Inns, taverns, and restaurants and ndash; these are the places of role-playing legend. Well, maybe not so much restaurants, but places to eat are important too! Such businesses are often the first place characters go when they enter a city, and the last place they leave before waving goodbye. In the history of RPGs, taverns have spawned more adventures than any other location. Inns are important too, because they serve as urban home bases and refuges for recuperation. Restaurants are less common game elements, though I hope this book will change that. They are a fresh break from typical locations, and are places for PCs and NPCs to meet, intrigue, and plan.

In many campaigns and groups, inns and taverns are gamed so much they and rsquo;ve stopped being special. They and rsquo;ve become clich and eacute;s. Many GMs run the same ideas and concepts over and over, stuck in a rut they might not even know they are in. If it isn and rsquo;t broken, don and rsquo;t fix it, right? However, breathing new life into these classic pillars of your game sessions is important. Nothing should be taken for granted. Don and rsquo;t let things become mundane, stale, and uninspired. This is a sure route to burnout and player apathy.

Next time the characters enter an inn, tavern, or restaurant, surprise them. Let them know things are different this time around. Make them second-guess their assumptions. Inspire them to look around with fresh eyes, and bring the wonder back to your game.

It starts with fun and interesting designs. This book is about helping you craft cool, useful, and entertaining establishments. It will help you create locations that feel real and interactive.

This book will also guide you in creating important puzzle pieces that snap into your games. There and rsquo;s little point designing campaign elements that have small story payoff. You have little enough time for preparation as it is, so this book is about earning double or triple wins from your designs: world development, campaign development, and encounter development. If you make a single inn, tavern, or restaurant serve all three needs, you and rsquo;ve saved time and improved your game sessions in one swoop. Let this book help you craft locations of superior quality. Your players will notice.

It and rsquo;s interesting to note that inns, taverns, and restaurants often overlap in gaming. Inns serve food and offer entertainment. Taverns and restaurants might sell lodgings in the back or upstairs. All three types of businesses have similar design elements, so by considering one, you and rsquo;ll learn and be inspired to design all three. That and rsquo;s why I wrote this book and mdash;to cover each of these types as a group to save you time and energy rather than writing three separate books. You can apply the tips and advice that follow to any inn, tavern, or restaurant and mdash;learn once, design often.

This eBook is about helping you plan, prepare, and GM better adventures. While you can use the information that follows to craft interesting holidays, my main goal is to help you use holidays as the backbone for campaigns, adventures, and encounters.

With strategic design, as outlined in the coming pages, you can transform holidays into a vital GMing tool to create immersion, realism, and most importantly, more fun in your game sessions.

Holiday Essentials Overview:

Chapter 1: How To Design Compelling Holidays

The first chapter gives step-by-step instructions for building a holiday. It helps you pick the right level of detail creation as well, so that you don and #39;t waste time over-planning, or don and #39;t get caught under-planning.

Chapter 2: Holiday Design Elements

This chapter is your holiday design toolset. It goes into detail about how and what to design for each of the steps outlined in chapter 1. Numerous examples are provided.

Chapter 3: GM and amp; Campaign Advice

Chapter 3 provides tips and tools to help you design holidays and use the advice from the first two chapters.

The players have to constantly adlib and adapt to plot developments. If they become overwhelmed, it is "in character" to stop and discuss the situation with each other. The Game Master on the other hand has no confidants. He is expected to react instantly to what the players describe their characters doing.

The typical GM spends hours preparing before a game; planning for everything the characters might try. But no matter how much you prepare, the only sure bet is that the players will think of something you didn't. In fact the more material you prepare, the more likely it is that one of the players will latch on to an incidental detail and take off in an unexpected direction faster than you can say "Red Herring."

Every Game Master has his own style. But all of them need to be able to think on their feet. Improvising during a game is easier if you are ready to step away from the written game and go in the direction the players want to try. Remember the player characters are the main characters in the story you are telling. By definition the plot is what they do, not what you planned for them. You want to gently guide the group 'back on track' without letting them realize that they ever deviated from the script.

There are three techniques which can improve your improvisation behind the GM screen: Plot Seeds, Stock Characters, and Rakugo Props. (On a personal note: Some of the best games I've ever run, I've shown up at the table armed only with this bag of tricks and no fore planning to get in the way.)

