Most people think these stories are about sex.

They’re not.

They’re about power.

About control.

About the space between who you are in public… and who you are when no one is watching.

Between Power and Silence — a real BDSM autobiography

The Rule of Pleasure — consent, structured and tested

Druid of the Dragons — ritual, transformation, and purpose through power

These aren’t one-off books.

They’re serialized. Ongoing. Evolving.

Article VI: Fiction Began It

The Rule of Pleasure was a novel.

It asked what would happen if power had architecture.

The Indulgence Trials™ is the answer.

What began as story became system.

Official INDULGENCE TRIALS Handbook by D.R. Agon

Desire with rules. A structured adult system for embodied power play.

The Architecture of Consent

Many adult party games aim to create a single memorable evening.

The Indulgence Trials were designed for something different.

They were designed to create an ongoing system of play, one where consent, structure, and strategy intersect. A game where participants are not simply reacting to chance but actively shaping the experience together.

That philosophy is what ultimately connects the novel The Rule of Pleasure to the real-world framework that followed it.

Stories sometimes imagine systems.

Occasionally those systems decide to exist.

Article III: The Declaration

Before any Trial begins, each participant declares — in writing — what is:

Forbidden. Conditional. Permitted. Preferred.

Nothing is added once desire is in motion.

Structure protects agency. Indulgence must be recorded before it is pursued.
