The Yawning Dog Inn

Welcome to the Yawning Dog, an inn that will provide you a belly full of food, a bit of intoxicating drink, and a place to lay your head tonight. For a handful of coins you can enjoy these pleasures- as well as the possible entertainments of a local harlot! Sleep lightly though, my friend, and keep a dagger on hand, because the residents of this location can be rather dangerous at times!

 The Yawning Dog is a small inn, minus stable, that is specifically designed for a crowded, urban fantasy setting with a criminal, dangerous side.

Additional information about this product....

Background:

The Yawning Dog is a small inn lacking a stable. Owned by retired adventurer Barnus the location was formally owned by an aging, sickly gentleman who catered to the needs of hungry, thirsty, and sometimes sleepy carters and porters. During this time the inn was The Hired Hand. Since the passing of ownership the customers of this location have grown more unsavory and dangerous.

The Yawning Dog is a back street sort of inn, quite small and often catering to a rather shady crowd. Despite its unsavory reputation, the location is often reasonably safe due to the inn owner's past as a sword for hire, the occasional hire of strong arm thugs, and the local connections of higher profile criminals that choose to lay low here from time to time.

Recommended Campaign Placement:

The Yawning Hound is a smallish inn that has a bit of a reputation for shady patrons and is lacking a stable. As such, it is more of a smaller, “secondary inn” and thus not really suitable for rural hamlets or smaller towns. The author of this product recommends placing The Yawning Hound in a larger city setting, notably in an area that sees its share of desperation and skullduggery. The square footage of this location is rather compact, allowing it to fit nicely along a neglected street or even within a potentially dangerous alley.
