Sometimes, the characters need a break – and by break they don’t really mean another story hook. This generator covers ordinary day-to-day things happening at the local inn in town which the characters are familiar with. A lot of entries here are simply background noise that characters resting up or waiting on somebody might act upon if they wish.
This table is designed for a European inspired fantasy set in a technological and cultural age equivalent to the Middle Ages up to the Early Modern Period (ca. 1100-1750 AD.).
This generator currently has 54 entries.
Give me five!
A patron tells the same old story about the same old monster out in the woods to the same old audience trying to recruit them to go fight it in the same old way.
A wealthy patron eats, drinks, and makes merry and yet the innkeeper seems disgruntled. As it happens, this man holds a powerful position in town or has dirt on the innkeeper and he never pays for what he consumes.
An assassin has been hired to kill a character or another patron of the inn. The characters probably manage to foil the attempt which then in turn becomes a hook leading to their next investigative adventure in town.
A local patron talks the ear off anyone who will listen to their ghost stories and other made-up-on-the-spot babble. They're really here for the free beer, a man's throat gets so dry talking of these things, yanno?
A couple of patrons – married or lovers – have a falling-out that turns far more public than one would wish.To generate more suggestions, simply refresh the page.
