The Fools Who Follow

An ancient prophecy foretold the coming of the Chosen One, who would vanquish the Dark Lord and restore peace to the land. What it failed to predict was that the Chosen One is a vain and lazy imbecile, with no interest in pursuing his destiny (unless it leads him into a tavern or brothel).

However, the fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance, and the prophecy was very clear. One way or another, the Chosen One must fulfill his destiny, even if you have to carry him to the Dark Lord’s castle in a sack. So buckle up, brave companions—you’ve got a long journey ahead!

The Fools Who Follow is a humorous standalone scenario for the Tricube Tales system and is usable as a micro-setting, but it is also a fully self-contained one-page RPG in its own right. You can print it on a single sheet of paper: The first page includes everything you need to play, while an optional second page expands the adventure generator with examples and twists. The PDF uses layers for ease of printing.

The original version of this game used a more streamlined version of the rules, and it is still available as a separate download.

This free tabletop roleplaying game was created for the One-Page RPG Jam 2020.
