Escape your captors…and endure your rescuers, but don't be late to the ball! When you are kidnapped, you must take charge of your rescue, and reclaim your rightful throne. "Kidnapped!

Wield swords, magic, or fight with your wits and grace. If all else fails, pummel your enemies with a chamberpot tied to a stick. Play as male, female, or nonbinary, gay, straight, bisexual, or asexual Act like a damsel in distress (or an imperiled person) and let your rescuers do the work, or grab a sword and fight your own battles. Unravel the conspiracy behind your abduction and thwart your scheming siblings. Side with the aristocrats, or join a peasant rebellion. Gain stature to prove that you are the one true Heir. Harness fairy magic to bewilder and defeat your foes! Disguise yourself as an Elder Vampire, st…
