What started out as a review for Mead & Mayhem turned into a bit more information on Gambling & Drinking & Carousing resources.
Mead & Mayhem
Mead & Mayhem is a tavern fight supplement compatible with most old-school fantasy roleplaying games. Within this product you'll find:
- use for your big lump of thirty sided awesome (D30)
- simple alternative fist fight damage system
- D30 table of 40 entries for tavern and pub fights
- things might escalate to chaos and mayhem
Next time your players start to have their own fun in a local tavern open this PDF and see what happens...
Designed OSR in mind but we think this can easily be used with any system as an idea source. GET IT HERE! It's pay what you want
First off I need to get me a D30! So I'll be off to the local store to grab one and Munchkin at the same time (as I desperately want to play that over Christmas). This little module is going to have a place at my gaming table. More often than not adventures start out with "well your in a tavern and you are met by a mysterious person", etc. One of my players has been going on and on about wanting to drink mead while we play. With this module and a few other things I've found I should be able to create a bar scenario without too much thought on my end. I'd like to also incorporate some basic dice gambling games and of course some music as well.
Here are a few other resources I've found this morning to help with the atmosphere.

The series starts with Volume One: Tavern Tales. This supplement features a dozen fantasy taverns filled with ale-drinking, dice-rolling, plotting and planning NPCs willing to interact with your party. Not to mention plenty of mini-quests to throw into your game in order to provide a needed break from your main story, or just to buy you some time to plan out.
This product contains complete histories for 12 fantasy taverns. Each tavern includes important NPCs, seed ideas, and mini-quests. This module is pay what you want on drivethrurpg.com

Alright that should get you started on a crazy drunken brawl that might lead to adventure, or at the very least a sore head!
And if you need some actual mead, I suggest grabbing this kit from amazon! I've been making beer on and off for the last few years. When I first started I actually bottled them in old beer bottles, including stubby's at one point. However its a bit of a royal pain in the arse to clean the bottles and cap them. What I ended up doing is using is 1 & 2 litre pop bottles, just for the ease of filling them. My American friends may not know what a stubby is see image on the left.
