The feeling of today's Tavern one-shot: 1 main quest + 2 side quests reward Player ingenuity more than Character power, while some wild monster battles may test PC abilities of varying levels. Atmosphere is high fantasy, like Baldur's Gate CRPG in the maps and rules, similar monsters to Lord Of The Rings / Greyhawk / or Forgotten Realms settings, akin to ItMeJP 2E games renowned from Twitch streaming, but with a "Tavern in the dangerous wilderness" twist where anyone might walk in like the Star Wars cantina.
