RPGaDay 2025: Day 03

3. Tavern

My Advice on the Inclusion of Taverns in an Adventure

  • Make every tavern unique.
  • Make every owner/proprietor unique.
  • Give every tavern a name (preferably one that means something).
  • Give every tavern one signature drink and/or dish.
  • Determine the prices of food, drink, lodging, and stabling beforehand.
  • Describe the entertainment, e.g., music, storytelling, gambling, legerdemain, fortune-telling, games of skill, philosophical argumentation, etc.
  • Prepare a random rumor table.
  • Prepare a random tavern encounter table.
