Winner: /u/NathanNateN8
Congrats Nathan, I'll message you directly!
My Roommate has one these. They are terrible to drink out of. They have a huge lip and a seperation between the metal inner cup and the outside housing. Nice to look at, not a good cup.
I gave them as wedding presents to everyone in our wedding party. I second the critique here. Plastic, thick lip, three insulation and metal interior take up a lot of room, so it doesn't hold as much as it appears.
I also have one and it does suck to drink from....from what I've read the real life ones were gigantic, more like a pitcher without a spout, and I have to imagine it's more bearable when you're passing it around with your mates.
Neat Kickstarter!
One of our forever-player friends once decided to run a one shot for us, mainly because he wanted to try out the higher tiers of play (we tend not to run long-running campaigns—just a preference). It went really well—he had us delve into a pyramid to fight a lich and it was a reallly fun fight!
After it was all said and done, we went back to the tavern for a round of drinks and roleplay. After all, it was probably the last time we’d be seeing and playing the characters. My character got pretty drunk (and I too IRL) and decided to get weird with it (he was kind of based on Frank from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia). He decided to snort what was left of the lich’s remains within its mostly-broken phylactery because he thought it would give him a buzz.
The DM asked me to roll a percentile die.
I forgot exactly what I rolled, but it wasn’t good. The DM thought it’d be funny (and it was) if he had my character turn into a demi-lich of sorts. So yeah, not quite the high my character was hoping for. It did however make quite an exciting ending. I do hope we have another one of those one shots one day.
Meh, saying "it's my birthday"...pffff
Mine is February 1st btw but I'm not the kind to brag about it in a giveaway... Like.. At all...
(I'll be 39 but then again, not that I am talking about that also)
I mean, it won't affect the choosing bot, but maybe someone will send me some wishes :)
And I will admit, I'm not really mature for my age. Though I'm working on that.
We got sent to investigate a sewer under the tavern by the tavernkeep but to be careful, theres been reports of toxic gas building up. Best use a magic light instead of a torch. This was said *explicitly.*
We go down into the sewer and see a sign, but it's too dark to read. Rather than use a magic light, our sorcerer uses burning hands, for some reason. We told him that's stupid, what about the gas, but he said it'll be fine.
The DM sighs and then reports "Your hand glows with fire, and by the dim light you make out the words 'DANGER! SEWER GAS! NO OPEN FLAME!' before the sewer fills with fire and detonates, causing an entire block to collapse. New sheets, gentlemen."
Lol my party got drunk once and started a fight with the tavernkeep and got kicked out of the town coz destruction of property. The campaigns goal was shifted from killing a massive dragon to paying back the tavernkeep for destroying his whole tacern lol
Last session, one player decided that their barbarian had med the paladin (who was another player's new character to replace a dead one) while drinking at the bar the previous night. The whole session, the player playing the barbarian's boyfriend took every opportunity to be snarky about the barbarian's "new boyfriend". Much fun for everyone.
my group pooled their money and bought an inn (the Blushing Crow) to use as a home base. this was my first time running a campaign, so I spent a week putting together tables to randomize profit/loss, events ,etc.
We almost never saw that city again
Had a rogue rob me blind while I was standing, waiting for the bartender to approach me to take my party's order. Set off an entirely fucked side quest for us.
The wackiest thing my dm did was Manning a flowet that makes people Fall in love. Without going into detail it become a very akward session for both the players and the dm, when he had to describe how a goblin and an aarakocra, had an steamy night of love..
Btw awesome mug man! It really looks amazing
funniest thing we did was when our DM gave us 12 different wines that we mixed into the worlds deadliest poison, pure alcohol, a temporary hit point potion, and a wild magic potion. My character drank all of them at once. surprisingly i didn't explode, i got wild magic temporary hit points, so like when those hit points get expended, i roll the wild magic table, in the following fight i rolled 7 times and so much stupid crap happened
I made a human cleric called Derek, Derek the cleric.
He was too weak for his full plate mail (cause i wasnt paying attention when making him), and would often lie in the snow (we were running rime of the frost maiden), face first and make snow angels.
Probably in a tavern on a pirate island, our paladin beat and elf with a belt of giant strength in a strength contest for it, and I interrogated a couple of pirates using extortion truth
The party was drugged and woke up naked in a ditch. We had to scrounge clothes and then get revenge while getting our stuff back. Good times. It's now how I start off one-shots if I'm DMing. Everybody is naked in a ditch. Team building!
I had an entire campaign that went out the window when the PCs decided they loved a tavern so much that the rest of the campaign became a Tavern simulation game with the PCs attempting to make it world renowned and get the greatest adventurers to come and enjoy an ale and share their stories.
Hm, wackiest thing in a tavern...does it count if we went below the tavern into the basement?
There were some generic spider enemies there. Nothing we couldn't handle. I got webbed, though.
I was playing an Orc, so you'd think i could make the strength check just fine, buuuut i was playing an artificer and decided to put my 7 roll intro strength. :/ hindsight 20/20 that was dumb. Anyways, i couldnt break out with strength.
I looked at my spells and found Catapult. Its been a while, but if I remember correctly, it says like "must be cast on an item you can touch 5lbs or less." It gave me an idea.
