Only a little more than a day left to put Tavern Cards over the top!

Tavern Cards are a deck of cards which allow you to randomly build a tavern for roleplaying games. If you like random generation of setting details, these are right in your wheelhouse.

Only $800.00 to go! Check 'em out!


Note that I'm simply a backer, not the project creator. All I get out of this if it funds is a deck of cards.

That sounds cool as hell.

It isn't.

Killjoy wuz here.

Think I'm missing something here. As in, what's the point of them? Are they a game aid, some kind of card game or what? I initially thought they were a pack of random adventure generators as might be found in the old 'You start in a tavern...' intros to adventures of old. Draw a card - rescue a... another card... merchant... who has been ... card... kidnapped... by card... Trolls and so on, with say a red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet section on each card, all different. Draw seven cards, read the colours and put an adventure plot together.

Or at least that's what I thought it might be. This, I'm not sure of. On the plus side $5 for shipping is very reasonable, probably too cheap (to get from the US to Britain for $5?) I'll have another look at it.

Yeah, I saw that post on story-games.com, too.

Well, I didn't post it there - just stating my thought on how the cards *might* have been useful. As it is, I don't know what they are for.

Like any other randomiser, they provide inspiration and they're fun to play with.

The project funded, btw.

I'm glad it funded but couldn't a similar thing be done with some random tables and no expense?

Sure. The cards add novelty, nothing more.

Well, fair enough. If some people want a gimmick, and someone else wants to sell it to them, there's no harm done.
