Golden Chalice

This game is a completed beta copy. Version ten is the final cut of the game before the very long process of total commercial overhaul. Every feature, art and component is included as intended.

The rule book is included, though it is a little bit dry in the appearance.

Welcome to Golden Chalice,

an 8 player smash-em-up full of fun and interesting ways to look at the standard tropes of your classic RPG adventure.

8 gods have selected 1 champion each, and challenged them with a task designed to test their mettle. Enter the tavern built for this challenge, and seek out the cup while avoiding other champions, and the local law enforcement. Leave the tavern with the cup, or as the last champion alive to be rewarded!

This is a game that should appeal to fantasy roleplayers, and maybe a few other folks as well. the gameplay is simple, using dice as a buffer and a luck element to add the spice of frustration, and intense comebacks.

The play-area is designed by the players at the start of each game, and the game self populates, and expands after each round ends. Use the various rooms to build interesting structures, or complete torture chambers. Each player has a hand in the construction.

The game increases in size as the player count rises, and game length increases as well to give more players a chance to recover from losing streaks. You could also ignore this part entirely and build a tavern entirely for fun just to see how it would play out.

Players use combinations of their character's role and heritage to build interesting champions that will romp and riot their way through the tavern they have designed. Try to build a tavern that suits your play style and you should have a good time!

Quests are drawn at the start of the round, and can change small but simple details about the tavern. NPCs help liven the game up, and Dragons come to burn the place down. Events add a spice of random adventure tropes to the game while being predictable in some way, as you will know which events are about to occur!

If players really want to fight, they can roll some dice and get into Duels. You can't refuse a duel, but you can certainly run away after it starts!
