Description

Fidelity – love – Temptation

A group of friends get together and secret loves and passions erupt. Partners and lovers have to face up to their fears and jealousies as they find that time has taken its toll on their relationships. Passions rage and lovers see whether their relationships will last or crumble under the pressures of temptation over a potential new love.

A scenario with pre-game character creation/workshopping. An opportunity to create characters that are “close to home”, incorporating real world issues of relevance to the player. Some players will be paired in a relationship, others will be single, and “new flames” are randomly selected. Characters test and examine their relationships and lives.

Queer, trans and polyamorous friendly.

I Under my Skin kommer begreber som passion, troskab og hemmelige forelskelser under kærlig behandling, da en gruppe venner, bestående af både fasttømrede par og singler, mødes. Hverdagen har slidt på de eksisterende parforhold og nye spirende forelskelser ser dagens lys og både partnere og elskere må se deres frygt og jalousi i øjnene. Passionerne raser og forholdene må briste eller bære under presset. Deltagerne i dette scenarie får muligheden for at få forskellige fortolkninger af kærlighed og parforhold ind under huden.
Scenariet kræver ingen forberedelse for spilleren, men til gengæld en hvis modenhed.
