Knights of the Kitchen Table
A downloadable Pen and Paper RPG
Today’s the day of the Big Celebration, and all the nobles and peasants are gathered in the capital to partake in the festivities. There’s just one problem: nothing’s ready. As members of the royal court, it’s your job to scramble to prepare the festivities, lest the king fly into a rage and lop off your heads.
In Knights of the Kitchen Table, players assume the roles of the servants and knights of the royal household on the day of a Big Celebration. The goal of the RPG is to successfully pull off the feast of the century, no matter the obstacles. Players will cook, clean, barter, steal, sneak, fight, and craft their way to pulling off one of the greatest Celebrations the kingdom has ever seen...or die trying, at least.
Included in this game are 40 pages of rules and illustrations. Also included on this page is a digitally form-fillable player sheet.

Hello! This is a very cool RPG and I loved reading about it. The way it is structured (with a clear Big End culminating in the party) I think will help a lot to introduce it to tables that revolve around going to gamestores and the like, even if we may have to wait a few months for that to be feasible again.
Your classes and races are all quite distinct and yet their simplicity creates a really nice template to introduce homebrew ones! My favourite are the fae beasts and the ratmin :) Also I think it would be cool to add more mechanics for helping outside of Meals, I think you created a really smart way of doing it and it's sad to think it can only be used in that specific purpose.
Anyway it's a really cool game !! Thank you for sharing <3
Hello. I made a spreadsheet based character sheet for the game so that I could play a session with friends online. If anyone wants to use it you can make a copy from:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sBOCq4jXgTQMA75ni80cQiZOxFSxjaHY0CLKFUi-...
(It also has examples, if needed)
In the Character creation part of the rules you say that Morale and Favour max at 5, and the character sheet at the end has 5 boxes for each. However you then say that both starts start at 10/10, and in the Group Goals the Usurper goal makes people lose Favour if it is greater than 5.
Which is the correct maximum? 5 or 10?
Also you say "King’s Favor drops by one point for every day that the Big Celebration is delayed". Is that always 1 point per game day, or is the GC expected to give a number of "free days" first? Does the GC just decide when a day has passed, or should you track time? Or maybe track meals?
