Tavern hearth with maps and mugs

A Week's Worth of Ale & Rumours

Sit ye down, folks, and lend an ear! Word from across the lands says the Grand Council of Wizards. that peculiar bunch who publish tomes of eldritch rules, has been quietly recruiting fresh scribes and lore‑masters to chart new paths for adventurers come the Year of the Dragon's Roar.

Some say they seek stories brimming with rights, wrongs, and eldritch sorcery; others whisper that next season's quests will twist expectations nearly as cleverly as old Bartholomew's card tricks. Between gulps of stout, I reckon that's either great news or terrible trouble, often it's both.

Tavern Talk: Your Role in the Stories Yet to Be Written

Heard it from a grinning halfling at table nine, this year is supposed to be the year when scribes and DMs alike shape the very future of the game we all love. So raise your mugs and ask yourself: what legend will your blade carve into tavern tales this year?

Rumour of the Week: The Unseen Play

Whispers from odd corners tell of tales ending only to rise again in stranger, wider worlds. Some claim it's bardic drama. Others say prophecy. Either way, it's fine company on a winter's night.

Tavern Special

This weekends special is Liverwort Ale paired with marinated boar ribs. Cast your saving throws, it's worth the risk.

Garrick's Advice

Never trust a goblin with your last rations... unless you fancy missing dessert.
