Barkeep on the Borderlands

The Fortress Monarch was poisoned, and drained the royal coffers to pay for a powerful antidote, but it never reached his lips. The caravaners say he must have gotten mixed up with deliveries to the fortress’s many pubs for the Chaos Bacchanalia celebrations.

Are you ready to search for the antidote and put your liver health at serious risk?

Winner of the 2023 Ennies Award for best supplement to a role-playing game, Barkeep on the Borderlands is an extraordinary and exhilarating fantasy adventure in the midst of a week of crazy celebrations, which turns the usual cliché of starting the adventure in a tavern upside down: in fact, it takes place exclusively in taverns!

The group of adventurers, named the Merry Brigade, will visit the pubs and taverns of the Fortress, encountering a series of off-the-wall scenarios along the way, trying to retrieve the antidote for the Monarch before the end of the Chaos Bacchanalia.

The “menu” in the manual includes:

• An exhilarating adventure adaptable to any role-playing game.
• 20 different taverns including a speakeasy run by cultists, a gambling den for Coboldi gangsters, or a dating club for criminals looking for a partner.
• 36 backgrounds to integrate characters within the adventure setting.
• 5 factions vying for control of the fortress that characters can interact with, including a mage academy, a chaos cult, and an NGO run by goblins.
• Over 100 color illustrations and 100 random tables for a huge variety of absurd situations for players.
