Aside of Pesto #10 - Elminster's Excellent Establishments released!
Elminster's Excellent Establishments
EEE is a collection of 20 shops—complete with quest hooks, inventories, and NPC owners—ready to drop into your campaign. I wrote two of the shops:
Unvexing Vexillology. Your go-to source of information on vexillology (flags), heraldry (coats of arms), and genealogy (family lines). Took a family crest off a cultist's corpse and need to find out which family it belongs to? Want to settle once and for all whether the party bard is really the long lost heir to the [deliberately indecipherable mumbling] noble house? Unvexing Vexillology has the answers.
The Yawning Portal Experience. The Yawning Portal is a famous tavern in Waterdeep built around a giant pit that leads to a dungeon created by a mad wizard. The Yawning Portal Experience is a tourist trap with a haunted house basement "modeled" after the original. Teenagers in costumes, a kobold pretending to be a dragon, that kind of thing. Oh yeah, and the owner could use some help. Some VIPs are coming in 10 minutes and the regular performers are passed out. Put on this costume and pretend to be a Mind Flayer. Hope you're a good actor. Thanks!
If all this sounds like your cup of tea, you can pick up the book from the DM's Guild here: Elminster's Excellent Establishments
