Courtesans: A roleplaying game of sex and society
A roleplaying game set in Victorian Demi Monde¸ where the player characters are society prostitutes who compete for money and influence in their circles while sharing a house. Character creation begins by choosing a class-like ""origin"" - including Actresses¸ Professionals¸ Fallen Ladies¸ Goldenhearts¸ Schemers and Upstarts. During a session¸ or season¸ Courtesans procure admirers¸ complete actions such as conversation¸ sex and spying¸ then attend the Cyprian Ball. The characters collect five categories of experience: Legend¸ Reputation¸ Wealth¸ Influence¸ and Scandal. It uses a variant of the ""Beer and Crisps"" mechanics from the Urban Faerie and Tough Justice games¸ though there is no combat system. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.
