So I have extremely vivid dreams sometimes, and last night I had a dream about a new TTRPG that had released. It was a blatant ripoff of DnD called “Dames and Daddies.”
In this game, all of the liches from OG DnD lore had somehow come back to life and turned into hot young wizards again. Sure, they lost their lichdom and immortality, but surprisingly, most of them were chill about it?? The game was mainly a dating sim, and players would roleplay while trying to seduce all the magical dames and daddies. The most powerful daddy was said to be the hardest to win over, and he was clearly annoyed by the constant stream of under-leveled adventurers that kept showing up trying to impress him.
If the party failed to make him fall in love, he would get fed up with romance and devote himself to achieving lichdom again, eventually succeeding and becoming the BBEG. And since the players had to spend most of the game roleplaying and going on dates, they had basically no combat abilities. So the only way the party could defeat the BBEG was by convincing enough of their paramours to fight him on their behalf. Since he was the only magic user in existence to become a lich twice, BBEG became incomprehensibly powerful. So the party’s success in the final battle was completely dependent on the size and combined strength of the wizard harem they managed to amass over the campaign.
I’m still remembering more bits and pieces of this buckwild shit. I’m not sure what prompted this absolute fever dream, but I guess thanks for the entertainment, brain. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
