[Pen 'n' Papper] Thugs and scoundrels!

I have no idea if this is new or not to the forums (or even if this is the right section) but here goes:

I am planning a campaign of sorts for my friends and it'll be my first 'serious' attempt at DM'ing. We're playing the Swedish role-playing game called Drakar och Demoner, and even though it has been called the equivalency of D&D for quite a while, there will be no rule related questions since they use different systems. Here is the gist of it all:

The heroes have arrived in a town near their home. The travelers are guarding a caravan sent from their tribe (they are part of a tribe of mountain men) and the first thing that happens is that they get robbed blind by the ‘racist’ city guard, they are left with a dagger and some gold pieces which the hunter in the group had enough foresight to hide in his boot. One thing leads to another and they end up in a crazy slummy tavern called “The Vulgar Simpleton” where they start finding work.

The idea is that they have no real choice in the matter, they have to eat and they can’t leave the city since they need to get their wagon, which holds most of their gear, back. And even though they are a proud people and have never even thought about going into a life of crime they are now forced into it.

Anyways, why I am here is simple. I am looking for people that hang out in this tavern. A short back-story and some appearance. Why do they hang out at the Simpleton? Remember even though most people that do hang there are thugs and scoundrels not all have to be.

Do you have a shady character that might even have a quest? Then share! All contributions are more than welcome.

EDIT: I just realised that this might be a tad bit light on the information side of the town and so on. If you are interested and want some more information on background, setting and so on tell me.

erm, is this on any sort of game? Eg a w3 or SC map?
If so, this is the wrong place to post this. Look at the Members' Projects under the correct Game Heading.
If not, then please describe in more detail as to what this will be like.

    And our actual cooks aren't really trained for that. Our line lead will be fine but our tournant is still kind of struggling with some things and he takes mistakes way too hard. I got onto him about scorching pans when making cream sauces and he started fucking everything else up, like dude it's fine just turn your heat down a bit. And then he burned like three batches of couscous in a row and it's like man
  • Varine Varine:
    He walked away from the first batch, learned nothing and walked away from the second batch, and then tried to toast it in a saute pan made out of aluminum so it scorched immediately and then I took away and he was sad all day

    I know our range sucks but it's still a fucking fire down there, I've never measured it but I'm sure it's like a couple thousand degrees.

    I wish I had a flat top grill in my kitchen!
  • jonas jonas:
    I wish I could cook asian dishes :D
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You just need a pressure cooker like an instapot for the asian dishes
  • The Helper The Helper:
    they make that stuff easy
  • The Helper The Helper:
    and there is a flat top grill I can buy that will work on my stovetop but it is pricey
  • The Helper The Helper:
    and I have no room for that anyway
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a thing that goes over two burners for my house, but it doesn't work great. I think they make ones that plug in where the coils go but it's not cheap.
  • Varine Varine:
    And yeah if you have a pressure cooker you can do lots of stuff really fast. Depending on what you're trying to do it ranges from really easy to really hard
  • Varine Varine:
    If you want to make tonkotsu broth, you're gonna have a rough time, but if you want to do like stir fries or something that tends to be pretty easy

  • Varine Varine:
    Ingredients are sometimes hard to find though, which is why we're doing 'fusion'. We don't have wok burners either, so it'll be kind of a weird transition

    I have three teenagers apply for college that all asked for letters of recommendation with like two days notice lol. Like I get it guys, and I'm happy to help, but maybe tell me you need it before you need to turn these applications in?
  • Varine Varine:
    I guess they are literal children, so not exactly the best at thinking ahead. Fucking kids
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah they are just inexperienced and young
  • jonas jonas:
    I'm still horrible at that :eek: often forget things or do things on the last minute
  • The Helper The Helper:
    My daughter is same way
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Happy Saturday people!!!

    I am sure nobody cares but I am seriously considering taking the Gaming News forum and just changing it to General Gaming Discussion since I post so much about gaming in the General Discussion Forum
