| |
| − | Given that most princesses have a deep and
| |
| − | untouchable respect for fairies, and that most fairies
| |
| − | would sooner give up their wings than mess with a
| |
| − | princess's biz, GUCO princesses mostly go around
| |
| − | checking that everyone's behaving and then being
| |
| − | really pleased when that's the case.
| |
| − | They can be pretty scary in the rare cases when
| |
| − | someone isn't behaving, though. The power and fury of
| |
| − | their disappointment can be unnerving to behold.

| − | === Afternoon Tea Time [ATT] === | + | |valign=top| |
| − | (Tier III Faction)
| |
| − | The party princesses, the talky popular social girls.
| |
| − | ATT are primarily concerned with putting on parties
| |
| − | and making sure everyone's having a good time, or at
| |
| − | least ensuring conditions are optimal for good-timehaving.
| |
| − | Not every party is under the jurisdiction of
| |

| |
| − | World are entrusted to their care.

| + | # '''[[Barrier Powers (FiD)|Barrier]]''' |
| − | quo, and established princesses with perhaps too much

| + | # '''[[Earth Powers (FiD)|Earth]]''' |
| − | particular the unchecked killing of monsters and

| − | consideration, but like many of the factions they get a
| + | # '''[[Flux Powers (FiD)|Flux]]''' |
| − | bit too intense about the things they care about. You

| − | === Kingdom Defenders [KDEF] === | + | |valign=top| |
| − | (Tier IV Faction)
| |
| − | The overprotective big sister princesses, the bossy nosy
| |
| − | caring girls. KDEF princesses have a tough and often
| |
| − | thankless job, defending kingdoms from whatever
| |
| − | threatens them, so you could maybe forgive them for
| |
| − | being a bit uptight and strict about things. They do
| |
| − | care. Their hearts are in the right place. They could just
| |
| − | stand to be a teensy bit more relaxed about things.
| |
| | | | |
| − | === Scarred Hearts [SCAR] ===
| + | '''Crew Playbooks |
| − | (Tier III Faction) | + | # '''[[Cabal (FiD)|Cabal]]''' |
| − | Cynical princesses bearing multiple heart scars, often
| + | # '''[[Cartel (FiD)|Cartel]]''' |
| − | forced into retirement early. Unique among the factions
| + | # '''[[Cult (FiD)|Cult]]''' |
| − | in that they actively work to reduce the number of new
| + | # '''[[Delvers (FiD)|Delvers ]]''' |
| − | members. Viewed by others with a complex blend of
| + | # '''[[Glimmers (FiD)|Glimmers]]''' |
| − | respect, compassion, and fear, SCAR are a cautionary
| + | # '''[[Manhunters (FiD)|Manhunters]]''' |
| − | tale, a reminder of the cost princessing (especially
| + | # '''[[Soldiers (FiD)|Soldiers]]''' |
| − | frontier princessing) can demand, and occasionally a
| + | # '''[[Travelers (FiD)|Travelers]]''' |
| − | reckoning. When the Scarred Hearts decide something
| + | # '''[[Troupe (FiD)|Troupe]]''' |
| − | has to happen, or more often has to stop, they are very
| + | # '''[[Wardens (FiD)|Wardens]]''' |
| − | difficult to ignore.

| − | (Tier I Faction)
| + | Yes, this is still [[User:Starfox|Starfox]]. |
| − | Relatively new faction comprised of mystery-loving
| + | * '''Fumble''' If you have to select a die result of one, this is a fumble and worse than an outright failure. This is not always relevant depending on the situation, but can be compared to a critical success, except it is the opposition that scores the critical. Page 7. |

| + | * '''To Resist or Not Resist''' When you make a resistance roll and find the amount of stress lost unacceptable, you can chose to not resist, take the consequence, and suffer only 1 stress. Page 32. |
| − | the mysteries they solve themselves, unconsciously | + | * '''Irresistible Plot''' Sometimes a consequence might be a hidden plot development. These may not be resistible, and might even be kept secret. Page 32. |
| − | using their reality-altering princess powers to manifest
| + | * '''Hunting Ground''' is not used. Page 93. |
| − | bizarre circumstances and unlikely coincidences.
| + | * '''Training''' Training facilities allows training inside the lair, avoiding dependency on exterior facilities. There is no benefit other than security. Page 94. |
| − | There's been some research in this phenomenon, but
| + | * '''Not as Bad as it Looks''' At the end of a score, all player characters reduce all harm by one level. Page 155. |
| − | for some reason the researchers always end up
| |
| − | embroiled in some twisted mystery or convoluted
| |
| − | conspiracy before they can come to any conclusions.

