RPG Tavern: Our Top 3 Starting Tropes

In the very first installment of RPG Tavern, we’re switching gears from grimdark warzones to grimy taverns, jail cells, and royal courtrooms. That’s right — it’s RPG time.
 
In this casual fireside-style chat, we dive into our top 3 favorite RPG starting tropes. From the classic “you all meet in a tavern,” to starting off as prisoners, to being sent on a quest by some royal pain — we’re breaking down why these clichés still work, how to twist them into something fresh, and which ones we secretly love the most.
 
Whether you’re a forever DM or a first-time player, RPG Tavern is open.
