Adventure - Once Upon A Tavern (Patreon)

Renovate a tavern, befriend the locals, and let somebody else save the world in this cozy D&D adventure! 

Once Upon A Tavern is something quite different to my usual Patreon pieces! For one thing, it's the first adventure I've ever written that involves no essential combat encounters. For another, it's tonally one of the most light-hearted and wholesome Tales Arcane adventures so far. If you're looking for a palate cleanser between campaigns, a break from battles, or something to run with younger players, this might be it!

Across four in-game weeks, the players rebuild a run-down tavern, help out local villagers with their problems, and find a place within the small community of Witchwood. Your players will encounter a ghost with a song stuck in its head, a goblin with delusions of grandeur, a monastery full of (slightly) repentant thieves, a nervous pig in the apothecary, and a lot more.

You can run this adventure as a stand-alone experience or as part of a larger campaign, or you can just take all the encounters and NPCs from the setting and use them in a different setting entirely. If you do want to run the adventure as intended, however, it should work for players at most levels.

Enjoy!
