PubQuest
A fun pub crawl drinking game inspired by classic, fantasy roleplaying games.
Exploring the Dungeon
In PubQuest, bars and pubs are dungeons. Exploring them is the heart and soul of the game. There are only a handful of rules one needs to know.
- To enter a new dungeon, take 1 drink of water.
-
In a new dungeon, each character must roll the die.
- If the result is 1, the dungeon is trapped. Any character that wanders off to the restrooms for any reason loses 1 level.
- If the result is a 19 or 20, you have encountered a dragon! All characters must take 1 drink to gain 2 levels, otherwise all characters lose 2 levels.
- If the result is greater than your current level, you've encountered a wandering monster! Take 1 drink to gain 1 level, otherwise lose 1 level.
- Optionally, any character may choose to Loot the Dungeon. Ask the bartender for the recommended house specialty drink, and drink it to gain 1 level.
Rules of the Realm
No matter where your adventure takes you, heroes must always abide by the Rules of the Realm. These rules apply whether or not you are in a dungeon.
- All characters start at level 1, and that is the lowest level any character can be.
- Fumbling -- any character that spills, stumbles, loses something, or bumps into stuff must lose 1 level.
- Winning initiative -- whichever character is served (anythin) first in a new dungeon wins initiative, and gains 1 level.

Each kind of character has a unique special ability to aid in your quest. Each character sheet clearly lists out everything you need to know in order to play. Choose the character type that fits your playstyle, and print off the sheet!
