What is “The Wayfarer”?

The Wayfarer is an upcoming live-action fantasy series,

inspired by tabletop games. 

Your party meets in a Tavern. 

If you've played role-playing games, chances are this is how your story began. As a few eclectic strangers bond over some ale in the common room, some drunk bloke pokes fun at your drinking companions. Naturally, you make fun of their ugly face, and moments later there is an all-out brawl in the tavern. After the fight, you have some new friends to go adventuring with! That is, after you get out of the dungeons.

What happens after the adventurers leave? Who is left to clean up their mess?

Our story follows the owners of The Wayfarers Rest Tavern, Oscar and Aella. After inheriting the tavern from their parents, they struggle to keep the family business afloat. In addition to adventurers constantly wrecking their tavern, the newly appointed Lord of Mulbury has instated a "Brawl Tax". With rumors of slavers keeping travelers off the roads, Oscar and Aella lose money every night as the lord's purse gets heavier. Though the problems Oscar and Aella face seem dire, tales of the Wayfarers comfort them in their darkest times.

While most fantasy stories focus on the valiant knights and brave heroes, The Wayfarer is a new story that brings the often ignored background characters to the forefront. Through unusual characters, sophisticated worldbuilding, and innovative storytelling, The Wayfarer takes classic fantasy tropes and turns them on their heads.
