Glaze of Blory
A downloadable game
Hwæt!
The Kingdom of Bloria is in a bit of a bind. As the world's greatest producer of questing knights, it has a sterling reputation as a land of adventure, riches and feats worthy of song. The thing is, there aren't enough squires to go around. Worse, the ones that are available are absolutely horrible.
In Glaze of Blory, you and your fellow players take on the role of squires attempting to prove themselves the best in the business by keeping their own knight alive from quest to quest while ensuring everyone else's knight meets a sudden and preferably gruesome end.
Chivalry might not be dead, but someone's bound to be before the end.
This is a streamlined and very silly RPG for two or more players. The rulebook contains all the information you'll need to run the game - aside from that, you only need some paper, a few pens and some six-sided dice.

Tried this game with a couple of friends, tasked with rescuing a kidnapped princess from a castle in the Ransom Duchy, and while it took them a little while to shift gears out of D&D and get into Mayhem Mode, they were definitely starting to get it by the time one squire coaxed his Archery 1 knight into shooting blindly into a melee, then botched the emergency surgery on the other knight. Everyone had a ton of fun, and it was really helpful that the worldbuilding is exactly wacky enough that I could make the twist at the end "the lady of the castle is actually the princess's girlfriend and the kidnapping is basically an elaborate form of roleplay" and have it not feel out of place.
Just ran this with three friends. It was the must fun and the loudest laughter we've ever had playing a ttrpg. Also my first time DMing, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.
Top notch stuff right here. This will likely become a regular on the one shot list. Well done.
John-Henry sent me here! Glad I came... but are you?
love the sound of this!
Super excited for this game! I'm going to try and get a discord game going with some friends asap while we're all cooped up. It's a beam of silly sunshine right now.
Thanks for this Johnny - this period of isolation has meant I've been able to reconnect with some online friends for the first time in a while, and most of them practically leaped out of their seats with excitement when I showed this to them. Really looking forward to giving it a go.
Please let me know how it goes!
