The Dance and the Dawn

By Warren Tusk
Players: 15
Genre: Gothic fairy-tale romance
Once
upon a time, there was a beautiful lady… and things didn’t go so well for her.
She had to make sacrifices; that’s just how the world works, you know?
Eventually, she had to sacrifice her heart. Now she has one chance to get it
back, to find her true love. 
Once
upon a time, there was a handsome lord… and things didn’t go so well for him.
He
wants to sneer. But it’s so cold inside his heart…
The
game takes place on the Isle of Ice, at the Queen of Ice’s midnight ball. There
are three distinct types of PC, two of which are: the Ladies of Ash and the
Lords of Ice. Female Lords are easily accommodated; male Ladies are possible
but less likely. There are also non-dancing PC roles for those that prefer
interacting with the game on a different level. The dancing will be the
simplest sorts of ballroom dances. These will be taught before game, so you do
not need to know them already. Costuming, while easy, is very important. The
game is light on plot and heavy on characterisation. It will involve waltzing,
pretty dresses, and loads and loads of Gothic fairy-tale angst.
Cost: $US35