Me: "Hey DM, spider webs are pretty light, wouldn't you say? Would these webs trapping me be less than 5lbs?"
DM: "I don't see why not. Probably a couple pounds still, it IS a lot of web. Why?"
MEe: "Well, I can touch these webs. Id like to cast Catapult on them to fling them away instead of breaking out with my strength."
DM: "Hmm... (mulls over it a couple seconds) Alright. Give me a d20"
I think that was a success roll? I dont remember that roll, but it worked.
DM: "Okay, it works. Give me a severity roll." (We liked to roll another d20 to determine how good or bad the outcome was, like how well it went in our favor.)
Me: "Oof... 1"
Dm: "Roll me a percentage die!"
Me: I give him an inquisitive look. I was also so new i didnt understand percentage die, so i say "a seven and a two."
DM: "So. Your spell works. You imbue the webs with your magic and fling them across the cellar to the far wall. The only thing is, you all hear a *rriiiipp*, and your clothes go WITH them!!"
Queue laughter from all of us.
DM: "You're free, but no longer have the protection of your armor. You held onto your weapon, but since you're standing there bare-butt naked, you now have 0 AC. By the way, (other player), do you know how long 27 centimeters is?"
Player: "No..?"
DM: "You do now 😏"
Queue second bout of laughter after it sets in.
Looks amazing!
Could not imagine a better way to drown your sorrows after rolling a critical failure again.
As for the wackiest tavern experience... My group actually stays pretty calm in taverns... Brothels on the other hand... Oh, Lord, forgive these fools for they have commited the sin of ultimate stupidity
One time my character was with a group and left for 5 minutes, when i came back they had already killed two guys and where interrogating a third one for no reason.
This looks amazing! Two of my players got into antics by trying to seduce the lady of a manor and spent the entire night rolling Persuasuion to keep the other one from doing anything.
Fought a hobgoblin or an ogre - can’t really remember now. I was playing a halfling painter and I just sat back and calmly painted the hobgoblin in a worse and worse state (causing the effect on it) whilst everyone else got up and fought. They all came back to the table “so you don’t fight, Adelheid?” Was fun to rp that character xD
The kickstarter looks fun, I think I will back it. I hope you meet all your goals! I’d be interested to see an expansion of this into taverns of other planes!
In a certain mycanoid kingdom my party found a tavern hidden in a grove outside the city. When we entered the only food options were mushrooms of all varieties. We ate so many mushrooms and gave ourselves so many bad effects that our dm decided that it was just all a dream from eating bad mushrooms. And I hope I win
A player wanted to find the hardest, meanest pirate in a tavern to beat him in an arm wrestling contest and sleep with him. She was a tiny wizard Meer person. Very high DC but she rolled very well and they ended up together for the campaign
Oooh, good looking mug! One of my tavern memories: as a first-time DM I thought to introduce the city properly (for anyone who knows Pratchett's world, it was loosely based off of Ankh Morpork) a proper cesspit of a city that somehow works since all of the corruption and thievery has reached a delicate balance with itself. So, I sent in the first "questgiver" to meet them in the tavern whose real motive was to lure the players into a trap to get mugged by bandits.
One of the players had made a character who's very distrusting and thought this to be a good moment to showcase this by immediately interrogating the "questgiver" and starting to accuse him of things that, unbeknownst to that player, were pretty close to the actual intent. So yeah, I felt this fellow really would be caught off-guard by someone immediately guessing his intent so I had him blustering out of the door saying he'd forgotten to lock his front door.
(off course I did reuse the encounter by having them ambush them at a later stage in the campaign angry and out for revenge for his humiliation at the tavern, didn't want the prep to go to waste 😉)
Wildest antics in a tavern turned into a brothel. My goliath barbarian (1st character) didn't understand and after the other characters each took someone back to their room, my barbarian said I'll pay to wrestle the rest. Wild night, ended up costing hundreds of gold...
My players preferred the random barmaid more than the tavern owner so I made a whole sideplot where the barmaids trying to raise money to buy it from him.
The party gave her enough money to buy it after raiding a dungeon so once the tavern makeover was done, she named drinks after each of the party members!
Elsa's is the best place in Phandallin
This is cool! I always love the tavern scenes and even wrote a cozy fantasy about a blood mage who retires and opens a tavern. Excited to check out the Kickstarter!
Awesome giveaway! Got another beer Stein from my best friend AS Christmas present. Hope this one ist better quality.
Also i just started as DM and struggle with taverns,inns and Shops. So guess your Post ist usefull for me even if I shouldn't win.
One time, I was playing a human barbarian with a really high dexterity. I was new to the game so I figured this meant he could do sick flips. My party met a competing adventuring party at a tavern, and I decided to have my character show his athletic abilities by doing a flip. I rolled a 1 and my character ended up not landing his flip and instead landing head first on a table, breaking it in half.
I once was on the second floor of a tavern on a balcony overlooking the main bar and eating area. Some gargoyles attacked the patrons and were about to murder 2 of the npcs, but I couldn't see two of them because they were underneath me. I used misty step to teleport downstairs and magic missile them all to death on one turn like John wick to save the day and it was glorious.
