Stewpot: Tales from a Fantasy Tavern

The adventurers life is tough. Its time to call it quits. For years you stumbled through hostile lands, living off stale rations, and struggling to get a few hours sleep. Now its time to hang up your weapons, sell off your armor, and settle down. If only it were that easy

Stewpot: Tales from a Fantasy Tavern by Takuma Okada is a collection of cozy mini-games that tell the story of a tavern run by former adventurers. Gather your dice, pick up a deck of cards, set aside a shiny coin, and get ready for a new set of challenges. Only this time your adventures start behind the bar.

Stewpot is divided into a series of slice-of-life scenes, with a different set of simple rules and prompts helping adjudicate each scene. You might be scrambling to cook something edible with random ingredients, bartending for troubled souls, calming down a tavern brawl, going shopping for all the things a tavern needs, and more! Work to upgrade your taverns cuisine, atmosphere, and service. In the process, you might just learn a little bit about yourself and your fellow party members.

Whether you’re looking to play a chill pick-up session, or provide a campaign epilogue to your heroes’ epic adventures, Stewpot: Tales from a Fantasy Tavern will serve you well.
