Downstairs at the Tavern

Great stories come about in Taverns. Here, heroes gather. Here, secrets get sold. Here, we fall in love. 

But this is not just a story about the heroes. This is the story about who they come back to - the place they've turned into their home. This the story of the Tavern itself - it's staff, it's walls. 

Downstairs at the Tavern is a Penned to Good Society (PTGS) Game ; specifically based on a certain expansion called Downstairs at the Abbey. In this expansion; players flip between playing the household and the staff of a particular home, taking place in Regency England. Downstairs at the Tavern reworks this premise - players will gather and flip between playing the staff of an adventuring groups' favorite tavern, and those adventurers themselves. It aims to tell the hidden stories, show the daily lives - of those big and small, and demonstrate how important any one person can be. It is inspired by the fantasy genre, and draws on the reader's knowledge to supplement this - but an intense knowledge of the genre is not needed to play. A copy of Good Society, however, is needed to play this, or at least a basic understanding of the rules.
