    This is perfect! 3 of my players have a character with a gambling addiction

      Sounds like you just have three people with gambling addictions if that's the case. :v

    Hey folks just curious what do you think of our audio on this one we tried a new mic setup and we’re still fiddling with it. -Tony.

      This is the first video of you that I'm seeing and I seem to have come at just the right time - the time of nice audio!

      Audio is fine in my opinion. But I cant believe only 1,5k people watched this video. Mini games are one of the first things Ive thought about when coming up with tavern adventures.

    Here's a good one I like: Killer One's!
    www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/e34sk2/a_quick_tavern_game_killer_ones_oc/?context=3
    Everyone antes up, shakes 1d6 in a shot glass/plastic, then slams in down. Any 1's and ur dead (take a shot of something) Any other number goes toward ur score.
    Do this for each letter of the word KILLER. Last player left wins the pot. More than 1 player left: highest score wins. Anything else: House takes the pot.

    Dinosaur Racing was super fun and I highly recommend it. I added a few of my own twists to it, but in my new campaign I'm planning on translating the dinosaur races to snail races in a tavern. A nice, scaled-down version of the betting that can be done with the dinosaur races, but you can pop it up basically anywhere.

    Love this. Maybe make games that can incorporate skills or stats like arm wrestling would be strength and poker would be charisma. I've watched streams that they did carnival games and snowball fights

    • @HomeBrewCrew
      @HomeBrewCrew  5 років тому +2

      Hey Pockets!
      Yes, I think tossing in skill checks within games can add great interplay between the meta game as well as the session itself. Carnival games sounds like a fun thing! I might even do a one-shot themed like a fair or something. Cool!

    I want to know how we'd integrate magic into a real world game of blackjack and poker.
    Maybe treat it like magic the gathering where you can make them discard parts of or show their hand. Or even trade cards.

    Left Right Center is a good dice game to throw into D&D Tavern or traveling charlatan encounters.

    I personally really like Knucklebones which is I think from cult of the lamb but might be from something else but the idea is each person has a 3x3 grid and you roll a 6 sided dice and put it in any of the 9 squares, multiples of the same number double or triple in the same column, a dice of one number placed in the same column as another of the same number in the opponents column cancels theirs out and removes it from play. After 5 rounds whoever's dice total more wins.

      Knucklebones is also a game of jacks played with real knuckle bones taken from a pig, a sheep, or a cow. The idea is you toss the bones in the air, bounce them on the back of your hand, and catch as many as you can. You then toss a bone in the air, pick another bone up off the ground, and catch the airborne bone before it hits the ground.

    Shut the Box is a quick and easy gambling game. Farkle is not as quick but easy as well.

    Three Point Stabby, everyone rolls 1d4,1d6,1d8. Triple 3s win. Goal is to get a series of numbers, for each number missing you get a point. 3points in a single roll you get stabbed. 5points is 2stabs. 6points(1,1,8) you get killed.
    Use it in shadey cellars or in honourable palaces

    Cool! I read tarot cards a little so when my players roll for some insight or clairvoyance or something like that, I tell them a combination of cards that would mean what they need, and give them the tarot cards meaning book for them to speculate what the meaning is, for example. I'm now looking for a mini persuasion roll mini game to have them sorta play around an NPC's character, fears and desires to convince them, any ideas?

    • @VanNessy97
      @VanNessy97 Рік тому

      I do the same thing with a Deck of Many Things, turning the status effects of each card into a meaningful bit of advice from the faerie druid I made who's able to use a real DoMT for taromancy.

    Tarot was originally a game, not a fortune telling method. Playing with tarot cards would be fun.

    • @VanNessy97

      According to my sources, tarocchi was invented by the Northern Italians, and the Romani people were the first to use tarot decks for divination.
