Gastfreund is a German-language role-playing game of hospitality and social interaction in the late Middle Ages. Players take on the roles of travelers seeking lodging and companionship in a world where trust and reputation are paramount.

Gameplay

The game is played through a series of scenes, each representing a different encounter or conversation. Players describe their characters' actions and dialogue, and the game master (GM) narrates the responses of non-player characters (NPCs). The focus is on developing relationships, building trust, and navigating the social complexities of the time period.

Characters

Players create characters who are travelers from different backgrounds, such as merchants, pilgrims, knights, or minstrels. Each character has their own motivations, skills, and reputation. The game encourages players to consider their characters' social status, economic means, and personal beliefs.

Hospitality

Hospitality is a central theme of the game. Players must seek lodging and companionship from strangers, and their success depends on their ability to build trust and demonstrate their worthiness. The game explores the ethical dilemmas and social expectations surrounding hospitality in the Middle Ages.

Reputation

Reputation is a crucial factor in the game. Players' actions and choices affect their reputation among other travelers and NPCs. A good reputation can open doors and provide opportunities, while a poor reputation can lead to suspicion and rejection.

Setting

The game is set in the late Middle Ages, a time of great social and economic change. Players encounter a variety of characters from different walks of life, including merchants, nobles, peasants, and clergy. The game's setting is rich in historical detail, providing players with a immersive and authentic experience.

Themes

Gastfreund explores themes of trust, hospitality, reputation, and the social dynamics of the Middle Ages. The game encourages players to consider the complexities of human relationships and the importance of building connections in a challenging world.
