EvilEmpryss Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 This isn't every gamer's cup of tea, but I found it very interesting. Two books by Eleanor Herman: "Sex With Kings" and "Sex With Queens". The books detail 500 years' worth of infighting and backstabbing created when sex and politics combine. One examines things from the angle of a king and his mistresses, the other takes things from the queen and her lovers' point of view. At the very least they're very entertaining reading with good research to back it up. It wouldn't take a lot of work, though, to adapt the scenarios to a fantasy world. It would certainly add some depth and color to a lackluster court setting and provide plenty of motivation for knights and ladies to go adventuring!

Curufea Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Re: Source of Political Intrigue for Your Game Sounds great actually - I love games centred on political intrigue - that's when social networks and character development really shine.