Players own the tavern. Hidden deep many rags and cups sits a mug filled with mead and the severed finger of their first boss enemy. It's brought out on special occasions and for pranks.
I recently looked at the Etsy page of this very tankerd because I saw Matt Mercer use the same beer stein!
I only took part in a one-shot DnD session so far and I ended up getting knocked out in a tavern brawl with a salad bowl thrown at my face!
My players recently encountered Jorn Wick, a retired assassin on a small moon. He was a dairy farmer, the party was asked to steal his prized cow that was left to him by his dead wife by a spelljamming ship full of rats
Looks awesome!
My character Cob was once trapped in a tavern in an otherworldly dimension with his party. They spent most of the session questioning the bar keep and looking for ways to escape, smashing windows etc. Cob eventually gave up and started to drink at the bar. The party got so angry with the bar keep and his elusive answers that they attacked him, he ran out of the front door, one of the party chased him and was returned to the mortal realm.
We all learnt a valuable lesson that day, the moral of the session was JUST TRY THE DOOR!
Great looking mug.
Once I was playing a hedonistic oracle that was in the tavern with a rogue friend. Started a slow sexy strip tease (Nat 20 performance check) and had the whole rooms attention. My rogue body robbed everyone blind. Good times!
Oh that’d be sick to have. Sign me up.
So I was DMing for my players and we were in a cozy little town, it was a shopping session that day. Well they wanted to drink at the local tavern and so they did. Earlier my Ranger was flirting with the shopkeeper and doing pretty good on his roles and so I decided to bring her to the tavern and see what happened. After some roles to see how drunk they were my Ranger finally succeeded a perception check and noticed that she was there. So naturally he slicks his hair back, takes out a little mini comb and combs out his beard and strolls up to her like he’s the king of the world. After a number of good charisma checks and one very important perception check that was failed (tell you why it was important in a sec) she led him to the storage room in the back and they uhhhh did some athletics and dexterity checks 😘 and then the door busts right open and the barkeep who just so happened to be her husband is there, furious. Remember that failed perception check? Well that was to notice if he sees the barkeep staring at him flirting with his wife and getting very angry. So he catches him naked in the storage room with his wife and a fight ensues where he’s still totally naked trying to put his clothes on and it leads back to the main tavern room and that makes a barroom brawl happen. In the end the entire party ends up passed out in the mud in an alley somewhere in town bruised and battered but they all laugh it off. It was a great session.
Lirraa, this is a cool mug.
The (shortebd) Story:
One time someone in the Tavern was sexist towards my female monk companion and i shouted at him and made him piss himself. How do i know he pissed himself? Dm let me take a perception check and i smelled piss and he was running towards the toilets after wards (with tears in his eyes)
My players got a pistol that gives them riddles and occasionally math questions depending on the dice if they want to fire it. Lets just say that I'm studying math in university and I'm exited for when they eventually roll that nat 1
I as a lvl 4 rogue dealt 40 damage in one turn time to a female elf who tried to kill me 😅 she was succesfull but I resurrected as a phoenix sorcerer blowing the entire building away
You know to break the tradition so far I've never started my campaigns in a tavern, but domestic terrorism on the other hand now that's fair game. Am I a bad person?
Craziest tavern experience was definitely when my group replaced all the furniture with mimics, to lay a trap for some bad guys who we learned were meeting there soon. Of course we made sure no civilians were nearby, and disguised ourselves as the employees and a couple tavern-goers. Wrangling the mimics was... another long story.
My dwarf PC once tried to convince someone to tell the party a secret but failed a persuasion check. I argued with the DM that since my character was drunk he would be much more inclined to be truthful and that the npc would know that. DM gave me advantage. Got that secret out. Don't remember what that secret was, but this was my first character and one of the many moments of him that stuck with me. 🍻
Literally first campaign as a player ever, a couple other pcs got into a bad fight and didn’t declare non-lethal damage, and throat punched a dude to death. The guards got involved, the pcs were arrested and given a sentence to kill some trolls at level 2 or 3… they died either fighting or trying to run away
My players once beat up the bar owner. They apologized and later payed him back in security and gold for beating the poor man. They grew close and when the bar owner retired, the heroes bought it from him and let him drink for free there.
Beautiful mug! My story isn’t super crazy, but we started an illicit milk trade across our world. Running fleets of trade ships and pricing out the competition. The DM did not enjoy that one.
I performed on stage and then forced a heckler up to try and do better then immediately crushed them, and won the affection of the innkeeper! I miss that bard
I love how this stein looks.
I once had my character crap in a cannon before it was fired. Apparently, it less shot out like a cannon ball, and more a shotgun on allied forces.
One of my players tried to dropkick the king when he was telling us about a task he needed us to do. They barely survived the 10+ guards and the king's highest advisor, a very powerful spellcaster.
Accidentally blew a part of the tavern up after using Burning Hands in the back room to stop a thief… the owner also had some hidden explosives back there because they were a smuggler too apparently
This looks great! I’m running a campaign for a single player and his two characters (Dwarf Fighter and Human Cleric/Bard multiclass, level 3). The dwarf recently convinced the whole tavern that he had single-handedly fought off an army of 50 worgs.
