Barkeep on the Borderlands is a TTRPG where the player characters attempt to find a cure for the Queen of the keep while bar hopping, getting drunk, and causing mayhem throughtout the town. 

Playing this with my group was so much fun! Everyone at the table loved it and I can't remember a time when we all laughed so much. This game will be in our regular rotation from here on in.

The systems the game uses work exceptionally well. Both the setting and 20 unique and varied taverns are well thought out and is loaded with different experiences and hijinks for the players to get up to.

The drinking and drunkenness mechanic is a standout system which I've never seen in any other TTRPG's I've played. It creates fun, interesting, and sometimes dangerous opportunities for the party. I'll definitely be using it in other adventures as it offers a great downtime activity for when your PC's are back in town resupplying or licking their wounds, and can easily be used to create new plot hooks for further adventures.

Due to it's modular nature, any of the 20 available taverns or even individual systems can be used in almost any other OSR TTRP's you're playing. They are ready made tavern settings, each with an abundance of character, as well as different PC's to interact with.

You can really tell this game was made with care and the author has done a great job with making the town feel alive and festive.

If you're looking for something different than your average adventure, or just want a bit of extra spice for your current campaign, I can't reccomend this game enough. 

Thanks so much for this review! You may be one of the first groups (other than the playtesters) to have ran the adventure, and I am glad you all enjoyed it!
