What is tavern map d&d?

A tavern map in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is a type of game map that depicts the interior of a typical medieval-style inn or tavern. It is designed to be used during D&D gameplay to provide a visual reference of the environment where the characters are located.

A tavern map would typically include tables and chairs, a bar counter, shelves behind the bar that hold various drinks, kegs of ale, a fireplace or hearth, some stairs leading to an upper floor, and a few other details such as tapestries, paintings or lanterns hanging from the beam.

Tavern maps can serve several purposes in D&D, such as using it as a starting point for a quest, a place for the characters to rest and recover after battles, a hub of local gossip and rumors, or as a location for encounters with non-player characters, such as bartenders, servers, patrons, or the occasional troublemaker.

Due to their versatility and popularity, tavern maps are often included in official or fan-made D&D campaigns and sourcebooks. Some D&D players also enjoy making their own tavern maps using online tools or physical art supplies.
