Barkeep on the Borderlands
Gold ENnie Award Winner 2023 for Best Supplement; Dicebreaker Tabletop Awards 2023 Finalist; Polygon’s Best New Tabletop RPG Book of 2023
What if carousing in fantasy taverns were its own adventure?
Barkeep on the Borderlands is a barhopping, fantasy adventure amidst Mardi Gras-like festivities, including 20 detailed pubs and dynamic drinking rules.
Barkeep on the Borderlands flips the script on the tired trope of starting in a tavern. In this adventure, players explore the many taverns of the Keep in search of a missing antidote, getting into shenanigans along the way. The pubcrawl is like a dungeoncrawl but with bars and streets instead of rooms and corridors.
What you’ll find in the adventure…
20 detailed taverns, with unique premises like a speakeasy run by cultists, an undead dance club, a gambling den for kobold gangsters or a cozy bar in a witch’s cottage
36 character backgrounds for potential pubcrawlers
5 intertwined factions vying for control of the Keep, including a wizard academy, a cult of chaos and an NGO run by goblins
A gameable timeline detailing a precarious political situation that the players can interact with and disrupt
Over 100 full-color illustrations, with some on every page
Grand total of 100 random tables with 745 total results to facilitate endless sessions of adventures in a fantasy city
What you’ll get…
The book: 60 pages, with singer sewn binding, digest size (5.5” x 8.5”), full color cover and interior
The downloads: PDFs of the adventure automatically sent to your inbox, so that you can get started on the fun right away
