Same old story — the PCs venture into town, they find a room to rent and grab a few drinks and a decent meal before settling into a comfortable bed for the night. They wake up, sell some loot, and venture on their way. But what if, instead of just deducting a few gold pieces and letting your PCs regain some spells, you give them a chance to explore and interact with the city around them? What if you let them hear tales of other adventurers (be they entirely fictional or inspired by local heroes), give them a chance to use those Knowledge (local) or Perform (acting) skills, or allow the weary travellers to just be entertained by amusing actors?
The latest in the Tangible Taverns line is a dinner theatre. That’s right, a dinner theatre. Don’t worry; it still serves food and drinks. Plus we have provided a brief synopsis of various plays so you have an answer ready when your players ask what the show was about.
Join us as we embark on an entertaining evening at the local dinner theatre in Tangible Taverns: Simon's Dinner Theatre.
Haven't checked out our other taverns yet? Why not do it now?
•Tangible Taverns: The Bull & The Bear details a comfortable tavern complete with a discrete brothel.
•Tangible Taverns: Tuffy's Good Time Palace details a dilapidated tavern filled with the city's least desirables. The drinks are terrible, the food is limited to the pickled variety, and not a soul would bat an eye at stealing your coin purse. This book includes detailed information on a local gang and its leader, the town healer (who could be more than he seems), and of course the memorable tavern employees (including Tuffy herself).
•Tangible Taverns: Trio of Taverns features not one, but, you guessed it, three taverns. Give your players the chance to explore what happens when a capable barbarian known for beheading his opponents falls in love with jam making and settles down to open his own shop, or let your players try to seduce a city noble by taking her to the classiest and most romantic tavern in town, or just stick with the basics and let them dance the night away with great entertainment and delicious food, while avoiding the shadier elements.
