellar. I tried to listen to what was being said, but they flung me down the stairs and I hit the ground hard. It was difficult to focus as I was drug back into the cell, the door slammed shut behind me. The voices got quieter and after hearing the cellar door slam shut as well, I could no longer make them out.

I want a strong woman to treat me like her princess.

Same

Bad news, they're all arab and indian princesses.

Or good news. You do you.

This is why you gag and mitten magic users.

+blindfold. Can't firebolt bitches if you can't see them

So would this be an appropriate precaution for magic users?

Definitely a step in the right direction, although something more setting-appropriate would be nice.

There's still the possibility of still+silent spells, something to disrupt their concentration would be advised

that's what the vibrators are for.

For the ransom. Duh.
It's literally a dragon get-rich-quick scheme.

Some princesses are as cold as ice...

I want to be that prince

In mythology it's usually because their master wants them to.
When Perseus rescued Andromeda from a monstrous serpent it was because the gods had unleashed the monster on Andromeda's homeland for some slight and told the royal family through the oracle that only by sacrificing their princess to it they could make amends.
Since perseus was related to gods he was able to diffuse the situation when saving her.

This all reminds me of a campaign that never took off. DM wanted to run a game with dragon PCs kidnapping princesses in order to advance age categories. Princesses might be valuable for mundane reasons and kept for political connections, art objects or snacks , or might have magical powers that made them valuable to keep around as casters or used to fuel the dragons own spells.

To ensure enough princesses for the party, the world was mostly going to be city-state kingdoms with their own royalty in each. Raid some farms for mutton, raid the capitols for princesses.

That... actually sounds pretty entertaining. How would you get them all to work together though? Wouldn't the PCs just all shank eachother for the princesses?

Continuous reminder that in most cases, calling a princess "your majesty" is completely incorrect! Princesses are styled, "your highness."

What are some of the various disguises you've seen Princesses take?

My party encountered one disguised as a man once. Another time was in a servant's outfit.

This user knows!

A thief and kidnapper.

As I recall we were invading from a different plane where dragons were more common, and in addition to the party who start as hatchlings there were older, more powerful dragons we had to band together against. Possibly leading to a Council of Wyrms scenario later on.

Also, we had several class/lineages to pick from rather than the dragons in the game. So the heraldic, draconic dragons were more the fighter option, lung dragons were physically weak casters, wyverns were rogue types, linnorms barbarians, and wingless drakes somewhere between druid and ranger. All further modified by choosing our breath shape and type, custom evolutions, etc. I remember there was a pretty classic fire dragon from one player, another was doing a mind control sort with sleep breath and I was putting together a xenomorph themed beast.

Princesses already are born into wealth and status, why do they also seem to get magical powers as well?

To keep the wealth and status.

That's what armies and knights are for.

Inheritance? Maybe someone with magic power seized a throne long ago, or someone on the throne was granted magical power, and now the power and loyalty are one in the same?

Alright, thinking about it like that does make some sense.

They actually just want the knights attention.

Because this is our setting.

a good setting

Knights cannot into magic user (well usually)

Because magic is the substitute of "higher learning" which people of high power position need to be able to get around.

Writefag from here. I'm having a bout of writer's block right now and can't continue the story for a bit. If there's any interest in me continuing the story at another time, I can post the link to a twitter account that I used to use to writefag on Veeky Forums ages ago and I can keep you posted that way. Would that be of interest to anyone?

Just post here when you think of more story.

Your story needed to be more descriptive. There was a lot of single words where a more robust description would've served better to explain the scenario, setting, and feelings to the audience.

how would you properly restrain a psionic princess?
they're not hindered by restrains and get nasty bonuses on their concentration

More, bigger vibrators. With all sorts of different ribbings. In all holes.

Aren't most of their spells targeted? A blindfold would probably help.

Don't forget sensory deprivation. Plugs in all the holes, with one acting as a breathing/feeding tube.

Has anyone archived these threads?

>Twist. A Princess is considered a different race than human. Similar to how elves are different.

Anyone can sire a child that is a princess, certainly blood lines (mostly royal ones) have better odds, but everyone has a chance. When the princess is born she is destined to become the Princess-of-something - Land, People, Area, Subject (like magic or water). Upon turning 18(?) she becomes a full realized princess and innately has some form of control or power over the topic which grows in power as she ages.
This is not to be confused with Magic (unless she is a Princess of Magic or water control or something), she wills the natural progress or mindsets of things.

Natural predators include but not restricted to Dragons, Wyrvens, other humans not willing to give up Freedom over an area.

>Cont.
I guess "Queen of something"

Appears as a normal child until 13, Princess (the Larval form) until ...say 24?... Then fully emerges as a Queen.

While a Princess they gain a standard array of abilities. Talking to animals, prefect hair, able to sing large groups to sing with her.

>I don't have any princess art! Sorry!

Not to my knowledge, but someone should. I would if I knew how to.

Result from generations of inbreeding

This would be a pretty good bit of Princess Pillowfighter deepest lore with some minor edits, stolen.

What makes a princess?

To make magical simulacra of them so they can make the other dragons jealous of their limited-edition princess figurines.

Alternatively, the simulacra serve as minis in a wargame.

A dress and a face without any blights or imperfections

Justifies the existence of the nobility without having to deal with messy issues socio-economic oppression.

>I cast tea party
>fucking netdeck bullshit
>dude chill new meta is all about wimple synergy tea party build is seriously subpar

what do you guys think about warrior princesses

Second best kind, right behind adorable daughteru princesses. On the same level as sweet healer princesses and socially inept wizard princesses.

They're great for humiliation

They're great for-

This.

I love you guys

tea party build is coming back. Did you see the prerelease spoilers? There's a new tea set that gets bonuses for each level of fancy you have in the garden.

Don't show that to French catholics, they may not appreciate lewding up patron saint

What's lewd about it? She's just in adequate restraints for a filthy witch.

>filthy witch
Butthurt Anglo detected

Great for /ss/ and snu snu with cute shota princes

I'm so glad I didn't have to oust myself as an Anglo for the joke to work. Thank you, user.

They're good, especially when "incidents" happen on the warpath.

>In an effort to reduce the number of soldiers accidentally walking in on the princess while she's bathing in the river, the royal guard posted a schedule for baths
>Number of soldiers accidentally walking in on the princess while she's bathing in the river skyrocket
Explain this paradox.

They're also great characters for being the expansionist emperor's special little girl

>expansionist emperor's special little girl
These are the worst kinds of characters though, whether they're actually evil or become good later, I don't really see how you can do the character in an interesting way at this point.

Well most archetypes can have good or bad portrayals it depends if they're well written or not

That's what I meant by
> I don't really see how you can do the character in an interesting way at this point.
I'm sure it's possible, but it's certainly an archetype I'd stay far away from.

The answer is porn
>Altruism and a sense of empathy and sexual repression and daddy issues lead the princess to replace the army's comfort girls with herself

Just did it myself for the first two threads.

Vastly improved with a little bondage.

>the spoiler

Being tied up or doing the tying?

Yes.

I came here for princess art, but there's a serious lack thereof.

Best of both worlds.

So I might as well post a few.
