Every local has its legend

In England, we call pubs ‘locals’, and every local has its legend. Haunted, hunted, or generally terrorised, many fantasy taverns are in need of the right adventuring party to come along and save the day.

Inside each 5e-compatible Epic Encounters: Local Legends set, you’ll find everything you need to run epic encounters with fabled beasties. They’re designed to work with the Tavern Kit, but can easily fit into any roleplaying campaign.