Everyone Else

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written By: Richard Ruthman and amp; Michael S. Thibault
Page Count: 67 pages
Cover by: M Jason Parent
Illustrated by: Juan Navarro and amp; Traditional Woodcuts
Revised Edition
A book of statblocks for Innkeepers and Farmers may not make compelling reading, but with over 80 NPC professions and 320 stat blocks, Everyone Else is a valuable resource for game masters who are short on time and need to know the seneschal's Sense Motive modifier in a jiffy.

Getting hassled by the tax collector? PLONK... level 3 Expert with all the right skills and stats for being a tax collector coming right up. Players decide to complain about the tax collector to the local constabulary? PLONK... level 5 warrior with the right skills and stats for the town guard at your service... Time to go over his head and take matters up with the prince? PLONK... first you have to work your way past the level 1 and level 7 seneschals that run the palace before you can meet... PLONK... the level 5 aristocrat (idle noble) that supposedly runs this town that the players were only supposed to be in to restock their rations...

For DMs with a bit more time on their hands, value-added advice and suggestions for customizing NPCs, brief background on each NPC type, as well as rules to remember are included. If someone isn't certain about what is involved in being a lawyer in a pseudo-medieval setting, the introduction will give a overview of the information needed to put a lawyer to work in the game.

Taking full advantage of the electronic medium, the book includes comprehensive Bookmark choices, breaking the NPCs down by chapter sequentially as well as an alphabetical listing for ease of reference. Your download (or CD) includes two versions: one full colour version complete with graphics and bookmarks, another "Low Impact" edition without the backgrounds so those printing the book can save on toner! Being in PDF format, a DM can cut and paste the desired statblock into her game notes and then customize to suit her campaign or adventure in the wordprocessor of her choice. And since all of the text is 100% open game content, everyone can cut and paste to their heart's content.

Ready-made statblocks are faster than any PC generator, and far more portable! Not just a "rogues gallery", Everyone Else's NPCs are non-adversarial and non-adventuring NPCs, and reduce prep-time needed for the space between adventures, allowing a DM more freedom to work on the fun stuff -- the dungeons, quests, and thwarting the evil villains. This is one book in your DM's collection that won't collect dust!

This is the revised edition of Everyone Else. Stat blocks have been revised, clubs have the proper crit range, feats are redistributed and strength stats have been calculated into weapon damage.

100+ descriptions to liven up any dark place.

and nbsp;

Bring new life to your dungeons by adding short "bits" of description to energize your adventures. Never have to tell your players a room is "just empty." The descriptions are designed so that they can be randomly generated as you play or placed with malice aforethought. For example, instead of saying "The room is empty," a GM can whip out Bit #47 and read, "You come across a backpack that appears to have been ripped open by a clawed hand and teeth. Its worthless contents have been scattered around, torn, and trampled..." and so on, painting a picture to add spice and interest to your dungeon, crypt, or other dark place. Essentially, nothing in your dungeon has changed. There is still effectively nothing there, but is no longer "just another empty room!"

Bits of Darkness: Dungeons is written to be of use to both experienced and inexperienced Game Masters, particularly those who (for whatever reason) find themselves short on time or creativity. It is created to be an "on the go" product, which means you don't need to read the entire work before you can use it.

This book includes 100 Bits of description, and 6 Shards. The Bits are small pieces that can be stuck in, anywhere a little description is needed, and are numbered so they can be used randomly. Shards are slightly larger, and may depict a particular place or event, or set a feel for an area. The material is also indexed a number of ways to allow a GM to easily find a description to fit a particular circumstance. Each Bit is also provided in index card format for ease of use by Game Masters.

As a special bonus, we have included 8 descriptions that could be used in a catacomb area, and some "Bits of Trouble," a few tricks or traps to keep players on their toes. In addition, some descriptions are graphically depicted in the excellent interior art by the Carmona Brothers.

Bits of Darkness: Dungeons uses material from the SRD, but could be used in any fantasy setting with very minor modifications.

Want More Dread for Your Dungeon?

