Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The stereotypical opening to an adventure in tabletop RPGs: the protagonists are all gathered by prior intent or a "coincidence" of authorial fiat by the Game Master in an inn, bar room, or other common public meeting spot. Once there, some mysterious stranger or NPC of varying dubiousness will approach them with some job offer or plea for assistance. These strangers tend to seat themselves in the darkest corner of the tavern for some reason (probably to make themselves seem even more mysterious). Thus do our heroes receive their ticket to board the plot. Careful, though, for the mysterious stranger has an odds-to-even chance of being the Big Bad or a similar miscreant. Expect a Bar Brawl or two in the tavern as well, particularly if the PCs start to get rowdy. Fortunately, though, the barkeep is usually a retired former adventurer willing and able to kick the asses of anyone who gets too uppity. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })This trope is Older Than Print — no less an author than Chaucer had his adventuring party meet in an inn — but it later began to be considered a Discredited Trope through overuse. Actually starting an adventure with the words "So, you all meet in an inn..." may be seen as roleplaying's equivalent to "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night..." Thus, a lot of sources advise against using it, and give pointers on how to avoid it. The 3rd Edition Dungeon Master's Guide for Dungeons & Dragons, in a list of ways to bring a party together, dubs this "The Cliche". David Morgan-Mar, of Irregular Webcomic! and Darths & Droids fame, provides a list of less overused ways to start an adventure, as do the folks at the dice of doom blog. On the other hand, cliched as it may be, it really is a logical opener. Taverns are the center of social life in many cultures, making for a good place to meet new people, and food and drink are good for bonding with new acquaintances. Some people even use the trope deliberately as an invocation of gaming tradition. It's also quite easy to play for laughs, emphasizing the comedy potential of enjoying a few pints down at the pub and deciding to go out and slay a dragon with your new-found acquaintances. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Real Life group meetings at an Inn are usually a convention of some description. The "adventuring" usually takes place entirely within the building, and does not normally involve bloodshed, swordplay or dragons. Normally. Compare You All Meet in a Cell. Contrast Closed Circle, for when the DM wants to keep you in the tavern. Examples |

While most recruitable characters are found in random houses, the fact that Adventurer's Inns in Might and Magic VIII serve as the mechanism for storing surplus recruited characters and exchanging characters is very likely a reference to this trope (possibly by way of Heroes of Might and Magic). | |

SaGa Frontier and its sequel both exhibit this. The first game has a bar in Scrap; a visit here at the start of a game could completely fill your first fighting party. The second game starts as a team joining to search for treasure and ends 3 generations later fighting a Cosmic Horror Story antagonist. | |

In the first major story arc of Dominic Deegan, the characters meet up at an inn/bar in Barthis. Subverted however in that most of them had either met the heroes previously (Siegfried) or were actually old friends from the past (Milov and Jayden); this is simply the first place they could stop to rest and look for information. | |

Baldur's Gate At the start of the first game, you are placed at the entrance to an inn. Then, for the first part of your adventure, your stepfather tells you to meet some friends in a nearby inn. The second game includes an inn (The Copper Coronet) where a total of three potential party members make their first appearances. Most party members, should you drop them, will wait for you here. The minor (as much as an Ancient Red Dragon can be "minor") villain Firkraag exploits this very trope. He waits at the Copper Coronet for adventurers he can trick and toy with. After all, a Red Dragon is just a few steps away from a cat. |

And then of course there's Callahan's Place where strange people of unusual talents meet in a bar and more or less stay there. Which still doesn't stop them from fulfilling this trope since the barkeep, Callahan, turns out to have specifically opened the bar so he could recruit people to help him save the world. | |

Only slightly different, the founding members of the Mystery Men meet in a diner, and while they do recruit the Bowler II at a backyard barbecue, the Spleen was recruited at the same diner and the Sphinx was found by going to a Mexican Restaurant and giving a secret phrase, and it is after sending out feelers for membership from the diner that they meet Invisible Boy who ends up being the one to go against the trope and say they need to do a recruiting drive with a backyard pool party barbecue. In addition Mr. Furious meets his love interest at the diner, she's their waitress. | |

In Eberron, the city of Sharn has two adventurers' district. Those districts both have taverns that are specifically designed to serve this trope: they not only offer the usual services expected of a tavern but also offer services allowing adventurers to find people to team up with, as well as employment. Incidentally those taverns tend to be owned or be operated by retired adventurers. These taverns also tend to have irregular shapes, and intentionally poor lighting, so that they have more shadowy corners than usual. | |

Happens a few times in Discworld: In The Colour of Magic , there's a Bad-Guy Bar Broken Drum in which adventurers meet and fight each other. In Hogfather, a group of "businessman" meet in even worse Bad-Guy Bar, answering the call of Big Bad Teatime. They mostly know each other and are on edge because Teatime is late to meet them and tell them what their assignment is. Then, it turns out the place never had waiters... Cue Oh, Crap! moment. Lampshaded by Vimes in Jingo: "You'll be surprised how many people were ready to do business with a complete stranger they have met in a bar just a few minutes ago." |

