Your D&D Campaign's Medieval Tavern is WRONG

The medieval tavern is a darling of many fantasy and TTRPG stories. It's where the party often meets and gets their first little quests. However, have you ever wondered how "authentic" that medieval tavern is? Can every member of the party get a room? Would Gandalf really want to meet us at the Prancing Pony? How many rooms does a tavern need to become an inn? We'll have a look at how you can make your TTRPG, D&D or video game a little bit more historically... grounded. #DnD #ttrpg #history #foodhistory #fantasy Website: www.intaberna.co.uk Bluesky: @intaberna.bsky.social Instagram: instagram.com/in.taberna.qs/ Twitter:   / in_taberna   (not really using this anymore) Sources and literature: Codex Buranus & Forme of Cury Before the Fire.
