Squires

Behind every incompetent adventurer is a loyal servant keeping them alive...

It’s the end of another quest with your ridiculous masters.

You’re enjoying a drink at the local tavern with your fellow squires, recounting the journey.

What happened? What did you have to do to keep your masters alive?

Tell your stories, maybe embellish them a little, and have a laugh at their expense.

Squires is a meta-TTRPG where you recount your journey of being a squire for an inept adventurer.

Open up an adventure from any other tabletop roleplaying game and use it for the structure of your story. The mechanics of the adventure don’t matter, so pick any story you like.

Use the mechanics in this pamphlet to see what your adventurer masters do (and how they inevitably fail), then use your skills to intervene and save their lives.

Squires is available to download as a trifold pamphlet in A4 and US letter sizes. A separate page of player sheets is also available.
