Tavern Openings – Free PDF to Help You Make Interesting Taverns

Ever notice how taverns are a recurring location in Dungeons & Dragons, either as a wayside stop or an opening location?

Well, we certainly did. Apart from having recently shared some thoughts about what we love about D&D taverns, we also decided to put together a handy 2-page PDF that can help you make your taverns more interesting and impactful!

You can pick it up today at our Ko-Fi page or from the link below (takes you to the same place).


Tavern Openings


To use the PDF, just grab a D6 and roll for each of the tables to get some interesting locations, curious details, and other ways of setting the scene.

Also, we included some initiating actions that get your party right into an intriguing scenario and a kicker at the end that you can use to kickstart further adventures or the start to a campaign.

So whether you just want to add a tavern to your existing game night or start a new game at one that goes beyond the usual drinking establishment, give it a spin and see where your adventures take you!

    The Foetid Lands Pack – 3-Player Warcry Battlepack

    Along the distant edge of the settled world sits a boggy, foetid land left to rot and ruin. Three unlucky bands of warriors still wander these wastes, each in search of either glory or release.

    The Gambler’s Burden – House Rules for Luck (Call of Cthulhu)

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Call of Cthulhu is a delightfully high stakes pen and paper RPG system. Set against the backdrop of the Cthulhu Mythos created by H.P.

It’s no secret that the Taggart Agency, Salem Falls’ once prestigious detective agency has fallen on hard…
