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.

A beautiful performer is beguiling guests, trying to convince them to fork over large sums of money and maybe even leave town to elope with them, only to get dumped somewhere else, later on.

A secret door in the basement turns out to contain more than rats; there's an entire underground complex down there, or possibly a smuggler's exit to an old catacomb or cavern.
A very ill-timed celebration or event. Who is the idiot that scheduled the Annual Gathering of Amazon Shield Maidens at the same time and place as the Society For the Preservation of Old Family Values?
A group of drunks make fun of the innkeeper's appearance. The innkeeper is not amused and may attempt to throw them out, possibly requiring the characters' assistance in doing so.To generate more suggestions, simply refresh the page.
