Welcome to the official wiki of the Tavern Tales RPG system (KS Launch Edition)! This is a fanmade project to provide an alternate source of information on the Tavern Tales roleplaying game system, based on the ruleset available when the original Kickstarter was launched. That version of Tavern Tales, the Tavern Tales logo, and any other associated artwork were orginally © 2014-2017 by [mailto:taverntalesrpg@gmail.com Dabney Bailey], and has since been released under the Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 license according to this update to the Kickstarter page.

What is Tavern Tales?
Tavern Tales is a fantasy-themed roleplaying game with the following features:

Endless Character Creation Options and Flexibility


"Tavern Tales' incredible flexible character creation system allows you to build the character you always wished you could play, without jumping through any hoops. If you can imagine it, you can play it."

Equal Emphasis on Combat, Exploration, and Interaction
"There's so much more to RPGs than combat. Tavern Tales gives you access to a wide variety of combat, exploration, and interaction options. You can effortlessly build a well-rounded character."

Narrative, Story-Based Gameplay
"The core mechanic in Tavern Tales is called a 'Tale,' which highlights the game's emphasis on storytelling. The rules are conveniently out of the way until you need them. The system helps you play how you want, rather than telling you what to do."

Cinematics, Not Mathematics
"Outside of the dice rolling mechanic, Tavern Tales uses virtually no numbers whatsoever. The game focuses on cinematic, exciting effects. Your power comes from your ability to affect the story, rather than from numeric bonuses like '+1 damage.'"

Community-Driven Development
"Tavern Tales has a passionate fanbase that worked together to make Tavern Tales as good as it could possibly be. The resulting product is a versatile, flexible, and diverse game that appeals to RPG fans everywhere."

Modular, Customizable Rules
"Tavern Tales empowers you to play the game however you want, providing a wide array of optional rules and flexibility. The GM entries give you the inspiration to create a unique and compelling game world."
