The Broken Cask

A Merry Old Inn

To start things off, Broken Casks generates your inn, your persona, and your staff using the fun new technology of random tables. A red-carpeted, marble-strewn marvel between worlds? A rustic lodge on top of a mountain? Orc brewers or elvish gardeners? A retired adventurer or a classic swindler? A few rolls and faster than you can say “Barliman Butterbur” your inn is up and running.

If chance is not your thing, the game is wide open and ready for your creativity. Make your own space or recreate a favorite from class stories!

Satisfyingly Smooth

Running an inn should be cheerful and lighthearted. Broken Cask seeks to cut out crunch and technicalities and leave you with a foaming mug of pure, slice-of-life fun!

Each action is resolved by a simple roll of 1d6 plus a relevant stat. If you meet or exceed your task difficulty, it’s a hit; otherwise it’s a miss and chaos ensues.