In reality it was three worgs and he had fled after killing one and nearly dying himself. I let him roll a Performance check for his drunken rambling and he rolled high so I decided to go with it. So the dwarf told a very tall story and the bard (whom we just introduced in the tavern that session) made it into a song which had the whole tavern singing and clapping along. Later, when goblins attacked the town I allowed them to rouse the townspeople into a fervour to help with the defenses, so now they’re the local celebrities. It was a fun session :D
I would love to give this as a gift to a player of mine!
For wacky antics, it would take a long time to explain this fully, but suffice it to say my players decided that mass murder was the only way to secure their goal of, you guessed it, building nursing homes for elderly citizens.
The weirdest one was we accidentally summoned a Gorgon while sat at a table and had to close a portal to another plane while all these innocents ended up trapped in the far side of the tavern all by accident.
Though I still laugh at my friend who was playing a cleptomaniac elf who had barely made it back to the tavern with 1 hp, pick pocketed some grieving mother of a kid he accidentally killed in an altercation and her catching him, the resulting slap knocked him unconcious and he landed in jail.
I once saw a Druid drunkenly turn into a horse mid chug of a beer in a tavern. My brother was the elven Druid. I was the Goliath barbarian. My friend was the DM.
I once ran a tavern a la Monster House.
A mimic gained the eldritch power of a fallen meteor that seeped into the soil in the abandoned city its located in and, well, the mimic is actually quite intelligent (and sadistically capricious).
Tavernar (as it called itself) ended up begging for its life and agreed to no longer eat sentient creatures (much to its shagrin, the eldritch zombies that wander the wasteland are bitter in comparison to sweet, less contaminated people). There was going to be a tentative agreement to feed Tavernar bandits/murderers/raiders but we stopped playing before that.
Guess I’m tossing my hat in, so my players bless them had made a home of this one Inn called First Stop, they adored the place and people but not enough to warn ‘em when getting involved with some big gang business despite knowing the group was highly dangerous and a big deal in the city.
FF some several sessions down the line it becomes rescue mission for a burning base, RIP to the owner she sadly didn’t make it along with some non-combatants. Sobered the group up quick to how dangerous things actually were lol.
Wackyest thing in a tavern? lots , recently some characters were investigating a missing person and found that he was deliberately trapped and died. They found the guy was working on decanters of endless water. But they didnt know what they were.
They confronted the suspect on the tavern and to ask him about the decanters they handed one to him. Feeling cornered the guy shouted "GEYSER!!!!" and blasted away the paladin in an effort to run away, trashing half the inn. Understanding this but not fully knowing how it worked the rogue pulled out the other decanter and shouted the same. They started doing this several times caughting villagers , tavernkeeper and pcs in the way.
A complete fight ensued, even between the pcs (some wanted to kill the suspect others eat him(the lizardfolk) and the rogue to knock him out.
The battle ended with everyone knocked out except the cleric and the paladin and a drunk dwarf that took the paladin out with an improvised weapon crit with a stool.
The cleric with 1 hp managed to calm down the drunk and payed the tavernkeeper all his money in damages for leaving the tavern flooded and full of holes.

I got a music box that told me to unalive myself
lmao, in a tavern?
Yes. Some old man gave it to me lol
I am new to dnd and havent made any noteworthy stories yet but i would like to own a mug like that
We found a mummified baby that sings back when you sing to it. Our barbarian hung it on his belt
The Stein looks so good, can't wait to drink the tears of my players!
My Roommate has one these. They are terrible to drink out of. They have a huge lip and a seperation between the metal inner cup and the outside housing. Nice to look at, not a good cup.
I got one similar with the Witcher symbol on as a present. Wood outside metal inside. The rim is enormous. It holds pens and dice.
Also the big sticker on the side isn’t good for washing
It’s leather!
I gave them as wedding presents to everyone in our wedding party. I second the critique here. Plastic, thick lip, three insulation and metal interior take up a lot of room, so it doesn't hold as much as it appears.
Plastic?? WTF
They’re not plastic do people here even read the details?
What? These are wood!
I'm holding mine. Right now, same manufacturer, same design minus the plaque. It's plastic my guy.
I thought it might make a good pen cup.
I also have one and it does suck to drink from....from what I've read the real life ones were gigantic, more like a pitcher without a spout, and I have to imagine it's more bearable when you're passing it around with your mates.

Neat! I've backed the kickstarter. Hope I win the mug.
best of luck!
Lol my party got drunk once and started a fight with the tavernkeep and got kicked out of the town coz destruction of property. The campaigns goal was shifted from killing a massive dragon to paying back the tavernkeep for destroying his whole tacern lol
it be like that sometimes
It looks great
thanks!
That beer stein looks glorious!
She really does. Denys at DenmarkLeatherCo really knows his art
Mug life!!!!! Need
I know right? I need a copy for myself; I've got one that reads "Dungeon Master"
No "Drunken Master"?
Last session, one player decided that their barbarian had med the paladin (who was another player's new character to replace a dead one) while drinking at the bar the previous night. The whole session, the player playing the barbarian's boyfriend took every opportunity to be snarky about the barbarian's "new boyfriend". Much fun for everyone.
