ralphmeltonThis random tavern generator from Wizards of the Coast is just silly.
Check out this tavern it generated:
In case it's not obvious, let me point out a few odd things:
- this tavern is run by a 9th-level ranger. A city of 5-12,000 people might have one or two 9th-level rangers. Doesn't this ranger have something better to do?
- Look at the menu. If you're able to serve real dragon turtle omelets and triceratops steak, you're not going to price it at the same price as 'whole duck'.
