You do not need any experience or knowledge of telenovelas or soap operas to play, though it doesn't hurt! Just come prepared to lean hard into the shenanigans and escalate the drama! While we are using the same playset as the other session this month, player choices and input will shape the actual game - feel free to play in both with the same or different character!

2 seats in every guild one-shot are reserved for the monthly supporter lottery. You may see players in a game's attendee list before guild-wide RSVPs open.

Please scroll all the way down for any and all information, including age restrictions, what kind of experience is needed (if any), what to bring, content warnings, and more!

PRICING

• It is $10/per player to play this game at Groundswell Startups.
• It is $8/per player if you are a paid monthly supporter of the Guild (via our Ko-Fi or Patreon).

ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
La Academia de Yaguez is special. A school devoted to helping "las alteradas," people with special powers and requirements. A home for these unique individuals, where they share what they have learned and band together to make a difference. And a place of rivalry, rage, and romance. This perfect manor, with its elegantly laid out gardens and fountain, its beautiful facade, and its picturesque nearby forest, holds secrets and conflicts galore within its walls. Hidden passages reveal new chambers—perfect for trysts or for experiments, alike. A simple gymnasium becomes a training chamber for a team of battle-hardened heroes... and a great way to vent frustrations. The faculty members of this Academia are their own greatest allies, and their own bitterest enemies.

It is among this place of science, of power, of beauty, and of simmering tension that our story unfolds, the secrets kept by the building itself standing as nothing against the secrets within the burning hearts of these heroes..

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Pasión de las Pasiones is a game of passion, drama, secrets, delights, and heated conflict. In Pasión de las Pasiones, you and your friends will play out the stories of the greatest telenovela ever to air! You won’t be playing the actors, directors, or camera crew; instead, you’ll be playing characters like El Gemelo, scheming and dangerous, or like La Empleada, innocent character and striving for love. You’ll play through stories with dramatic reveals, explosive confrontations, faked deaths, and more!