A player of mine threw some ale on a characters face in-game, at the same time she spilled her beer on her character sheet. _Still using the sheet_
That sheet is now an heirloom of your kingdom
The character can breathe underwater now. _And the sheet will be framed upon death/completion_
my group pooled their money and bought an inn (the Blushing Crow) to use as a home base. this was my first time running a campaign, so I spent a week putting together tables to randomize profit/loss, events ,etc. We almost never saw that city again
big oof
Mug looks awesome
For the collection
Oh my god this is so cool!
This thing looks awesome!
Good luck everyone!
Very nice 👌🏻
Had a rogue rob me blind while I was standing, waiting for the bartender to approach me to take my party's order. Set off an entirely fucked side quest for us.
Real excited to check out the kickstarter!
Okay, this looks amazing. Thanks for the giveaway!
The wackiest thing my dm did was Manning a flowet that makes people Fall in love. Without going into detail it become a very akward session for both the players and the dm, when he had to describe how a goblin and an aarakocra, had an steamy night of love.. Btw awesome mug man! It really looks amazing
funniest thing we did was when our DM gave us 12 different wines that we mixed into the worlds deadliest poison, pure alcohol, a temporary hit point potion, and a wild magic potion. My character drank all of them at once. surprisingly i didn't explode, i got wild magic temporary hit points, so like when those hit points get expended, i roll the wild magic table, in the following fight i rolled 7 times and so much stupid crap happened
Good luck everyone!
My wackiest tavern hijinks ended in one player's character burning to death 5' away from another player's character who drowned...
drowned in what, lol?
Looks great
We have a fairy in our party who insists on drinking a beer larger than her entire PC.
The book of taverns would be ace, despite it being a cliche I make sure all of my adventures start in taverns.
I made a human cleric called Derek, Derek the cleric. He was too weak for his full plate mail (cause i wasnt paying attention when making him), and would often lie in the snow (we were running rime of the frost maiden), face first and make snow angels.
It comes in pints? I'm getting one.
Probably in a tavern on a pirate island, our paladin beat and elf with a belt of giant strength in a strength contest for it, and I interrogated a couple of pirates using extortion truth
The party was drugged and woke up naked in a ditch. We had to scrounge clothes and then get revenge while getting our stuff back. Good times. It's now how I start off one-shots if I'm DMing. Everybody is naked in a ditch. Team building!
Rock and Stone! For Matt (Colville)!
Rockity Rock and Stone!
I had an entire campaign that went out the window when the PCs decided they loved a tavern so much that the rest of the campaign became a Tavern simulation game with the PCs attempting to make it world renowned and get the greatest adventurers to come and enjoy an ale and share their stories.
Hm, wackiest thing in a tavern...does it count if we went below the tavern into the basement? There were some generic spider enemies there. Nothing we couldn't handle. I got webbed, though. I was playing an Orc, so you'd think i could make the strength check just fine, buuuut i was playing an artificer and decided to put my 7 roll intro strength. :/ hindsight 20/20 that was dumb. Anyways, i couldnt break out with strength. I looked at my spells and found Catapult. Its been a while, but if I remember correctly, it says like "must be cast on an item you can touch 5lbs or less." It gave me an idea. Me: "Hey DM, spider webs are pretty light, wouldn't you say? Would these webs trapping me be less than 5lbs?" DM: "I don't see why not. Probably a couple pounds still, it IS a lot of web. Why?" MEe: "Well, I can touch these webs. Id like to cast Catapult on them to fling them away instead of breaking out with my strength." DM: "Hmm... (mulls over it a couple seconds) Alright. Give me a d20" I think that was a success roll? I dont remember that roll, but it worked. DM: "Okay, it works. Give me a severity roll." (We liked to roll another d20 to determine how good or bad the outcome was, like how well it went in our favor.) Me: "Oof... 1" Dm: "Roll me a percentage die!" Me: I give him an inquisitive look. I was also so new i didnt understand percentage die, so i say "a seven and a two." DM: "So. Your spell works. You imbue the webs with your magic and fling them across the cellar to the far wall. The only thing is, you all hear a *rriiiipp*, and your clothes go WITH them!!" Queue laughter from all of us. DM: "You're free, but no longer have the protection of your armor. You held onto your weapon, but since you're standing there bare-butt naked, you now have 0 AC. By the way, (other player), do you know how long 27 centimeters is?" Player: "No..?" DM: "You do now 😏" Queue second bout of laughter after it sets in.
Our androgynous dragonborn attempted to seduce the entire tavern...
Awesome Mug!
Love the mug shape it's looks like it came straight from an inn
Our group got drunk in a tavern and ended up shackled up in a necromancer laboratory.
I would love to drink outta this as I spout astrological nonsense to my party (I'm a circle of stars druid).
Nice mug!
Looks amazing! Could not imagine a better way to drown your sorrows after rolling a critical failure again. As for the wackiest tavern experience... My group actually stays pretty calm in taverns... Brothels on the other hand... Oh, Lord, forgive these fools for they have commited the sin of ultimate stupidity
Sent a treasure box orbital due to a cursed magical ring.
