“While King Richard was away fighting in the crusades, his scheming younger brother took control of London in an attempt to usurp the throne. Prince John exiled or executed those loyal to the king and appointed his flunkies to positions of power, including the notorious Sheriff of Nottingham.
Yet not everyone fled or stood by idly. Some chose to defy the cruel prince and take a stand against his oppressive rule, becoming champions of the people. The most famous of these heroes were Robin Hood and his Merry Men, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor—but many others took up the noble cause as well, fighting back against the prince’s tyranny and the sheriff’s petty cruelty.
You are a band of outlaws living in Sherwood Forest. After escaping the tender mercies of the Sheriff of Nottingham, you vowed retribution and swore to protect the common folk.”
Inspired by various movies, TV shows, and the earlier folklore tales of Robin Hood, Heroes of Sherwood Forest is a 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.
