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.
Because we believe inns can be more than places to get your next quest - and running roleplaying games should be rewarding, not exhausting - we've given them our 'Epic Encounters' treatment. That means we've taken our tried-and-tested method for creating truly interesting pubs and boxed it for your convenience, ready to slot into any fantasy roleplaying campaign!

Inside the Tavern Kit, you’ll find 10 unique taverns bursting with plot hooks. Each tavern comes with a detailed, colour-illustrated interior and exterior map for your party to pore over as they plot their next move.
With our Inncounters guide book, also part of the Tavern Kit, you’ll seem like an expert in fantasy taverns across the land! Whichever pub your party lands in will be full of life, possibilities, and guaranteed to offer a good time.
A wide variety of taverns means a wide variety of clientele! Populate your pub from 60 unique NPC’s from the Tavern Kit, each with portraits, backstory, and adventure hooks, and all fully-statted. Who’s getting the round, then?
Do your players need to take a load off after an intense quest? Perhaps they’re on the hunt for a bargain, or a risky bet? Then you’re in luck! Every tavern has a unique, favourite mini-game, featured in the Tavern Kit. And with 10 illustrated play mats and a full set of rules, you can bring them to your table!
Whether it’s a bit of fun to while the hours, or something cooked up by the locals to catch out the unwary, these tavern games will add some extra spice to your encounters.
