Publisher's blurb: Are you looking for a way to add some color to your campfire and tavern encounters? A way to let your more boisterous players add a new dimension to their role playing? A way for bards to really be bards - and sing songs or read ballads - rather than just say that they are entertaining a group of NPCs? Then you need Tavern Songs & Ballads for Bards & Jolly Adventurers. This volume presents well over 100 real life drinking songs from the deep past, many hundreds of years old. Some are short and sweet and make for a great one off for any talented singer in the group. Others have a great chorus where the entire party can join in. And several more tell wonderful stories that can be shared with the group by the bard if he or she is feeling unusually inspired at the moment.
