I'm on session 15 playing this with a group of three men in our fifties and sixties. It has worked splendidly, buy I have introduced some new princess powers. I made a log, here it is.
Campaign Summary: Princess World - Frontier Kingdoms - Qtopia Kingdom
In the vast marshlands reminiscent of Ankor Wat, a new kingdom flourishes under the leadership of three remarkable princesses: Claire, Princess of Chains; Nagalila, the Boa Princess; and Clover, the Bunny Princess. Together, they embark on a quest to unlock the secrets of ancient magic, aided by a group of Victorian-inspired explorers. With each episode, they draw closer to unlocking the ancient magic that lies buried beneath the marshlands, their journey filled with excitement, danger, and the promise of discovery.
Episode 1: The Genesis of Qtopia
The inaugural episode sees our heroines exploring the terrain of their newfound kingdom, officially naming the kingdom Qtopia. They establish a camp, with white tents and cozy furnishings befitting a royal retreat. As they gather around a campfire, exchanging stories and dreams, they are interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a delegation from the prestigious Princess Academy. Led by the wise but formidable Granny Poppy, Princess of Knitting, these young princesses bring humor and chaos to the camp, unwittingly leaving behind one of their own, the spirited Princess Lila.
The interactions between the princesses are lighthearted and endearing, showcasing their diverse personalities and forging bonds of friendship in the wild jungle. Granny Poppy regales them with tales of her adventures and imparts valuable lessons in leadership and resilience. Meanwhile, Princess Lila, eager to prove herself, embarks on a mischievous escapade that leads her into the heart of the ruins, where she encounters a curious creature with glowing eyes—a harbinger of the magical mysteries awaiting our heroines.
Episode 2: Elemental Encounters
Venturing deeper into the lush jungle, our princesses heed the guidance of their explorer minions, following rumors of a hidden source of ancient magic. Their journey leads them to a secluded clearing where a mysterious pillar of light pierces through the dense canopy, illuminating the surrounding foliage with an ethereal glow. Sensing the presence of something otherworldly, our heroines cautiously approach, only to discover a gaping pit shrouded in shadows.
With trepidation and curiosity intertwining, they descend into the depths, blinded by the beam of light emanating from below. Within the cavernous chamber, they encounter a fearsome elemental creature, its form a swirling vortex of elemental energy—earth, water, air, and fire converging in a mesmerizing dance of power and chaos. Undaunted by the creature's formidable presence, our heroines muster their courage and unleash a coordinated assault, exploiting its elemental weaknesses and harnessing the power of their unity. Clover, the Bunny Princess, distracts the monster, Claire, Princess of Chains, secures a glowing floor tile that is the source of the pillar of light, and Nagalila, the Boa Princess, helps the other two escape.
Through cunning teamwork and unwavering determination, they emerge victorious, the elemental fooled and the chamber bathed in a soft, golden light. Amidst the remnants of their battle, they discover that the floor tile is a curious artifact—an intricately carved stone plate an inch thick and ten inches to a side (2 x 25 x 25 cm), pulsating with yellow light. With a sense of triumph and trepidation, they pocket the artifact, its significance shrouded in mystery yet to be unveiled.
