Halfling Tavern

Tucked beneath low beams and warm amber lanterns, this cozy halfling-owned tavern hums with quiet intrigue. The main floor is an inviting sprawl of worn wooden tables and oversized barrels doubling as drink stands, all arranged around a massive keg behind the bar. Along the outer walls, rich velvet curtains veil a ring of VIP booths, each one concealing patrons who prefer their conversations private… or so they believe. Behind those curtains, narrow gaps in the stonework serve as unseen ears for Winn, the tavern’s ever-smiling proprietor. While mugs are filled and laughter flows freely, secrets trickle through the cracks; collected, catalogued, and quietly sold by the true merchant of this establishment: information.

This week's collaboration is with Morvold Press who inspired this scene from their tavern map titled Winn's Hollow!

LAUNCHING SOON: A Chance for More Curse of Strahd Content!

For years, my Curse of Strahd scene pack has been haunting the Patreon Shop, but now I’m planning something far more ambitious—a new phase for Ravenloft—and I need your help to bring it to life!

In less than a month, I’m launching a Kickstarter to create an expanded and upgraded version of the pack, filled with new content, more immersion, and full VTT integration—but it will only happen if the project gets fully backed.

Next Week Preview:

Perched above the tide, this coastal stronghold keeps watch over the sea. Traders pass through its narrow streets, salt clings to every stone, and the wind never stops moving. It’s a place of purpose and of quiet resilience.
