Trial of the Bumbling Barbarian

You are a BARBARIAN HERO! The list of your adventures and escapades is almost as big as one of your biceps. You’ve saved the weak, slain the strong, doing good and fighting evil all the while. Some of your heroic acts are widely celebrated. Some… are not.

It’s that last bit that’s led you to your current situation. You have been ARRESTED. They have charged you with a list of crimes as big as your other bicep - “destruction of property”, “reckless endangerment”, “manslaugher”, and other big words you only kinda know. Today, you are ON TRIAL - and not the kind where a lawyer can do the talking and thinking for you. This is NOT GOOD.

Trial of the Bumbling Barbarian is a one-page RPG made using William Lentz's Second Guess System. All of your barbarian feats and adventures - from slaying dragons to stealing gems to holding feasts - can be either evidence of your heroism or proof that you're a menace. Usually, they're both.

Though initially created as a solo journaling RPG, it can also be played with up to three players.
