Random tables for Tavern activities 😀
Work on my “sandbox setting” for LFG continues, and I’ve decided to post some draft tables relating to Taverns, hoping for a bit of feedback.
At the link are 3 random tables meant to support GM improvisation:
- Taverns (general info),
- Menus, and
- Patrons
Note that these tables:
- Specifically refer to the 5 cultures of the setting so far (all humans – Varnori, Nydissian, Midlander, Karok and barbarian).
- I’ve borrowed from or bent real world ancient culture names for each “race”, to keep them internally consistent (Varnori/Norse, Nydissian/Roman, Midlander/English, Karok/Spanish and barbarian – well, to be honest, these are just hard/rough sounding dwarf/orc like names).
- The tables also refer to a few setting specific details (eg some of the Midlander gods, and the Ordo Malefactos)
I intentionally kept the “Patron” table fairly vague/wide. My thinking is GMs should be able to use it in any shop or establishment, not just taverns.
If you have any thoughts, suggested improvements, glaring problems, etc – please let me know! I want to make these tables as useful to GMs as possible. All feedback welcome.

Looks good so far and I will put on my list for 2017 to create a nifty tavern generator.
There exist already some online but there are not exactly what I am looking for. Do you know of them already? If not, drop me a note and I send you my link-list. I will plunder them all to create the ULTIMATE tavern generator.

Hi Ahbaron, that’d be great, by all means add them to your tavern generator. And yes I am aware of a few tavern generators – indeed I used some of them for inspiration!
