Medieval Roleplay Plot Suggestion

[Mille_starryNight]

Hey, I am looking for to a roleplay set in the middle ages. I request the reader to post their idea for such a roleplay, including what our characters should be. I will PM the owners of the ideas I like my email so we can continue our RP there as the PM here is slow. Be imaginative and let your mind run rampant.

There are all sorts of possible rp plots.

-Twists on Beauty and the Beast...

-Our Characters stumble into information about a sneak attack... need to stop it or the kingdom will be lost.

-Ship wrecked...

-King send our characters on a suicide mission (think suicide squad only middle ages)

-King sends our characters out to explore an uncharted land...

-There is a war between dragons and humans... our character need to make peace between the two sides

As far as character types... I like to play all sorts. Human (mages, fighters, clerics, etc) or non-human (elves, nymphs, furries, lizard women, naga, centaur, mermaid, etc)

As I'm not certain what your kinks are, here are a couple of stabs in the dark based on history and historical myth.


Executioner's Privilege
Late Middle Ages

A highborn, unmarried woman in a mercantile town somewhere on the European mainland is sentenced to death, but the town executioner (who is also the town skinner and occasional healer but ostracized to the point of being denied citizenship), invokes his one privilege: That of pardoning his victim by marrying her.

The woman is now the wife of the most reviled person in town. Second-most if the townsfolk truly wanted her to be dead.

I see this more of a story of submission and possibly humiliation, but it could also be a story of growing respect between two people. I don't do love stories with people I don't know, but if you like the idea of using this scenario as a basis for a love story, you're welcome to do it with another patner.


Droit de Seigneur/prima nocte
Early Middle Ages

A local lord claims his right to sleep with a peasant woman on the night before her marriage to to another villager. There is some concern over whether he truly has that right, but as his power is complete in this remote fief, none can really stand up to him

The most obvious way to play this is to have one person play the lord and one person play the maiden, but the story could also focus on the bride and groom-to-be trying to get away, or even involve several players exploring the reaction of the serfs and local clergy.


John Dancaster
France, 1352 during the Hundred Years War
A charming rogue takes it upon himself to seduce his way into Guines, a French castle, and manages to conquer it with hardly any bloodshed (but lots of fucking).

But the English king has signed a peace treaty with the French, and refuses to take possession of the castle, leaving the rogue in charge of a castle at war with both sides.

The historical Dancaster escaped prison because a washerwoman took pity on him, and returned with a small mercenary army taking advantage of the escape route she had shown him. But the rogue of our story could seduce anyone within the castle, or any number of them.

The Middle Ages is an incredibly fascinating time period (albeit IRL extremely nasty and brutal..) and there's so much scope there!

How about... 1241. Mongol cavalry sweeps into the Slavic kingdoms of Hungary, Poland and Croatia. A detachment of the fearsome horse archers skirmishes with, and defeats, a group of knights, and find that what they have been guarding is not gold or treasure but some beautiful young women - maybe the daughter of a major noble and her handmaidens. The leader, realizing their value, brings them east to the encampment on the Hungarian steppe where the famed commander Subutai holds court. From there all sorts of adventures and travels could happen...