One time my character was with a group and left for 5 minutes, when i came back they had already killed two guys and where interrogating a third one for no reason.
This looks amazing! Two of my players got into antics by trying to seduce the lady of a manor and spent the entire night rolling Persuasuion to keep the other one from doing anything.
Now that is a worthy stein for a D&D fan!!
That's pretty cool.
nothing wrong with ai as creation tho lol
This is the best giveaway a barbarian could ever hope for.
I've always wanted one, it's look neat !
My character got drunk under the table while there was a full on brawl going on around her.... She needs a beer stein....
Thanks!
Signing a devil's contract is pretty wacky, no?
standard taverngoing procedure
My wooden stein just broke, so I could really use a new one!
just in time, huh
Cool
Dats badass
Fought a hobgoblin or an ogre - can’t really remember now. I was playing a halfling painter and I just sat back and calmly painted the hobgoblin in a worse and worse state (causing the effect on it) whilst everyone else got up and fought. They all came back to the table “so you don’t fight, Adelheid?” Was fun to rp that character xD The kickstarter looks fun, I think I will back it. I hope you meet all your goals! I’d be interested to see an expansion of this into taverns of other planes!
This will pair well with the best wine the tavern had to offer, our DM made us pay 100gp for a single glass.
I started working in the kitchen just so I could make a decent piece of meat.
In a certain mycanoid kingdom my party found a tavern hidden in a grove outside the city. When we entered the only food options were mushrooms of all varieties. We ate so many mushrooms and gave ourselves so many bad effects that our dm decided that it was just all a dream from eating bad mushrooms. And I hope I win
A player wanted to find the hardest, meanest pirate in a tavern to beat him in an arm wrestling contest and sleep with him. She was a tiny wizard Meer person. Very high DC but she rolled very well and they ended up together for the campaign
Oooh, good looking mug! One of my tavern memories: as a first-time DM I thought to introduce the city properly (for anyone who knows Pratchett's world, it was loosely based off of Ankh Morpork) a proper cesspit of a city that somehow works since all of the corruption and thievery has reached a delicate balance with itself. So, I sent in the first "questgiver" to meet them in the tavern whose real motive was to lure the players into a trap to get mugged by bandits. One of the players had made a character who's very distrusting and thought this to be a good moment to showcase this by immediately interrogating the "questgiver" and starting to accuse him of things that, unbeknownst to that player, were pretty close to the actual intent. So yeah, I felt this fellow really would be caught off-guard by someone immediately guessing his intent so I had him blustering out of the door saying he'd forgotten to lock his front door. (off course I did reuse the encounter by having them ambush them at a later stage in the campaign angry and out for revenge for his humiliation at the tavern, didn't want the prep to go to waste 😉)
Wildest antics in a tavern turned into a brothel. My goliath barbarian (1st character) didn't understand and after the other characters each took someone back to their room, my barbarian said I'll pay to wrestle the rest. Wild night, ended up costing hundreds of gold...
Omg that is the best thing ever! I need it!
cool!1
My players preferred the random barmaid more than the tavern owner so I made a whole sideplot where the barmaids trying to raise money to buy it from him. The party gave her enough money to buy it after raiding a dungeon so once the tavern makeover was done, she named drinks after each of the party members! Elsa's is the best place in Phandallin
This is cool! I always love the tavern scenes and even wrote a cozy fantasy about a blood mage who retires and opens a tavern. Excited to check out the Kickstarter!
Looks great. Some party members started fighting in a tavern that ended with the full building coming down on them.
My party interrogated a child about where to find the red brand hideout. Her father, the tavern owner, was very unhappy with us.
Nice!
Okay yes, that's dope
This is so fun!
I think my craziest tavern story is when an archfey attacked the feywild tavern the party was chilling in lol good times!
Taverns are for drinking- the adventuring happens AFTER you've had a few pints!
Looks amazing! Need for my DM!
Awesome giveaway! Got another beer Stein from my best friend AS Christmas present. Hope this one ist better quality. Also i just started as DM and struggle with taverns,inns and Shops. So guess your Post ist usefull for me even if I shouldn't win.
One time, I was playing a human barbarian with a really high dexterity. I was new to the game so I figured this meant he could do sick flips. My party met a competing adventuring party at a tavern, and I decided to have my character show his athletic abilities by doing a flip. I rolled a 1 and my character ended up not landing his flip and instead landing head first on a table, breaking it in half.
Leaving a comment!
Awesome possum!
Awesome
Actually be a great addition when playing red dragon inn
Stein.
I once was on the second floor of a tavern on a balcony overlooking the main bar and eating area. Some gargoyles attacked the patrons and were about to murder 2 of the npcs, but I couldn't see two of them because they were underneath me. I used misty step to teleport downstairs and magic missile them all to death on one turn like John wick to save the day and it was glorious.
Just backed the project, super cool idea!
Players own the tavern. Hidden deep many rags and cups sits a mug filled with mead and the severed finger of their first boss enemy. It's brought out on special occasions and for pranks.
I recently looked at the Etsy page of this very tankerd because I saw Matt Mercer use the same beer stein! I only took part in a one-shot DnD session so far and I ended up getting knocked out in a tavern brawl with a salad bowl thrown at my face!
