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.
