Cardboard Quest, 1.0
The Adventure Week in the Quarantinuum Quoloring Book has been expanded to 2 weeks, since I went a little nuts on the whole thing and decided to write out by hand the handbook for the Live Action Role Playing Game: Cardboard Quest.
The Cardboard Quest sheets are free and downloadable from Week 4 & 5 in the Quarantinuum Quoloring Book. It’s been a blast playing with Cora, so if you have any suggestions on things to add or expand, let us know. It’s likely I’ll be developing this further for the next Dragon and Goat book or zine, so be on the look out for more from the Land of Carboria!
In the game you make your own characters (so you don’t have to be Dragon nor Goat), costumes, maps, and quests. The goal is to STRETCH your IMAGINATION and also obtain the Four Treasures of CARBORIA to either fend off the Archduke Trumpor’s Evil Armies or to Help Your Friendly Neighborhood Goblins Get Back Their Snail Herds.
No dice are required but it’s pretty cardboard heavy, so be ready to build armor, weapons, castles, and mangonels .

We’ve been play-testing at home, and Cora has transformed into the Sunset Knight: Sparrow Goldfinch (who she insists she is “all day, everyday”). We’ve been building helms, swords, and temples and watching videos of real-life women blacksmiths.
So far Sparrow Goldfinch and her trusted Wizard friend Kip Fizzfuzz (that’s me) have helped the Goblins of the Chlorphox Forest get Rainbow Starfruit, the Fire Bats of Flamera rid themselves of Ants with Cotton Candy Spell, and helped a Grumpy Swimming Dinosaur with its indigestion. That leaves only one treasure left- from the temple at the top of MT. THUNDROS!
Along the way we’re keeping an adventure journal and we’ll be illustrating it here and there the rest of the summer as we expand the adventures of Sparrow Goldfinch. If you do the same, share your adventures #dragonandgoat AND #quarantinuum or send ’em to us via the contact page or email, and we’ll put them in our Fan Gallery for Fame and Glory!
