More like this, maybe some tavern games.

Hi, I have a problem printing this. The first page is blank, but everything else is printed. Is there a flattening issue with page 1 or is it just my printer being stupid?

A really handy article for a GM to have on hand for trips to town. Doesn't even need to be full festival. Can get some of these going as tavern games etc. Some could have had more than win/lose or added levels of difficulty, like competitors going for the greased pig. Some do, like arm wrestling, I really like how you need 2 in a row to will. Can go back and forth that way. Has some obvious items, whist other obvious ones are not there (like archery), but that was an article on its own from memory. Prizes are fairly mundane too, but that can be easily adjusted with a roll on the Trinkets Table from PHB ;) Very handy article and the type I really like as a GM. :)

I think this is a great idea, and I'm thinking of starting a new adventure for a mixture of beginner and advanced players at level 1. To get the beginners used to various rolls and tests. The adventure will ultimately take a turn when a couple of thieves steal something, and from there lead into a different adventure. It makes a fresh change to starting an adventure in an inn or palace.

I really like these, but is Catch the Pig supposed to be unwinnable without the Grappler feat? You need it to even try to pin someone in 5e (which seems silly, but that's how the rules work).
