4. Charm
4. An enjoyable moment of charm gone right or wrong?
There’s nothing like a Fancy Party Episode or other large social event to get people more dressed up than usual and being noticed in unexpected ways.
I have them occasionally in a lot of my games. Sometimes it brings the drama as relationships shift, and often it brings the funny as there’s a misunderstanding or somebody gets flustered.
“Do we get dressed up?”
“Of course.”
“I’m in.”
Angel 3.13 Waiting In The Wings
Which is a Fancy Party Episode which does indeed shift several cast relationships
Of course they’re a sometimes food. Pride And Prejudice has people writing letters and visiting each other’s houses as well as some fancy party chapters. ;) (Comics creator Trung Le Nguyen provides helpful and often hilarious commentary over one of the biggest Bluesky threads I’ve ever seen, collected here in 135 pages.)
Big social events are also good for changing the status quo, introducing new characters, having enemies meet in a situation where they shouldn’t start a fight, and more.
(Lots of NPCs can get hard to track. In some games use a map and tokens for scenes like this more than for combat.)
William and Charlotte got together in The Watch House in the middle of some other adventure when she pointed out they were while he hadn’t quite gotten around to asking her out. That can happen too.