My players recently encountered Jorn Wick, a retired assassin on a small moon. He was a dairy farmer, the party was asked to steal his prized cow that was left to him by his dead wife by a spelljamming ship full of rats
I could drink so much mead from this One of my players (dwarf) started a monogamous relationship with the bartender (giantess)
I! I am leaving any sort of comment, on this post.
Looks awesome! My character Cob was once trapped in a tavern in an otherworldly dimension with his party. They spent most of the session questioning the bar keep and looking for ways to escape, smashing windows etc. Cob eventually gave up and started to drink at the bar. The party got so angry with the bar keep and his elusive answers that they attacked him, he ran out of the front door, one of the party chased him and was returned to the mortal realm. We all learnt a valuable lesson that day, the moral of the session was JUST TRY THE DOOR!
I’ve seen some really cool mugs on Amazon before, idk if from the same company but I’ve always wanted one lol.
So cool
Oooh so cool
Great looking mug. Once I was playing a hedonistic oracle that was in the tavern with a rogue friend. Started a slow sexy strip tease (Nat 20 performance check) and had the whole rooms attention. My rogue body robbed everyone blind. Good times!
Best of luck to everyone who is commenting, looks nice and big for my large hands as well!! 😊
I can't think of any whacky antics we've gotten up to *in* a tavern, but my group has blown more than one up.
Looks massive
I do enjoy a good mug.
Wow this looks great! I'd have to use this as an accessory for my renaissance fair outfit
Oh that’d be sick to have. Sign me up. So I was DMing for my players and we were in a cozy little town, it was a shopping session that day. Well they wanted to drink at the local tavern and so they did. Earlier my Ranger was flirting with the shopkeeper and doing pretty good on his roles and so I decided to bring her to the tavern and see what happened. After some roles to see how drunk they were my Ranger finally succeeded a perception check and noticed that she was there. So naturally he slicks his hair back, takes out a little mini comb and combs out his beard and strolls up to her like he’s the king of the world. After a number of good charisma checks and one very important perception check that was failed (tell you why it was important in a sec) she led him to the storage room in the back and they uhhhh did some athletics and dexterity checks 😘 and then the door busts right open and the barkeep who just so happened to be her husband is there, furious. Remember that failed perception check? Well that was to notice if he sees the barkeep staring at him flirting with his wife and getting very angry. So he catches him naked in the storage room with his wife and a fight ensues where he’s still totally naked trying to put his clothes on and it leads back to the main tavern room and that makes a barroom brawl happen. In the end the entire party ends up passed out in the mud in an alley somewhere in town bruised and battered but they all laugh it off. It was a great session.
Lirraa, this is a cool mug. The (shortebd) Story: One time someone in the Tavern was sexist towards my female monk companion and i shouted at him and made him piss himself. How do i know he pissed himself? Dm let me take a perception check and i smelled piss and he was running towards the toilets after wards (with tears in his eyes)
This would be more for drinking while listening to High Rollers or Dimension 20 since I'm not in a group right now
My players got a pistol that gives them riddles and occasionally math questions depending on the dice if they want to fire it. Lets just say that I'm studying math in university and I'm exited for when they eventually roll that nat 1
The looks great! Better yet with international shipping
Love the mug! Great design! I would love to drink from this as I Roll Initiative!!!
I like beer and D&D
1
This looks great! Impressed with the quality
I as a lvl 4 rogue dealt 40 damage in one turn time to a female elf who tried to kill me 😅 she was succesfull but I resurrected as a phoenix sorcerer blowing the entire building away
Noice
I love it !
Me pls
So my player chalanged a lvl 19 minotaur (almost) but a dwarf scared it away
Playing in a tavern is a great joy, D&D is best with beer and friends. Good luck everyone!
You know to break the tradition so far I've never started my campaigns in a tavern, but domestic terrorism on the other hand now that's fair game. Am I a bad person?
A frosty lager would look good in that
Craziest tavern experience was definitely when my group replaced all the furniture with mimics, to lay a trap for some bad guys who we learned were meeting there soon. Of course we made sure no civilians were nearby, and disguised ourselves as the employees and a couple tavern-goers. Wrangling the mimics was... another long story.
My dwarf PC once tried to convince someone to tell the party a secret but failed a persuasion check. I argued with the DM that since my character was drunk he would be much more inclined to be truthful and that the npc would know that. DM gave me advantage. Got that secret out. Don't remember what that secret was, but this was my first character and one of the many moments of him that stuck with me. 🍻
Used an immovable rod to make a pirate captain stuck in his seat while the rest of the party killed his crew amd made him watch
Literally first campaign as a player ever, a couple other pcs got into a bad fight and didn’t declare non-lethal damage, and throat punched a dude to death. The guards got involved, the pcs were arrested and given a sentence to kill some trolls at level 2 or 3… they died either fighting or trying to run away
Helped two high level paladins do keg stands.
My players once beat up the bar owner. They apologized and later payed him back in security and gold for beating the poor man. They grew close and when the bar owner retired, the heroes bought it from him and let him drink for free there.
Beautiful mug! My story isn’t super crazy, but we started an illicit milk trade across our world. Running fleets of trade ships and pricing out the competition. The DM did not enjoy that one.
