Logan: “that wasn’t really helpful at all I’m sorry” Also Logan: *shows a massive list of dedicated patrons that gets longer with every video*

Idea: The entire tavern is a mimic. The interior is slightly sticky, being the innards of a mimic, but entirely serviceable. This mimic doesn't really have any interest in eating patrons, as it really just wants to stockpile gold, and figured out that people will happily throw cash at it for a good time. The Meandering Mimic's mouth is the bar, and folks pay by throwing coins into its mouth, with staff occasionally throwing meat in to feed the mimic. From time to time, the Meandering Mimic gets bored with where it currently is and entirely uproots and starts traveling somewhere else, staff and patrons along for the ride. Folks never really get used to it, and more than one patron has woken up completely hung over with no idea where they are.

Game Sets and Instruments count as tools (and instead of rolling a performance check with the instrument you can just roll purely to play the instrument and still be proficient). Your artificer can out play the bard, and out gamble the rogue. Keep that in mind.

Once I had this crazy idea for a Tavern called the Beast's and Feast's. It was a tavern run by a fancy bugbear with a nice suit and a fedora hat, and was entirely dedicated to serving monsters (the Tavern was inside a Dungeon, so access to it was pretty restricted) The idea was that, if the players were to come inside the Tavern, all of the Monster would be far too drunk to be aggressive, so everyone would just have a good time with their sworn enemies in a underground bar.

Tavern owner: "I have NO idea how he got there or why he's here. All I know is to stay away from him and that my basement has no rats....and that thief that came by a week ago went missing. I just named the mimic Charlie and don't touch the cask of ale he pretends to be."

Me, I think having a random goat in the tavern would give it that "Yup this is a dive bar" feel.... (Throw in a rat infestation too, and a barkeep who's response to seeing the rodents scurrying about is to throw a dagger at one, skewer it and as he picks up the dagger with the impaled rat and announces "Good news boys, RAT is back on the menu!" To which his patrons erupt into jovial cheers...

Tavern Ideas: (Might Update) 1. The Flaming Pipe This tavern is built over the remains of a dead fire elemental named O'ga'wa. It will be a boss/miniboss for your players, as it has several abilities regular fire elementals don't. O'ga'wa is being risen by a cult in the same town ans the tavern has unnaturally hot metal beams. When ruptured/melted (or when the ritual is finished) O'ga'wa will emerge, with tweaked stats depending on how long the cultists' ritual went on. This cult and elemental could have interesting connections to your main plot, or maybe even be the main plot of your campaign. 2. The Racing Scale This tavern is run by an adult blue dragon magically disguised as a human mage in their early twenties. The dragon will begin casting 1-2 level spells if threatened and will turn into their true form, crying, if attacked. This blue dragon is anomalous in the fact that it is not malicious at all. If the players investigate the tavern they will get small hints about the dragon. (example: There are blue scales littered all over the floor) A plotline and questline can be set up to get the blue dragon to admit to being a dragon, likely provoking fear and/or anger from the townsfolk. As a reward for the quests, the occasional ride to another known location can be given by the dragon quickly and safely. This can also tie into your main plot.

Actually, the “Wrestled Devil Tavern” would make a badass name for a D&D tavern! Complete with wall mural the owner paid for to have a picture of himself holding a devil in an arm bar. 😄

Whenever I make a campaign, I find it IMPERATIVE the tavern is well designed and that there's a price tag on the business itself. Why bother with a bog standard adventure, when your adventure can be about buying that stonking great big beautiful tavern and renovating it into the world's most fantabulous establishment? Adventurers need a retirement plan too. Bonus points if an adventurer loses a limb in a highly traumatic event: They can spin the tale to drinkers for a tip.

TFW you're tired of going to taverns, so you say that the important NPC is in the town community center, and one PC asks if there's an AA meeting, so you say yes because her character is struggling with alcoholism, so you have the alcoholic currently talking in the meeting rip off Stibble's backstory (not sorry Logan), but then another PC overhears and says, "Your wife died with your diamond ring? Where did she die?" because he wants the ring, and the alcoholic talking doesn't tell the 2nd PC, so the PC uses arms of hadar to try to kill all the alcoholics, so you pull stats from an 8th level sorcerer to be the leader of the meeting, who counterspells arms of hadar and polymorphs the PC into a cat and holds him until law enforcement can arrest him. Next time I'll just say they go to a tavern and make the alcoholic figure it out on her own.

One of the favorite PCs I ever had in a game I ran was a girl who was basically "Tifa if Aerith was her sister and they run a tavern together"; but while it was fun to have her punching, dolphin kicking, and tavern brawling her way through dungeons and stuff, much of her own acquired wealth usually went back to her hometown business... which meant I as a DM got to throw a wide variety of neat unique items at her to be impressed with and buy.

A menu is a fun thing to make too! (tavern food is more than just hearty stew) I did some research into medieval tavern food and here's a short list of stuff I keep on a note on my phone.

