Paladads and Dragons

You are a holy knight of the Femme in the Moon. Ordinarily, you would be going out on epic quests to defeat evil, leaving passionate but doomed romances in your wake. But now, something has disrupted your adventures. Your last affair wasn’t with a beautiful buff butch princess, as you thought – she was actually a beautiful buff butch dragon taking human form. And now she’s off on her own adventure, and has left you with two rambunctious young wyrmlings to care for. Can you – and the dragon-kids – survive until she returns?

This is a tabletop roleplaying game for three or four players, plus an optional gamemaster (GM). The GM plays the non-player characters, describes scenes, narrates complications on failed rolls, and adjudicates the rules; if there is no GM, these tasks are shared by all the players. Two players take the roles of the wyrmlings, who seek to have fun and cause trouble for the paladad(s). One player (or two, if there are four players) takes the role of the beleaguered paladad(s), who must put their mismatched skills as a holy knight to work as a babysitter for the first time in their life. Along the way, some complication will arise that puts both the wyrmlings and the paladad(s) in danger.

Note: “Paladad” is a word I made up for the sake of the (not terribly clever) pun. The term is not meant to be gendered. Nothing’s stopping you from being a palamom or palathem instead.