| − | === Wandering Stars [STAR] === | + | == Related == |
| − | (Tier III Faction) | + | * [[Die Probabilities (FiD)|Die Probabilities]] |
| − | Wild and crazy princesses who travel around in their
| + | * [[Kit and Tiers (FiD)|Kit and Tiers]] |
| − | moving castles, plunging deep into the wild lands,
| |
| − | battling powerful elementals, and calming huge
| |
| − | destructive wild surges before they can erupt. Not often
| |
| − | welcome at the more civilised type of princess party,
| |
| − | but without them things would be even wilder and less
| |
| − | stable than they are now. They don't get a lot of credit
| |
| − | (people who specialise in preventing disasters rarely do; | |
| − | after all, the best case scenario is 'nothing happened')
| |
| − | but a Wandering Star isn't in it for fame or riches or
| |
| − | recognition. They know they're making a difference.
| |
| − | Also they get to travel into the really WILD parts of
| |
| − | the wild lands. Wandering Stars see things that most
| |
| − | princesses, even in this

| − | === Luxury Seekers [LUX] === | + | == Campaigns == |
| − | (Tier I Faction) | + | * [https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/18178429/liberate-highport Liberate Highport!] |
| − | Notoriously laid-back faction filled with princesses
| + | * [[Princess World—Frontier Kingdoms (FiD)|Princess World—Frontier Kingdoms]]—[https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/16963058/princess-kingdoms Roll20] |
| − | who are principally concerned with exploring all of the
| + | * [https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/17096450/duskvol-darkness Duskvol Darkness] a conventional BitD campaign |
| − | many and glorious possibilities of living in a world
| |
| − | where anything's possible, although they mostly do this by lounging about enjoying the seventh morning tea of
| |
| − | the day and discussing whether or not it's too early to
| |
| − | start afternoon tea.
| |
| − | Rumours of this faction having hidden depths are
| |
| − | easily dismissed. I mean just look at them. They've got
| |
| − | the depth of a pancake.
| |
| | | | |
| − | === Universal Librarians [UNL] === | + | == Projects == |
| − | (Tier III Faction) | + | * [[Quirks (FiD)|Quirks]] |
| − | Quietly competent princesses with a well-earned
| |
| − | reputation for sensibility. Librarians seek out rogue
| |
| − | libraries in the wild lands, in order to snatch lost
| |
| − | knowledge from within. Very concerned with the
| |
| − | proper archival and protection of information.

