One Spot 1: The Painted Man
![]() |
No matter what system you use for your games¸ being a game master is a perilous pastime. As soon as the players arrive with their PCs at the ready¸ your well-formulated plans can go off-the-rails at a moment's notice. If you have somewhere to put the PCs for a bit while you ponder your options¸ it can smooth things out considerably.
If you're in need of such a location on short notice¸ One Spot is for you! Each product in the line focuses on a different location you can easily drop into any fantasy town or city. Instantly you have a place with NPCs¸ descriptive text¸ plot hooks¸ and more to give you the tools you need to quickly populate a place your PCs can interact with.
One Spot #1 presents a tavern called The Painted Man¸ complete with a barkeep (the artistically decorated Painted Man)¸ tavern map¸ images¸ and more. One Spot #1: The Painted Man is another great tool to include in your bag of GM tricks!
One Spot #1: The Painted Man offers:
- An introduction¸ location description¸ tavern map¸ and image of the tavern sign.
- A bit of background on the Painted Man himself¸ his mannerisms¸ and a picture.
- Descriptions for the other NPCs involved in operating the tavern¸ from the bubbly barmaid to the secretive owner.
- A suggestion of what items might currently be on the menu and on tap.
- A list (10 items) of potential facts and rumors to kick things off.
- A list of hooks (4 tables of hints) for how one or more of the PCs may have interacted with the tavern before.
This is the second in a new series of short (2 page)¸ system-neutral supplements from Moebius Adventures designed to provide easy locations to drop into your fantasy campaign¸ complete with hooks¸ NPCs¸ and a few surprises.
Each Moebius Adventures One Spot product is designed to be easily inserted into your GM folder with two pages containing:

- GM-ready information¸ including: NPC details¸ location map¸ encounter/hook ideas¸ and a random table to help determine any prior relationship with the place a PC may have.