I once made a tavern called the Salty Sea Dog (named after its most popular drink). In the basement, there is a hidden passage to a hallway that mimics the Infinite Staircase, with all the "intersecting with every plane of existence" trope. It has doors every ten feet or so and a stairwell between every fifth door. The stairwells lead to other Salty Sea Dogs on other planes. The doors could come out anywhere (a la the Wardrobe). What's not immediately clear is that this hallway contains the lair of a time dragon. It has been hibernating for a long time, and devils have gained access since. They construct the taverns

I like the idea of the mimic in the wine cellar. Like imagine a party member finds his way down there, kills it, then goes to the owner expecting a reward of some kind, only to get yelled at because that mimic was there on purpose to eat any rats or roaches it came across. Then the owner gives them a quest to find a new mimic, and until then they're banned or have to pay extra.

Approximately 15 years ago I played a rogue in one of the campaigns we ran . Our group had become quite wealthy and my rogue decided to become a business man . He ended up with three taverns , the Grog and Grape on the waterfront , the Red Lion in midtown and the Excelsior in the wealthy part of town . It was actually one of the most enjoyable campaigns I ever played .

My first DnD character was a human barbarian named Veradux and he owned a tavern and would periodically go adventuring when he was needed. Later when I became a DM I included him as the tavern owner in a game that I ran because I already knew how to role play as him and knew what his tavern was like because the guy DMing the game was really interested in me fleshing out the entire thing

I’ve actually wanted a guide on how to make a tavern for my game, so thanks for the video Logan. You a cool dude. 👍

So I tend to have taverns be like town meeting spots where a whole bunch of people meet up to discuss business, and where adventurers go to find quests and get a drink or food while they discuss things or look for quests. In short I tend to fill my taverns to the brim with any number of important things like a separate counter for a setting appropriate adventurers guild

I sent this video to my little brother who’s learning to DM at age 12. He loves it and it helped him out a lot! Thank you!

I needed this. My taverns have needed sprucing up for a while nown

Great video for new DMs. You should do one for new players

I am so happy when the funny rune man makes another one of his ah-ahs videos

For naming taverns I like to use a couple basic formulas. The first is "The (adjective) (creature)" and works especially well if the adjective relates to drinking, such as The Dizzy Dragon, The Tipsy Badger, or The Parched Pixie. The second formula is "The (person's) (object)". This can use character classes, noble titles, or professions. Examples include The Ranger's Cup, The Duchess's Bower, or The Miller's Purse. Alliteration can make the names catchy, but isn't necessary, especially if it sounds awkward. Also, names can allude to other business conducted at the location, either overtly or covertly. The Duchess's Bower could double as a brothel, perhaps the local Thieves' Guild uses The Rogue's Cloak as a front, and maybe The Mage's Mixtures sells potions and alchemical concoctions in addition to mead and ale.

I actually have a very hard time improvising stuff like taverns when I don't know what kind of stuff it should contain. so this video was actually really helpful to me

And then the mad lad went and made a whole ass book about it. Hell yeah

So Runesmith made this video because no other book had a guide to make taverns. And now he's made a book absolutely full of taverns. I wonder if there is a connection there.

Instructions unclear, I made a cult of very suspicious cows.

no keep going you're doing it right

We were in the big Magic Metropolis, Where all your fantasies come true, so My PC's went to visit "The Granted Wish" a famous Tavern where all your wishes will come true. It's basically a Magical tower with a huge bar and a bunch of holodecks for rooms. With those rooms they can make all their dreams come true.

1st edition AD&D Dungeon Master’s Guide has almost every detail you ever wished you had & some things you never thought of. Perhaps certain game mechanics, like THAC0, were goofy & unnecessarily difficult, but that 1st edition DMG offered some great background & setting information.

Also, I'd recommend giving each tavern some special things, like a secret, special good or service, or merely a fun oddity. Perhaps all the servers are succubi. Perhaps the tavern serves the best cyanide cobbler this side of Yugostralia. Perhaps they have a fighting pit, or an opera, or a gladiatorial opera. Perhaps every night at the walls are magically covered in molasses, and people use that as an opportunity to trap somebody for 12 hours of sticky torment. Perhaps the tavern punishes groping the staff with hanging by the neck until dead. Ya know, fun stuff like that.

It actually totally was helpful. I hadn't considered some of this!

There were lots of people in the tavern when the fellowship of the ring arrived at the tavern. But they didn't talk to any of the people there execpt for aragorn and the tavern keep. The tavern keep was like, oi, that mysterious man over there wants to talk to ya. The extras just need to be there for flavour. A good DM can randomly generate names, personalities, and jobs on the fly if need be.

Who needs The Seeker’s Guide to Twisted Taverns™️, I have this video

Honestly Logan, from 6:30 on is exactly what I've been looking for. Fantastic, now I have a formula for bars!

This is very funny and usefull ! Keep them coming !

Oh crap! I forgot the help wanted board in my miniature tavern that I just built! (And the stairs... I forgot to build the stairs to the 2nd floor.) Thanks Runesmith!
