A Tale of Two Hubris Taverns

 

Welcome to The Dead Fox Tavern & Inn

A Tale of Two Hubris Taverns

I finally got around to dipping into HUBRIS A World of Visceral Adventure by 

Mike Evans (I’ve had it on my shelf for awhile).  Several months ago, while 

preparing for the next session of my LotFP campaign which would be taking 

place in the city of Oberstdorf, I knew I would need one or more taverns or 

inns for the events that might be unfolding.  For whatever reason, I pulled 

 HUBRIS off my shelf and flipped through it, and voila! Chapter 6: GM Tools 

and Tables contained a Tavern and Inn Generator.  Perfect!  I bookmarked that 

section and followed through on other aspects of my game prep.

 

During session #115 of my campaign, the PC Fecus was lying to a magistrate 

about his current lodgings in the city and when the adventure party decided to 

visit it and start covering their tracks, I used the Tavern and Inn Generator to

 create The Dead Fox Tavern & Inn on the spot.

 

Session #116 required another tavern, this time in the town of Muntburg, and 

again I pulled out Hubris and rolled up the details of The Broken Twig Tavern.

 

My players and I enjoyed the results rolled for both locations, so I thought I 

would share them with you.  

 

If the result is highlighted yellow, it became known or relevant during the game 

session.  In some cases I’ve embellished or added to the result rolled on the 

table.  The Broken Twig was named before I decided to use the Hubris tables, 

so I didn’t need to roll on that particular table.
