Alehouses, inns, barrooms, saloons, pubs, taprooms, bars, roadhouses, taverns...

Every world has its watering holes; the places where everyone knows your name, or at least one of them. These are the places where characters plot their rebellions, conquests and adventures.

In some circumstances, these can be the sites of a group’s fiercest and most memorable battles; not of swords and spells, but of broken bottles and crushed chairs. If you’re a friend of K2 Games, you may have even witnessed one burning to the ground.

Mages, fireballs, whiskey, and wood... very bad.

This is our tribute to these inns and taverns; the unsung but unforgettable setting for countless adventures and debacles.

Contained in these pages is the outline for a tavern or inn, along with all the information to use it at your gaming table, waiting for you and your players to breathe life into it.

Also included are high-resolution maps, sized for printing and use as battlemats as well as a ZIP archive that includes hi-res JPG versions of the maps for use with Virtual Tabletop software.

There’s a table for naming the dens of ill-repute and even rules for running a business, in case one of your players decides she wants to contribute to the local economy, or maybe even retire from her life of adventuring.

Hey... Stranger things have happened.

Wandering or random encounters are often given short-shrift—thrown together haphazardly with very little to no preparation, other than finding an entry in a list of monsters, rolling dice to see how many show up and then playing out a boring, non-immersive exchange.

Encounter Briefs are designed to give GMs tools to improve the quality of their spontaneous encounters, or provide small set-pieces for their players.

Each Brief focuses on a specific type of creature. An extensive series of stat blocks of a variety of challenge levels for the theme creatures are included, allowing the GM to present challenging, well-rounded encounters with a minimum of preparation.

Each Encounter Brief also includes high-resolution maps suitable for printing or use in a Virtual Tabletop program.