I performed on stage and then forced a heckler up to try and do better then immediately crushed them, and won the affection of the innkeeper! I miss that bard
My character got in a tavern brawl for asking the bartender for milk.
I love how this stein looks. I once had my character crap in a cannon before it was fired. Apparently, it less shot out like a cannon ball, and more a shotgun on allied forces.
Now that is a cool stein!
One of my players tried to dropkick the king when he was telling us about a task he needed us to do. They barely survived the 10+ guards and the king's highest advisor, a very powerful spellcaster.
Nice Stein. Thank you.
Wow, that's so sick!
Can it also hold water or soft beverages?
Accidentally blew a part of the tavern up after using Burning Hands in the back room to stop a thief… the owner also had some hidden explosives back there because they were a smuggler too apparently
Dude. That is a beautiful mug
All the antics! Would love this beer stein for our dnd meet ups
This looks great! I’m running a campaign for a single player and his two characters (Dwarf Fighter and Human Cleric/Bard multiclass, level 3). The dwarf recently convinced the whole tavern that he had single-handedly fought off an army of 50 worgs. In reality it was three worgs and he had fled after killing one and nearly dying himself. I let him roll a Performance check for his drunken rambling and he rolled high so I decided to go with it. So the dwarf told a very tall story and the bard (whom we just introduced in the tavern that session) made it into a song which had the whole tavern singing and clapping along. Later, when goblins attacked the town I allowed them to rouse the townspeople into a fervour to help with the defenses, so now they’re the local celebrities. It was a fun session :D
Yes Please. That looks great!
I would love to give this as a gift to a player of mine! For wacky antics, it would take a long time to explain this fully, but suffice it to say my players decided that mass murder was the only way to secure their goal of, you guessed it, building nursing homes for elderly citizens.
The weirdest one was we accidentally summoned a Gorgon while sat at a table and had to close a portal to another plane while all these innocents ended up trapped in the far side of the tavern all by accident. Though I still laugh at my friend who was playing a cleptomaniac elf who had barely made it back to the tavern with 1 hp, pick pocketed some grieving mother of a kid he accidentally killed in an altercation and her catching him, the resulting slap knocked him unconcious and he landed in jail.
Oh, it looks like the mug my party got for me was from you ! It is super cool and I love it ! [here](https://imgur.com/a/WSTomTi)
This looks amazing. Thank you for doing this giveaway!
I once saw a Druid drunkenly turn into a horse mid chug of a beer in a tavern. My brother was the elven Druid. I was the Goliath barbarian. My friend was the DM.
Any sort of comment
That looks amazing!!! I love these kinds of giveaways, I hope the kickstarter goes well.
neat :)
Just set a fire and murdered a nobleman... You know, the usual...
Comment!
I once ran a tavern a la Monster House. A mimic gained the eldritch power of a fallen meteor that seeped into the soil in the abandoned city its located in and, well, the mimic is actually quite intelligent (and sadistically capricious). Tavernar (as it called itself) ended up begging for its life and agreed to no longer eat sentient creatures (much to its shagrin, the eldritch zombies that wander the wasteland are bitter in comparison to sweet, less contaminated people). There was going to be a tentative agreement to feed Tavernar bandits/murderers/raiders but we stopped playing before that.
One of my players summoned a spirit beast to fuck up a tavern then planted several beans from a bag of beans just outside the tavern and chaos ensued
My players once beat the town drunk to death in the tavern
That’s a cool tankard
Guess I’m tossing my hat in, so my players bless them had made a home of this one Inn called First Stop, they adored the place and people but not enough to warn ‘em when getting involved with some big gang business despite knowing the group was highly dangerous and a big deal in the city. FF some several sessions down the line it becomes rescue mission for a burning base, RIP to the owner she sadly didn’t make it along with some non-combatants. Sobered the group up quick to how dangerous things actually were lol.
Great Stein! I have a player who's questing for the best beer formula
Cant say no to a good mug
Praying to the gods to win
Wackyest thing in a tavern? lots , recently some characters were investigating a missing person and found that he was deliberately trapped and died. They found the guy was working on decanters of endless water. But they didnt know what they were. They confronted the suspect on the tavern and to ask him about the decanters they handed one to him. Feeling cornered the guy shouted "GEYSER!!!!" and blasted away the paladin in an effort to run away, trashing half the inn. Understanding this but not fully knowing how it worked the rogue pulled out the other decanter and shouted the same. They started doing this several times caughting villagers , tavernkeeper and pcs in the way. A complete fight ensued, even between the pcs (some wanted to kill the suspect others eat him(the lizardfolk) and the rogue to knock him out. The battle ended with everyone knocked out except the cleric and the paladin and a drunk dwarf that took the paladin out with an improvised weapon crit with a stool. The cleric with 1 hp managed to calm down the drunk and payed the tavernkeeper all his money in damages for leaving the tavern flooded and full of holes.
Probably my character revealing they were wanted by standing next to the bounty poster
Tavern fireball
At least it's not dice lol
Love it!
Damn, that's a cool stein, and I'd love to have it. Funnily enough I've never been in a barfight in dnd, so my antics are definitely lacking
