Tavern cards is a gorgeous deck of full-color playing cards that you can use to randomly generate a tavern, then win at poker while you're there. There are the standard 52 cards as well as three jokers. 

You can play any normal card game with these cards. Or, you can draw a handful and use those to randomly generate a tavern. 

All 55 cards have original full-color art. You can use the pictures as inspiration for your tavern, or just hand them to your players and say, "This is what you see." Many of the cards feature characters which you can use as NPC portraits.

The cards also have some cool features like tarot-style numbering. Each card will have some representation of the number and the suit hidden in the art. See if you can find the four diamonds on the Burly Bouncers card, or the heart hidden in the portrait of the Dashing Rogue.

Each card also had an adjective on one side and a noun on the other. Combine any adjective with any noun on the cards you draw for a tavern name like the Prancing Pony, Drunken Goblin, Daring Hostler or Crimson Duchess.

Each suit represents something different about the tavern.

hearts: drinks; spades: amenities; clubs: events; diamonds: mics;

For example, you might draw Four of Diamonds - Burly Bouncers, Ten of Spades - Lavish Dinner, Four of Spades - Cheap Dinner, Ten of Diamonds - Very Crowded, Two of Clubs - Minor Brawl, and Eight of Hearts - Champagne. What does this tell us?

Well, this is probably a classy place since they have lavish dinners and champagne. But they also have cheap dinners, so it caters to all types. That's likely why they have the burly bouncers - to keep the rougher types in line. That minor brawl that just broke out isn't going to last long. I hope none of the protagonists got caught up in it, or they're likely to be thrown out along with the brawlers and not welcomed back in any time soon.

Hey Chaotic Shiny,
I am very interested in your cards, Is there a video demostration of this deck by any chance?

Unfortunately, there is not! Video is not one of my skills. But I can get you more pictures of the cards if there's something specific you want to see.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