| | | | |
| − | | + | == External Links == |
| − | === Brave New Lands [LAND] === | + | * [https://www.worldanvil.com/w/greyhawk-datiga/map/0e253c8b-9b56-454c-b940-ca0eb99203b8 Interactive City of Greyhawk Map] |
| − | (Tier III Faction)
| + | * [https://randomtablesrpg.com/fantasy/100-random-dnd-city-encounter-tables-for-low-level-players-who-need-help/ 100 Random City Encounters] |
| − | Cautious princesses who advocate for moderation in all
| |
| − | things, except moderation itself. Not very exciting but
| |
| − | exceptionally organised, and responsible for a lot of
| |
| − | sensible studies into practical matters that lead to
| |
| − | genuine progression. Eventually. Very eventually.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Hunter Guild [HUG] ===
| |
| − | (Tier III Faction)
| |
| − | Sporty princesses who enjoy outdoor activities,
| |
| − | especially if said activities at some point involve a jolly
| |
| − | stirring fight with a few dozen giant spiders, or a
| |
| − | dragon, or a nice big juicy elemental. As the old saying
| |
| − | goes, "If you got monsters and you don't want
| |
| − | monsters, Hunter Guild."
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Sparkle Union [SUN] ===
| |
| − | (Tier I Faction)
| |
| − | Broad faction made up of independent princesses, most
| |
| − | of whom can't be having with all of this faction
| |
| − | nonsense. The Sparkle Union leans towards casual
| |
| − | rather than formal organisation and wield very little
| |
| − | political power, mostly because trying to get a bunch of
| |
| − | independent princesses all on the same page is more
| |
| − | difficult than herding cats. Still, SUN enjoys a large
| |
| − | diverse membership and has a philosophy of good faith
| |
| − | solidarity; if a Sparkle Union princess is in trouble then
| |
| − | she'll find every other nearby SUN princess at her side.
| |
| − | How useful they turn out to be is always a roll of the
| |
| − | dice, but at least they'll be there.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | === Silver Masks [MASK] ===
| |
| − | (Tier V Faction)
| |
| − | The fightiest of princesses, the really scarily powerful
| |
| − | ones. They wear silver masks and favour simple
| |
| − | clothing, such as white cloaks with a subtle shimmer.
| |
| − | Not much for parties. Not much for princess politics.
| |
| − | But very much the princesses you want on your side,
| |
| − | when fighting is the answer to a problem.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Nowhere [????] ===
| |
| − | (Tier IV Faction)
| |
| − | Nowhere is a faction of spies and special operations
| |
| − | princesses that does not exist. They don't engage in
| |
| − | clandestine operations for the good of Princess World,
| |
| − | definitely do not cultivate relationships with the more
| |
| − | talkative varieties of monsters, and certainly don't
| |
| − | associate with similarly non-existent rebel princesses.
| |
| − | All in all, a real headache to deal with. Fortunately
| |
| − | you'll never have to worry about that, because as has
| |
| − | been firmly established Nowhere does not exist.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Scientific Promotion Society [SCI] ===
| |
| − | (Tier IV Faction)
| |
| − | The smartest girls in the room, the nerdy brainy
| |
| − | curious princesses. Very interested in investigating the
| |
| − | many mysteries of this Princess World, although their
| |
| − | critics might point out that these investigations often
| |
| − | involve quite a lot of explosions. All part of the price of
| |
| − | progress, say the SCI girls.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Royal Architects [RARC] ===
| |
| − | (Tier IV Faction)
| |
| − | The construction princesses, the calm capable builder
| |
| − | girls. Mostly responsible for the creation and
| |
| − | maintenance of buildings within the known kingdoms.
| |
| − | Very big on doing things once and doing them right.
| |
| − | Get a bit tetchy about makeshift work, or rushed jobs,
| |
| − | or temporary jury-rigged okay-for-now solutions that
| |
| − | become permanent because it's just easier not to think
| |
| − | about that particular thing, when we've got a dozen
| |
| − | other more important things to think about right at the
| |
| − | minute, and also always.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === The Circle [O] ===
| |
| − | (Tier VI Faction)
| |
| − | The big bosses, the princesses in charge. The Circle
| |
| − | rule from the First Palace, right in the middle of the
| |
| − | inner kingdoms. They make all the really big decisions
| |
| − | about Princess World, although most princesses have
| |
| − | never even met a Circle representative. If they get
| |
| − | involved with a frontier kingdom, out there on the
| |
| − | border, so very far removed from the concerns of the
| |
| − | inner kingdoms, then something must be going really
| |
| − | wrong.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Scientific Promotion Society [SCI] ===
| |
| − | (Tier IV Faction)
| |
| − | The smartest girls in the room, the nerdy brainy
| |
| − | curious princesses. Very interested in investigating the
| |
| − | many mysteries of this Princess World, although their
| |
| − | critics might point out that these investigations often
| |
| − | involve quite a lot of explosions. All part of the price of
| |
| − | progress, say the SCI girls.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Strongwall Group [WALL] ===
| |
| − | (Tier III Faction)
| |
| − | Very serious princesses who just can't be having with
| |
| − | all the nonsense going on in this Princess World. They
| |
| − | advocate for consolidation rather than expansion and
| |
| − | believe that tighter regulations would help curb all of
| |
| − | these wild surges and collapsing kingdoms and so
| |
| − | forth, out on the border.
| |
| − | They often make valid points, but have absolutely no
| |
| − | sense of humour.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Guidance Collective [GUCO] ===
| |
| − | (Tier II Faction)
| |
| − | Very concerned with princess-fairy relations, making
| |
| − | sure fairies aren't being mistreated and also behaving
| |
| − | properly and just generally that everyone's being lovely.
| |
| − | Given that most princesses have a deep and
| |
| − | untouchable respect for fairies, and that most fairies
| |
| − | would sooner give up their wings than mess with a
| |
| − | princess's biz, GUCO princesses mostly go around
| |
| − | checking that everyone's behaving and then being
| |
| − | really pleased when that's the case.
| |
| − | They can be pretty scary in the rare cases when
| |
| − | someone isn't behaving, though. The power and fury of
| |
| − | their disappointment can be unnerving to behold.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Nice Monsters [NIMO] ===
| |
| − | (Tier 0 Faction)
| |
| − | Apparently an official faction, although who knows
| |
| − | when or how it was approved. In any case NIMO
| |
| − | appears to be dedicated to furthering the cause of socalled
| |
| − | 'nice monsters', if such a thing could even be said
| |
| − | to exist. Still, stranger things have happened, in this
| |
| − | world we call Princess.
