Pasiones y Traiciones - The Telenovela Simulator
 |
Welcome to the world of Telenovelas. They might seem like ordinary Soap Operas but let me tell you that Latin-American Soap Operas take things to extremes. Villains are eviler than any old-school Disney villain; plot twists can be so abundant and outrageous that people often cry and scream at their screen out of disbelief; their protagonists usually have the most impressive displays of integrity and determination you can think of.
Telenovelas are a transgenerational phenomenon deeply rooted in Latin-American culture. Their most popular shows also often go overseas to capture the hearts and minds of other cultures as well. After all¸ themes like love and betrayal are universal.
PASIONES Y TRAICIONES is a fun and lighthearted homage to this fantastic cultural product. Presented as a Solo RPG¸ this small book brings tables with familiar names and situations that will help you build the plot and structure of your fictitious Telenovela. It doesn't give you all the answers; as an exercise of imagination and creativity¸ you will need to fill in many blanks and have fun thinking about your next steps to take your protagonist to the final episode.
