Roll20 Team

For this month's Reserve selection, Roll20 is excited to offer Pro Subscribers Tavern Tales Vol. 1: A Trip Away Inn by Escape Plan Games. This Package contains a Game Addon and Compendium Expansion to be used with any existing or new game, and is jam-packed with tons of material and tools for your next 5E game!

About Tavern Tales

Tavern Tales is more than just an anthology of adventures. It provides Game Masters a living, breathing, functional tavern, that they can insert into their homebrew game world. A Trip Away Inn is a circus-themed tavern built by Flip, a former high flyer and tightrope walker, and is filled with unique characters, each with its own story to tell and tasks for your heroes to complete. 

Visit the tavern bathhouse or play a game of Liar's Dice with the two-timing twins, Tia and Mia. Taste the savory meals from Estabon, the Dragonborn chef! A Trip Away Inn provides a home away from home, as well as a meeting place for schemes and plans. Access all the tools you need to bring the whimsical atmosphere of A Trip Away Inn to life for your players. Whether you need a little breathing room to write that next great adventure or need that next hook to build from, A Trip Away Inn is rife with inspiration.


Tavern Tales Includes:

  • 14 Adventures spanning from 1st - 13th level
  • 30+ Encounter Maps
  • 22 Tavern NPC's
  • 12 Merchants
  • Four Player Backgrounds
  • Two Player Sub-Classes
  • New Magic Items and Weapons
  • Rules for player-run shops

Tavern Tales Vol. 1: A Trip Away Inn is also available as a PDF on DrivethruRPG

Nice collection of maps, NPCs, items and adventures. Lots of stuff that I can use or mod-and-use!

Looks amazing! Too much content for our pro subscription! The tavern and its merchants alone is great.

I think that this is something that I will be converting to other game systems. Lots of good content regardless of statblocks,


Two small things: 1. Looks like there is an error in the address for the image of Lord Leanin Eiriander. 2. The info on subclasses does not seem to be organized into the subfolders correctly.

The characters of Ogrel and Vincent Rews do not have any images or tokens attached, but I think those are erroneous duplicates.

This month's perk is very useful!  Would love to see more like this.

I like it!

Thanks Dr DM, I'll pass it along!

I know the majority of your customers are 5e players so get why your Roll20 Reserve items are for 5e, however, it would be nice if sometimes you could give something system agnostic so that those of us primarily using other systems get occasional goodies.

So much content it is amazing, wish every month was like this.  Only constructive criticism I would give is I wish when you add as a add on, it did not inject all 43 maps in the root folder, but had its own folder at the start, so it doesn't get mixed with existing maps.  (Thankfully I was able to differentiate and put them all in its own folder)

an amazing add on, super useful...echo the request for these maps having their own folder

I will work on getting the maps in a folder and fixing dr. Dm's finds.

Looks interesting, however, no use at all to anyone not playing D&D5e, how about giving something system agnostic for a change?

The content in this is as close to system agnostic as one could get in a 5E product. I will likely be using this in Pathfinder 2E.

You can definitely use the shop rules and pub games in whatever game you like. Just figure out what skills apply and adjust the DC. The rest of the content aside from stat blocks can definitely be used in other systems. I think we have a pretty interesting set of npcs and stories.

Here are the last 12 reserve offerings (apologies if any links got messed up, this was a difficult cut and paste):


April 2024 Roll20 Reserve | Adaptable NPCs of the Guild
D&D 5e

March 2024 Roll20 Reserve | Uncaged: Volume 1
D&D 5e

February 2024 Roll20 Reserve | DMsGuild Select: 295 Maps for 5E Campaigns
D&D 5e

January 2024 Roll20 Reserve | Monster Manual Expanded
D&D 5e

December Roll20 Reserve | The Tom Cartos & DMDave Holiday Bundle
Generic Fantasy

November Roll20 Reserve | Kraven's Keep Adventure Bundle
D&D 5e

October Roll20 Reserve | Marvel Multiverse RPG: Smash Pack and Reference Sheet
Marvel

September Roll20 Reserve | Meditating Munky - Sea Ships | Bundle Pack 1-3 + BONUS
Generic Fantasy/Historical

August Roll20 Reserve | Jan Loos - Monster Starter Pack (Bundle - 5 Art Packs / 240 Tokens)
Generic Fantasy

July Roll20 Reserve | Heroic Maps - Essential Locations Bundle (Bundle - 6 Art Packs)
Generic Fantasy

June Roll20 Reserve | Scion Second Edition - Book One Origin (Compendium)
Scion 

May Roll20 Reserve | GM Starter Bundle (Map Pack)
Generic Fantasy


So in the past year, we have seen 

  • D&D 5e - 5
  • Generic Fantasy (/historical) - 5
  • Marvel - 1
  • Scion - 1

This is pretty much in keeping with the general breakdown of Roll20 games. Though perhaps demographics indicate that a Call of Cthulhu offering might be in order. 

The last 4 have been specifically D&D 5e, which probably makes it feel more lopsided than it is.

Last June there was a bonus 2nd item that was Call of Cthulu. :)  It might have been easy to miss because it was listed as a second admin post in the monthly Reserve thread.

I remembered that there was a bonus item, but didn't dive into any of the threads. Where did you get your list???

I understand folks that want reserve offerings for different systems/themes and I do hope they get good ones soon.

That said, as someone who plays a lot of 5e, some of the latest offerings have been really great. I already owned a number of them, but I can picture new DMs getting incredible value out of them and finding good publishers like Grim Press/Dragonix. 


This month in particular I am awestruck. Even getting the 5e out of the equation, the maps, npcs and their adventures can be easily used and applied elsewhere. Stuff like this is something that makes me wish the marketplace had a proper review system in place, as this one deserves a 5/5 star rating. Only faults I have found are some minor editing stuff and token trouble as some have already pointed out, but really, this is knockout content and a new publisher ill be on the look out for and definitely recommend.

If you were a Pro subscriber during June last year, then you might have received the email. It was titled "Roll20 Reserve for June: Scion Second Edition - Book One Origin + Bonus Item for Pros!". I'm not sure if the code that was included would still work (I think those kind of codes work differently than the Reserve Claim buttons, and are individual for each account).  Barring that you could also send an email to the Help Center and see if they'd be able to provide a code if you just overlooked the initial offering. :)

I've added a wiki page of all the Reserve Items with links: https://wiki.roll20.net/List_of_Roll20_Reserve_Items. Hopefully it'll be easy enough to keep updated each month! (The wiki editing system is not very user friendly...)
