The Grand Pug Adventure! TTRPG

In this cooperative TTRPG, you are a grumble of pugs going on an adventure. Your mission? To find your human to get love and attention (and all the treats you deserve)!

Obstacles such as doors, errant socks, and too-tall couches stand in your way. Can you make it before you get tired or distracted and take a nap in the sun?

The Grand Pug Adventure! uses a contested 1d6 dice system, rolling against the Doggo Master (DM). The game ends when the pugs defeat all the obstacles trying to distract them and get in their way!

The Grand Pug Adventure! was La Lionne Publishing’s first TTRPG, written in 2022 and inspired by Anya’s late soul pug, Rocket, who passed away at 14.5 years old on September 10, 2024. 

There will never be another dog like you, my sunshine. I will always miss your boofs and opinionated stares and how you loved to bask in the sun.

This game was also inspired by Reggie and Adele, the two pugs I've had the good fortune to foster until they went on to their forever homes.
