Trophy Dark - Regicide

About this episode

The episode explores a dark fantasy narrative involving a prince and sellswords attempting to breach a castle amidst a revolution.

This episode will include themes and scenes of Violence, Death, Torture, Racism, Slavery, Political Upheaval, Political Trauma, Emotional Trauma, Familial Trauma, Body Horror, Cruelty to Animals, Blood Sacrifice, Sexuality, and Incest (by an NPC). Listener discretion is advised. Revolution strikes the kingdom. As the common folk storm the massive grounds of the castle, three people stand near a side door. A spare prince, broken and transformed into something approaching a sacrificial lamb, has hired two sellswords. He wants to get into the castle to get something to help change him back. His compatriots have their own reasons for wanting to breach the castle on their own. But if these royals are monstrous enough to do awful things to one of their own children, what fresh hells are in the grounds and in the castle itself...? Regicide is an incursion for Trophy Dark written by Ludovico Alves, and is available in the core book for Trophy Dark. It is available for PDF on DriveThruRPG, and physically through Studio 2.
