Re: [Adult Game] Courtesans?
It is more lethal, though it is a pretty fun read. Basically if Courestans are quasi-respectable and potentially even powerful and rich, Doxies are common street harlots. Basically every character is some varation on the Upstart archetype from Courtesans (though they can have a lot of varierty in there.)
Doxy is very strongly set in the Georgian era of the 18th and early 19th century, probably more throughly even than Courtesans since it has rules for fighting, pickpocketing, etc. All the things that would lead to the gallows!