Samurai Champloo: Two of the three protagonist meet at a tea house, where they immediate start a massively violent bar brawl. The third one wanders in by coincidence and joins in the fight. This very quickly leads to You All Meet in a Cell. | |

Schlock Mercenary has it lampshaded in this strip. At first they avoid it, but soon enough, they go to one and immediately find exactly what they're looking for (which isn't as much of a coincidence as usual for this trope). | |

Exalted has this built into certain locations for ease — like in Nexus, where no-one is allowed to eat alone after dark, so it's easy to just say, "You're all in Nexus, it's nighttime, so you all had to sit at a table together." Although it still strains Willing Suspension of Disbelief when you're one of, at best, 700 Chosen in a world of billions. The answer to that is usually Because Destiny Says So and/or Sidereals (which are often the same as the former and becomes extra convenient if you have one in the party.) | |

Not precisely an inn (nor are they all necessarily on friendly terms with each other), but the common interest of staying at Rotherwood for the night on the same night at the start of the story is what brings most of Ivanhoe's main characters together for the first time. | |

Mythica: The party meets in a tavern. It's somewhat justified as this was frequented by mercenaries, and Teela comes in hoping to hire some that will help rescue her sister and retrieve the Darkspore. Also the owner, Hammerhead, is a former mercenary who acts as a sort of broker for teams to pursue such missions. | |

Pathfinder, following in the footsteps of D&D, has a few cases like this, some especially lampshaded. For instance, Cayden's Hall in Absalom is a temple devoted to Cayden Cailean (god of freedom, adventurers, and booze), meaning it's part-temple, part-boozefest, part-rallying point for anybody who wants to go off and punch evil and tyranny in the face. | |

Dungeons & Dragons is so Troperiffic that a cliché like this was bound to be used in a handful of modules: Sometimes it turns out another way. Special mention has to go to the 2nd Edition module "Reverse Dungeon", where the players are a group of goblins trying to save their tribe from an (apparently endless) stream of adventurers. The way the module suggests they achieve this is to destroy the tavern, so that the heroes can't recruit replacements for their fallen comrades. Before the Spellplague, the Forgotten Realms had a justified example - one of the bars in Waterdeep, one of Faerûn's great metropolis, was not only run by a retired adventurer, but also happened to have an entry-point to Undermountain (a very, very large dungeon) in it. That, of course, made it a convenient place for adventures looking to strike rich in Undermountain to gather. The 1977 Holmes Basic D&D boxed set. In the sample dungeon the PCs could gather at the Green Dragon Inn in the city of Portown before going on an adventure. The AD&D 1st Edition Dungeon Master's Guide (1979) has this suggestion for getting a party of PCs together. |

The most common version of this in Call of Cthulhu is, "So, you receive a letter/package/telegram from [NPC]..." The second most common one is, "You are investigating the mysterious death of a friend/ally"; third most common is "You all meet in a Speakeasy/on a University Campus..." Various resources for Keepers have tried to provide alternative means for introducing Investigators into a scenario and setting up the plot without relying on these so much. | |

Classic Traveller: There was an early lampshading of this in Adventure 2 Research Station Gamma. The characters are space travelling ex-Navy, Scouts and whatnot, and where do they all meet? In an inn on some backwards world with 18th/19th century technology. All of them had the great idea to go there and now don't have enough credits to get off this hole. Of course the adventure then takes exactly the course you would expect from this beginning it's a dungeon crawl, just in a high-tech psionics research station. Adventure 0 The Imperial Fringe plays it straight. The Referee is encouraged to tell the players "You're all sitting in the Starhaven tavern". The PCs quickly get into a Bar Brawl and meet their patron, who gives them a mission that will take them the length and breadth of the Spinward Marches. |

Neverwinter Nights: In the third expansion, the PC starts out and meets several future party mates in an Inn (a specific inn the source material had already established as being a common meeting place for adventurers seeking to enter Undermountain). Only one of them will stay with you until the end of the story—the other four in the Inn all go back to the surface at the end of the first chapter. The three potential party members that are not in the Inn at the beginning are met under much more unusual circumstances. Several fan-made expansions also contain examples. In "A Dance with Rogues", your first encounter with Pia is in a private dining room at an inn, your first encounters with Bran, Norah, and Gemli in the second chapter are also in an inn. You technically meet Diane in an inn in the first The Bastard of Kosigan module, but you actually recruit her in a forest if you so choose. Several possible henchmen in A Hunt Through The Dark, in the final chapter, show up in the inn for the first time. Neverwinter Nights 2 has the expansion pack Storm of Zehir, with all the original party members meeting (technically) on a ship. Additional party members can be in a variety of places, but you'll find a good third of them in inns. In just vanilla Neverwinter Nights 2, you meet the fighter Dwarf at the inn you're just passing by. Starting a bar brawl. And then, when you meet him, another bar brawl happens. You also meet the Deadpan Snarker wizard and Sociopathic Hero ranger inside a later inn that's the party's base of operations in Neverwinter, and the pyromaniac sorceress outside its front door. |

