d100 - Alliterative Alehouses & Tavern Traits

Perhaps we have the venerable “Prancing Pony” to thank for it, but for some reason it seems that most Taverns seem to be a bit more memorable when given Names, and I often see those Names sharing those starting sounds. So, for an amusing distraction, I slapped together some samples to speed up the generation of these alliterating appellations. Finding the results a little thin for a d100 Table, I decided to pad it out with a hundred little “Features” or “Vignette” style elements that could be used to embellish a given drinking establishment.

Starting things off in a Tavern is a timeless tradition after all, even if I have Tables To The Contrary, but should you still need one to kick things off, or as another Building for those Starting Settlements, or even wish to decorate a City Street with a few, this table might be useful. If you find yourself in need of a bit of Flavor for Local Libations, I have another Table to assist with that as well.