Tabletop Adventures presents "Bits of Darkness: Dungeons II" with over 250 descriptions of various sizes to augment your imagination in our easy-to-use "Buy it Today, Play it Tonight" formats. In this book we are introducing Dungeon Bricks, which are rooms and encounters that can be dropped into virtually any dungeon, and Splinters of the Senses by Martin Ralya that add even more ambience and flavor. We again have the wonderful art of the Carmona Brothers, and some of our usual Bits and Shards as well.

These new Bricks are building blocks of a dungeon. They include "Room Kits" such as the Throne Room, Guard Post or Chapel of Sacrifice, and also Encounters and Traps such as the Volcanic Workshop, Scrag Cave, or Well of the Abyss. (All Encounters and Traps include d20 stats.) In addition we include new Bits (in both text and card formats) and new Dungeon Shards. Another new feature of this product is the miniature Splinters of the Senses, by Martin Ralya. These Splinters provide tiny random pieces of flavor text that can be used to enhance any dungeon location, even one that may already have some description.

"Bits of Darkness: Dungeons II" gives you even more ways to fill your dungeons with dread then did Bits of Darkness: Dungeons, and both products were designed to dovetail together and help each other.

As mentioned above, this book includes over 250 descriptions of various sizes. The book opens with the thirty Dungeon Bricks. Next are the three dozen Bits, small pieces that can be stuck in anywhere a little description is needed, and numbered so they can be used randomly.

In addition, there are 99 totally new Splinters of the Senses, to provide even more Help for the Harried Gamemaster.

Some of the standard uses for the Commodity Cards are:
• Used as random treasure for mundane items in caravans and merchant or pirate ships.
• Used to determine the inventory for a merchant?s stall or store in the local marketplace.
• Used as random treasure in dungeons (even orcs and goblins have to eat, and they make raids on local villages for these items).

Some other, non-standard uses for the Commodity Cards are:
• To depict items in a caravan the party is guarding.
• To indicate payment the party must make to a local warlord or evil dragon so a local village does not come to harm.
• To determine wholesale cost for PCs wanting to open their own business.

As parties of adventurers roam the globe in search of treasure, not everything they find will be gold, silver, or precious gems. Sometimes the party will come across more mundane, yet still valuable, commodities that are bought and sold every day and help keep the world economies going. How do you determine what the value of a bundle of animal hides, or a box of ore should be? If a party should and #39;liberate and #39; a cargo of myrrh from a merchant ship, what price will they get when they sell it in the next port?

To answer this question Tangent Games has created Commodity Cards. Commodity Cards are cards that the GM can print out and use to determine the type, quantity, and value for different commodities. Commodity Cards II: Raw Materials provides 230 new commodity cards that only deals with those commodities that are used to make something else that has an even higher value. In addition to the cards the book includes sets of tables for random commodity generation.

"Cromagh judges goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears by the same standards he applies to everyone else: Are they stronger than Cromagh? And, if so, does that mean Cromagh will need help carrying their treasure when he loots their corpses?"

Cromagh's Guide to Goblinoids compiles years of first-hand experience fighting against and alongside goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears. Offering the observations and opinions of a veteran half-orc barbarian, as well as more fact-based insight and information, the material contained within this sourcebook gives new dimension to the goblinoids of any campaign.

Cromagh's Guide to Goblinoids includes:

• Insight into the daily life, psychology, myths, and beliefs of goblinoids
• Eight new feats, including Bolt, Kickfighting, and Trophy Hunter
• Goblinoid armor, weapons, and magic items, such as goblin scrap armor, throwing hooks, and sand bombs
• Six new prestige classes, including the Bugbear Scout, Goblin Scrimshander, and Hobgoblin Warlord
• Combat tactics and sample encounters that illustrate how each of the three goblinoid races make the most of their strengths
• Six goblinoid NPCs, each fully statted out at two different character levels, for use in any campaign

Cromagh's Guide to Goblinoids is the first in an innovative series of sourcebooks providing new ways for players and gamemasters to create and play monstrous characters in any d20 fantasy setting.

Cromagh's Guide to Goblinoids is a 38-page PDF for players and GMs, plus the included front cover page. For more information, please visit The Game Mechanics website. There, you can also find Goblinoid NPCs, a free publication with additional information on the six goblinoid NPCs found in Cromagh's Guide to Goblinoids.
