Taverns Fantasy in Chaos Solo Engine
Taverns and Inns in fantasy are places to relax, to stay, to find quests, meet NPCs, gather rumours and spend hard-earned cash. They might also be the sites of adventures, a place to retire to , a place to carouse for experience (some OSR and NSR games) or a place to look after.
Some fantastical ones might be on a boat, in a tree, full of gnomes or move from plane to plane.
Chaos Solo Engine aims to act as a companion to the player(s) when playing solo. Answering questions, helping with ideas, structuring scenes, and guiding ongoing play.
The upcoming Chaos Solo Engine -Complete has an array of tables for various fantasy themes, including settings of City, Dungeon, Hinterlands, Otherworld, Sea and Wilderness.
There is also a pay-what-you-want pdf of core tables in on Drive Thru RPG as Chaos Solo Engine - Fantasy Basic.
