tavern names

Start with “The…” then roll on the following tables.

Some names will suit certain localities better, such as near a maritime dock, or an out-of-the-way place only visited by local farmers.

If you get something that doesn’t suit, just roll again or pick something near it that strikes your fancy. Pretty much any name works if you grab two words at random and join them with an and. Names starting with the same letter or similar sounds are easy to say and work well.

Try and come up with a reason for the name and decide if it’s true or just a legend. It could be used as an adventuring hook and inspire PCs or NPCs to investigate.

Pre

Prepend the result from the Item table with a descriptive word.

Append

Append an emotion if it suits (eg The Kings Lament)

Item

To use the below table, roll a d6 three times (or three diff colours at the same time and declaring one d6 as high, one as middle and one as low, or even just push them into a line) and instead of adding them you concatenate the numbers

Text in brackets provide suggestions and variations to use, but can be ignored if it doesn’t work.

generate

Create the above list with:

for i in {1..6}{1..6}{1..6} ; do echo $i ; done
