History Fanfic / YourPrinceIsInAnotherCastle

In it, Kimihito and the myriad Monster girls who live in his home stumble across an old manual for a game he used to play, the exciting fantasy adventure of "Catacombs and Chimeras" and decide to pass an afternoon or two playing it themselves. As dice roll and random encounters begin, they're off on a quest to save their beloved Prince from the Forces of Evil.

!!''Your Prince is in Another Castle'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Catacombs and Chimeras, of course. Also, there’s at least one mention of ‘Lovely Liminal Ladies’

* AuthorAppeal: An avid gamer in his youth, and one who also played with his family, many of Kimihito's actions and quirks are a reflection of the writers own.

* {{BFS}}: Paladin’s Two-Handed Great Sword. Also to a lesser extent, the Fighter’s Bastard Sword.
* CombatMedic: Cerea's Paladin, and to a lesser extent Rachnera's Cleric, who leans more towards Medic than Combat but kicks her own fair share of ass as well.

* DumpStat: Averted, all the girls work hard to ensure they have high Charisma despite it being virtually worthless to dungeon crawlers. Likely influenced by their attempt to seem desirable to the Catacombs Master and by extent his {{NPC}}s.

* FighterMageThief: Averted. The group doesn't bring a single thief along, which leads to problems when they start to encounter traps.
* GameMaster: Catacombs Master, in this case. Kimihito takes the role so the girls can play as adventurers, though it helps at the start of the story he’s the only one who knows the rules.

* MagicWand.

* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Mostly played straight, but the one time they need a thief type to find and disarm traps, they find themselves without one to do it. They end up TakingAThirdOption.

* SpecialSnowflakeSyndrome: Somewhat, since Miia, Papi and Cerea all ask for nonstandard character races to play that match their real-life counterparts. Also discussed with regards to the drow and their penchant for heroic members. Rachnera doesn't really act all that heroic herself, but she is on the parties side (most of the time) and doesn't immediately sacrifice them to her spider deity in-game, so there’s that.
* SupportPartyMember: Mero, both by her class being bard, and her personality being hardcore role player, doesn't get directly involved in many fights.
* SquishyWizard: Papi. Averted with Suu, who despite being a slime she plays a human druid whose shapeshifting allows her to fight on even terms with the fighters of the group.
* TitleDrop: At the end of Chapter Six.
* TheGMIsACheatingBastard: Albeit on the players side. Kimihito deliberately fudges die rolls and sets encounters on an Easy Mode for the girls so they have a good time.

* WritingAroundTrademarks: Catacombs and Chimeras is an obvious homage to TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons. WordOfGod is that it was partially to avoid trademark infringement, but equally PlayedForLaughs and to allow more creative use of common gaming themes, not having to adhere to a strict ruleset from an established game. The author also says it allowed him to make use of a monster that, in the setting of Monster Musume, was highly unlikely to actually make an appearance as a CuteMonsterGirl.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Not just the [[TitleDrop name of the story]] (albeit [[GenderBender gender-flipped]]) but also employed halfway through, when the girls find their Prince is indeed in another location ([[spoiler:high tower instead of the underground dungeon]]) and they have to fight their way to him (again).

-----

* [[DungeonCrawling Catacomb Crawling]].
* [[DungeonMastersGirlfriend Catacomb Masters Girlfriend]]: Well, more like housemates, but Kimihito clearly does all he can to keep the girls happy, knowing full well they'd take it out on him if he doesn't. And they do all live together.

* ExperiencePoints.

** [[TheRealMan The Real WoMan]]: Miia, arguably Papi.

* [[TheGMIsACheatingBastard The CM Is A Cheating Bastard]]: Albeit on the players side. Kimihito deliberately fudges die rolls and sets encounters on an Easy Mode for the girls so they have a good time.
