[#60] "Um, OK, so the camera opens on a boisterous tavern in the middle of town, what are each of your characters doing there?" is a perfectly OK way to start a D&D campaign, but there's a host of other possibilities, and in this episode, we get into a few of our favorites.

• This episode was Jason's suggestion, spinning off this blog post he noticed. 
• Jim floated his theory that the ubiquity of taverns comes from the hobbit's Prancing Pony meet-cute with Aragorn in Fellowship of the Ring.
• Jim also invoked the classic Bard's Tale computer game as an iconic fantasy game centered around a tavern as your home base.
• Jason mentioned the ongoing You Meet in a TavernAP podcast.
