Tavern Life tables FAQ

Questions about these tables.

How do I run a full tavern scene?

Roll an atmosphere, two or three patrons, a few menu items, and an event. That gives the scene a starting cast and activity; expand only what the players engage with.

Do the menus include prices?

No. The entries describe the food and drink with flavor text. You set prices to match your campaign economy - a peasant stew costs differently in a frontier town versus a capital city.

Can I combine the tavern name generator with these?

Yes - roll a tavern name from the Locations category, then use these tables for everything inside. Name, atmosphere, menu, patrons, and an event in five rolls.
