Help[Games] Britt's Kingdom Congrats Sign-Up
I was having trouble coming up with an original idea for a new congrats game, so I'm taking my two signature games, the fairytale congrats and the kingdom congrats, and combining them. In this game, all fairytales take place in the same kingdom. This is how it will work:
The king and queen will be mentioned, but not played. Their children will be the princes and princesses from traditional fairytales. The first to sign up, whether prince or princess, will be Heir Apparent and inherit the throne at some point in the game. The non-royal fairytales will make the rest of the kingdom. You can also adapt a story so it is non-royal. The set-up and categories will be the same as my regular kingdom congrats: Royal Family, The Nobility, The Wealthy and Influential, The Foreign Presence, the Populace. As usual, the first sign-up as a royal child will set the language and tone for the game. Some suggestions for stories to use in each category:
Royal Family: Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, but any where one of the characters is a born royal can be used.
Nobility: Any fairytale can really be used here, just turn the characters into nobles. Rumplestiltskin and Rapunzel are two that could work particularly well with this.
Wealthy and Influential: Like with nobility, almost any tale could be converted to make the “prince” a orator or general. All of the stories about merchants’ children would work here too.
Foreign Presence: This is where stories from all over the world would be really interesting to see, such as from the Arabian Nights or Baba Yaga cycles. Myths can also be used here.
The Populace: Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel are the first to come to mind. Since many of these deal with children, feel free to make up a spouse.
Note to first Sign-Up: the language does NOT have to be German or French. Since this is another world, you can use any language.
Feel free to use any story you want—as long as the main character doesn’t die in the end, or there is an alternate TRADITIONAL (i.e. not Disney) version of the story where the main character lives, feel free to do anything you want! You can use any fairytale you like, even the lesser-known ones. A good site to get started is www.surlalunefairytales.com, but you don’t have to use stories only on this site.
Prompt for Sign-Up: In the Kingdom of Tayl, where magic is a matter-of-course and everyone who’s anyone has a fairy godmother or two, the royal city upon Atyme Hill is full of much rejoicing and celebration. The king and queen’s beloved children, after wading through magical muck enough to fill several enchanted swamps, have all married, and the entire kingdom approves of the matches. Though not all the new spouses are high-ranking, all have proven themselves adept at dealing with magic, a skill not to be sneezed at in a land where a sneeze in the wrong direction can bring the curse of a vindictive enchanter down on you.