During Starcraft II's development, units like the Reaper were hired at the Merc Haven, a bar with a holographic dancing Night Elf. It ended up being phased out (the building is still used, but just as a prop), but in the campaign you hire mercenaries from a man in the Hyperion's cantina. | |

The original Star Wars: While not all the characters met there (Leia is already held on the Death Star by this point, the droids had met Luke after being bought, and then they all go to meet Ben Kenobi to find out if the droids belong to him), the meeting with Han Solo and Chewbacca in the Mos Eisley cantina does represent the first time the main hero (Luke) is set to interact with the outside universe, and since the meeting is where the mission to Alderaan is planned that will link them up with Leia and set the plot for the rest of the movie (as well as set all the events of the trilogy in motion), it certainly counts as where the main adventure starts. In Episode VII, Han and company go to a similar establishment, a thousand-year old watering-hole run by his friend, Maz Kanata. Here, Finn, deserter from the New Order Stormtroopers, takes the opportunity to flee to the Outer Rim by getting himself hired with a couple of guys on a different ship. |

The action of Robert Jordan's enormous The Wheel of Time series begins with Rand al'Thor meeting up with both established friends (Mat & Egwene) and newcomers (Moiraine, Lan & Thom) at the Winespring Inn in the local village. Which, to be fair, is pretty much the only location of note, in the widest sense of the term, in the entire region. Additionally, the first place the group stays outside of the Two Rivers once they are forced to flee Emond's Field is at an inn in the town of Baerlon, and this is not only where the Wisdom Nynaeve catches up with them but where they encounter the oracular Min who will be a key character in the series. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire Bronn's adventures with Tyrion began after Catelyn persuaded him and a group of knights at an inn to arrest Tyrion for allegedly pushing her son Bran off a tower. This paid off after he championed and won a trial by combat for Tyrion, and he's been following him around since (at least until Tyrion gets falsely accused of and arrested for murdering Joffrey, and Bronn is bribed with a lordship in order to send him away). | |

Final Fantasy: Bars are where you go for sidequests in Final Fantasy Tactics, but your party begins as soldiers of the same troop. In homage to its spiritual predecessor, Vaan looks up his very first Hunt in Final Fantasy XII at the local tavern, the Sandsea. He will graduate up to Clan Hunts afterward, but he can always find a minor Hunt or two on the tavern's billboard. The two Final Fantasy Tactics Advance games similarly use the bar as a quest hub (both main and sidequests), and many cutscenes play out in one of them as well, including the main character's introduction to the clan. By contrast, it's not used as a place to hire new members. |

In Yamara, local bars double as employment centers, even officially. The title character goes out drinking with her friend Stress, and warns against trying to fight off the hordes of adventurers, sages in dark cloaks, and barmaids with the low-down on local dragon hoards, since a bar fight will likely lead to a memorable encounter and forming a lifelong fellowship with some dweeb, and who wants that? Then she announces they'll join the party of whichever group buys them the most drinks, and the two of them get plastered for free. | |

Game of Thrones: Several inns at the Riverlands facillate chance encounters between characters. Catelyn and Tyrion in Season 1, Arya, the Brotherhood without Banners and Sandor Clegane in Season 3, Arya and the Hound with Polliver and Mountain's Men in Season 4, Brienne and Pod meeting Hot Pie at the same Inn where he, Arya and Gendry last parted in Season 4, and later the two encounter Sansa and Littlefinger in Season 5. This is justified because the Riverlands is the networking region that connects all the major kingdoms so it would be common for travellers to have surprising chance random encounters. | |

Several fan-made expansions also contain examples. In "A Dance with Rogues", your first encounter with Pia is in a private dining room at an inn, your first encounters with Bran, Norah, and Gemli in the second chapter are also in an inn. You technically meet Diane in an inn in the first The Bastard of Kosigan module, but you actually recruit her in a forest if you so choose. Several possible henchmen in A Hunt Through The Dark, in the final chapter, show up in the inn for the first time. | |

Dragonlance: The first novel in the series (which is based on Dungeons & Dragons to begin with) opens with the heroes meeting at an inn. This is justified; not only are the protagonists old friends who promised to meet here many years prior, but one of them has backed out on her promise, foreshadowing far worse things to come. There's even a mysterious hooded guy in a corner, though he turns out to be a good guy. He even rearranges the furniture for dramatic effect. The heroes meet the people who start off their major quest in the inn, as well. |

Feng Shui, which makes no effort to hide the fact that everything in the game that's not a fight scene is a mechanism to get to the next fight scene as quickly as possible, demands this. GMs are instructed to decide where all the players will be when the story begins, and then simply inform the players of this unassailable fact. Players must then give a reason for why their character is at this place, with rewards given for reasons that tie well into their character's backstory in some way. An example: | |
