After watching for the first time in years The Beauty and the Beast yesterday (I know, bear with me), I realised how much fun there would be in
1- Taking out the childish aspects
2- Finding a nice place within the Warhammer Fantasy universe
3- Twisting it horribly with horror, mutant and Chaos.
4- ??????
5- Profit
But why stop at Beauty and the Beast? How about Snowwhite and the 7 Dwarves? Cinderella? Sleeping Beauty?
Most of our childhood stories are filled with classics that just demand to be raped to death by Slaneesh.
For clarity sake, I would request that if you want to add/comment/argue about other people`s idea, put into spoiler your idea with the concerned tale right above, like that:
Beauty and the Beast
A rich Knight of Bretonnia (well, it IS set in France, after all!) was only driven by the desire to kill more for his personnal glory. One night, an old peasant woman asked to rest at his keep, and he ordered her hanged for her impertinence.
Right when the militamen were about to seize her, she uncloaked herself, and everybody could see that she was tall, slender and beautiful! She looked like a Fey, but... darker. She cursed him on the spot.
"For you know only the pulsion of Khorne in your heart, I say you now take a face worthy of his stupid realm! For now, to be rid of this curse, you will need to Embrace Slaneesh the Lover, and be Embraced in Return!"
The Knight screamed, and fled while ordering his guards to kill the witch...
All of the surviving witnesses of that night ran away immediately while the intruder got gouged in the feasting hall. For afterward, not a single soul got out of the castle. It is rumoured that a Beast hunts this gigantic castle. A Beast horned and powerful. A Beast that desperately needs to one day know passion with a woman, if he ever wants to find his form again.
All intruders who ever got in the castle reports that it is curiously kept very clean. Except for a single pool of blood in the feasting hall, which never dried.
(Now... how do you make players go in? How further can we drive this castle into a realm of madness, in which lives a Slanesh-spawned Creature of Khorne?)
How can the curse be really broken...?
And what happen if it is?
