Came here to inspire myself in designing my real life rpg tavern here in Indonesia. It might not attract many customers but it has always been my dream to open one.
hope you're living the dream
You need to hire an actor or cosplayer friend to occasionally pop in wearing some battered armor and hold forth about their days as an adventurer.
Best of luck :)
I want to do the same thing here in the US, like a nice big one, but the whole funding thing...Even had a lot picked out, but the city put another gas station there, 5 within about 2 miles, but couldn't buy the lot either lols.

Could you draw a forest map?
I really need to learn to draw trees from above
Sweet mapmaking! I learned the hard way that having a thick/thin set of markers really helps with establishing walls and barriers.
Your bathroom comment reminds me of the two times I specifically planned having a bathroom location in two different one shots. One time I left goofy magazines for players to potentially find. The other time there was a hidden escape hatch in the toilet. Nobody ever checked out those bathrooms though.
Hah! That’s awesome! I guess people don’t really care about going to the bathroom while role playing :P
Absolutely love it. Reminds me of back in the day when I first got into roleplaying with my friends--I'd draw out these big, multi-page maps across sheets of printer paper to represent the various ships used across our campaigns (we played Star Wars at the time). There really is something about a handmade map that brings a game to life, even if it's just super simple with a low skill level.
can you imagine putting this amount of work into one location and then the PCs just merrily skip it away for a random NPC's working place to steal all their posessions?
Great map and good advice. It's always fun to watch the way creative people think.
Definitely never noticed before but you’re right, bathrooms are few and far between in dnd... glad you included one in your tavern!
:D I feel like they are perfect places for a group to sneak away and have a private conversation while in a crowded tavern!
All the old pubs that I find living in Britain have a large multi seat outhouse for each gender and a trough. It's only a few steps away from the main building in the beer garden with a covered walkway between the two buildings. And even flush toilets started as just a porcelain hole with a foot-pad either side and you can still enjoy them in France :) Quite a shock if you didn't know until you needed to go and then discover this as the only option! We Americans all need to get out more.
The Ugly Mug - I love it! I might have to borrow that one lol
Cheap tip: wrapping paper usually has 1inch grid on the back now. those post it grids are expensive.
good tip!
The chairs placement is ok because in places like this people just grab them from another table to sit with their friends, and it doesn't take long or the elegantly planed sitting organisation to turn into an illoical nightmare ;)
Map looks great. I think I am going to try and draw more maps. Already made a keelboat and longship battlemap.
I like how excited you are :) great drawing too ;)
This is amazing my friend keep it up
The tortle chef is adorable.
Thank you! He's my favorite ;)
I love your videos
Thank you Good Sir 🎩
🏆
You are great! :) Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany
@11:16 "..super planned and that is how it is meant to be." Great job owning it at the Ugly Mugg
Wow that’s amazing even if it is simple
I just love this simple style and really appreciate you putting these videos together. I've been DM'ing a long time, but upping my art game would definitely kick things up another level! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you! It's VERY fun to drop something you created down on the table. Your players will appreciate it so much!
Huzzah ,, bestest idea ever. very clever.
The one thing I would have made different is the round tables. In many bars they thend to move tables together for larger groups of guests and that would be easier to achieve wich rectangular tables. I would still have added one round table which is significantly larger than the rectangular ones. That table would be specifically reserved for regular guests who are known for being in this bar every thursday night and who are always sitting at that specific table. That could be a group of retired adventurers - maybe even the party the innkeeper was travelling with or depending on what kind of pub it is it could be a group of local policeman or a band of thieves who've picked that pub as meeting point. This idea could also serve as a storyhook for the adventurers or maybe as some sideinteraction when they try to sit on exactly that table and the innkeeper tells them they can't.
All awesome ideas!
Another fantastic video. Please keep it up!
Fantastic1 Love the richness of the characters too!!!! The paper character pawns rule! The premise is fantastic! That got my brain blasting through ideas- are the guests paying to disappear/fleeing the city, or are they going to an exclusive Underdark complex, or a travel portal? Also, I love the starting spec sheet- a book of these mini adventure ideas would be a great zine. One page adventure seeds! Perhaps a Flik Silverpen's guide to . It could even be a workbook of sorts- Guide to making guides!
great idea!
One small thing I think is worth of tweaking are diagonal walls - you cut the square in half and it is hard to put miniature on and determine if it can be occupied or not.
Simple avoidance of this is to not start diagonals at the edges, but at the middle of squares and you then clearly cut the square to 1/8th which cannot be used and 7/8ths which can.
Here is a sample: drive.google.com/file/d/1My6doJ6UwI3_Vqv4vLZ7U09BU1aTESNE/view?usp=sharing
GREAT tip! Will definitely be doing this from now on!
Great artwork! Really cool map.
Nice!
Man, the background and map are really cool! Would you consider uploading the map and background here?
Как всегда, отличная работа! Ты большой молодец! Очень интересные и информативные видео у тебя на канале.
Would love to see your ideas on how to handle buildings with a hex/triangular map
same way!
Great map!
more indoor maps ideais would be great
Thanks! More indoor stuff coming for sure!
Portobella's quite a place, to have running water & a sewer system. A waste of good urine useful in the cloth fulling process, if you ask me….
That's amazing but i think you miss some pillars around to keep the inn up... otherwise it easily collapse ;)

Rentable rooms should be on the second floor with Sarg's apartment would be on the third floor with an attic above.
Отличное видео! Удачи тебе и здоровья!
Most medieval taverns wouldn’t have a bathroom. They would have an outhouse (usually integrated into the sizable woodshed for all the wood that hearth and that oven would consume), or share an outhouse with the other businesses or boarding houses on their block.
Did they use bathrooms ? Or out-houses. Or ditches 🤔 😀
Ty for this tipe of videos
Keep waiting for the orchestra to strike up! We've got the conductor waving like hell. Where are the musicians?
🤣
looks like a future among us map XD
JP your videos are amazing, it inspire me so much, thak you sir and keep up the good work!
Do you have any tips for drawing a castle map? I just don’t know the balance between too much and not enough.
Too much is if drawing the map takes away time you'd spend preparing the adventure. Not enough is making a drawing that doesn't help the players visualize what you are describing. So a castle wall can just be a line on a grid. It can be super simple! Other suggestion would be to do a sketch on a smaller sheet of paper first, just to figure out how you want to draw certain objects. Good luck! You got it!
My idea for a name is tum city
it stads for the ugly mug
That tavern/inn doesn't have a second floor.
Bro I thought your making a real game, like a game that you can download
what pen are you using?

First hahha
How does one play/do DND?? I really want to learn but literally can't figure it out.
There are LOTS of videos explaining how to get started!
The bards need a stage
And how do I draw a outt?
Love your stuff!
