ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
All is fair in love and war, and nowhere is that more true than in the Golden Ring of the Global Wrestling Group! On camera, the wrestlers battle for fame and the title; behind the scenes, they struggle for recognition and romance. Less than a year out from their humble beginnings, it will take everyone from the wrestlers to the crew to the crowds to make the GWG a success. This relatively new series has gained a solid following for its depictions of dual roles and identities been leading up to the biggest event of the season, the GWG's first championship title match! But the real drama isn't over the match - a surprise injury took out the company's biggest face last episode and left a gap in the title card. It's a huge setback for the budding org, and a huge opportunity for those bold enough to capitalize on it.

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—a telenovela called, of course, Pasión de las Pasiones. You won’t be playing the actors, directors, or camera crew; instead, you’ll be playing a scheming and dangerous character like El Gemelo, or you’ll be playing an innocent character, striving for love, like La Empleada. You’ll play through stories with dramatic reveals, explosive confrontations, evil twins, and more! Pasión de las Pasiones is a Powered by the Apocalypse game, drawing on game techniques and mechanics from games like Apocalypse World, Monsterhearts, and Masks: A New Generation. When your character takes an action that fits a move, the move tells you what happens in the story or you roll two six-sided dice to find out. The moves in Pasión provide their own system geared towards melodrama, excitement, and romance. Pasión de las Pasiones creates stories like those of Marimar, La Usurpadora, or Cuna de Lobos, but you don’t have to be familiar with telenovelas to play and have a great time! The game will ensure that you’re kept on track while creating your own telenovela, a show of such quality that it will go down in the annals of television history!
