Green Ronin’s Blue Rose is a tabletop inspired by authors like Mercedes Lackey, Diane Duane and Tamora Pierce and one of romantic fantasy. Characters are envoys, keeping the peace through diplomacy and solving problems as much as, if not more, than by swiping metal blades at things.
The romance here doesn’t necessarily mean love and courting. In an old Gizmodo interview, co-designer Steven Kenson explained;
Romantic’ refers to a style and a point of view that’s generally positive, hopeful, and cooperative. Good people can make a difference, true love can and does win in the end, we can make the world better, people of good conscience can work together (and even disagree) but still coexist peacefully, and, ultimately, there is good in the world and it’s something worth fighting for. That romance often includes interpersonal relationships, from boon comrades to passionate love, and such things are both the reasons why characters take action and the rewards they receive for their efforts.”
