Line 4:
''A Dance with Rogues'' is based around the ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' rogue class. It's notable for being [[Darker and Edgier]] as well as as [[Hotter and Sexier]] than the original ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' campaign, with an original storyline that has been highly praised. The module is epic in scope, taking a character from 1st level to 17th-19th level.
The story starts with a war between the Kingdom of Betancuria and the nation of Dhorn. The player character is the princess of Betancuria, and in the opening scene her family is slaughtered, her mother commits suicide, [[Rape as Drama|she herself is raped]], and her kingdom is conquered.
The now ex-princess is "adopted" by a thieves' guild, and to survive she must now learn how to be a rogue, from picking locks to using her sexuality as a weapon. As she works her way up the ranks of the guild and becomes settled in her new life, the princess soon becomes entangled in a shadow war for control over Betancuria's criminal underworld.

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Part of the Princess' lessons is survive traversing through the multi-part sewers. In fact, the Sewer Area Rapid Transit (SART) is the best way to travel across the sections of Betancuria in the least time possible.
Line 69:
* [[How the Mighty Have Fallen]]: The premise of the entire story.
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: In Christano's sidequest, you're a hireling. You've also got a lot more brains in your head than Christano and his girlfriend together, and they're [[Only Sane Employee|holding you responsible for the success of the mission and for each other's safety]]. Fortunately, they do know how to take orders (or at least to stay back while you scout ahead in stealth mode and disarm traps) and can fight effectively enough.
* [[I Fought the Law and
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Used many, ''many'' times throughout the story. Even during the prologue.
* [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]]: So very much...
Line 91:
* [[Made a Slave]]: The Princess, Bran, Pia and Vico after being captured in the Underdark.
* [[Male Gaze]]: Almost all male citizens (and guards) will have a special interest on the Princess' prominent bust and bottom.
* [[Making Love in All the Wrong Places]]: If the Princess and Vico are in a relationship. In fact, the Princess herself can ask Vico for a "session" almost about ''anywhere'' when he tags along. Other relationships can only have chaste kisses every now and then, and the intimate moments are done in secluded areas.
** The most glaring example is when Vico asks the Princess to make love to him after they win almost a nigh endless battle with the undead and a dracolich. They actually have sex on the stone-cold open grounds of the Underdark. And they do it ''in front of Anden and Pia'', who both react in disgust.
* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]
Line 132:
* [[Surprise Pregnancy]]: {{spoiler|The Princess. It only happens if she took Vico along for the remainder of the game.}}
* [[There Is Only One Bed]]: The Princess and Pia.
* [[Took a Level
** A Rogue/Assassin/Blackguard build is optimal for an evil princess, being able to equip any armor or shield and almost all basic weaponry. The highlight is that the sneak attacks from ''both'' Rogue and Blackguard as well as the Assassin death attacks ''add up'' for malevolent combined damage.
* [[Taking You with Me]]: One of the Princess's options at the end is to commit suicide, and at the same time take down a looot of people in Dhorn as well...
* [[Third
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: The people whom the Princess aids during the story all show very, ''very'' little gratitude for her help. One such moment that stands out is when she actually brings {{spoiler|Baron Ravenstower}} ''back from the dead'' after he was murdered by his court wizard.
* [[Useless Useful Stealth]]: Averted; very little XP is given for [[RPGs Equal Combat|killing enemies]], while a very generous amount is given for progressing the story, finishing quests, and disarming and unlocking traps and locks.
