Otherworld Miniatures Stock Your Fantasy RPG Tavern
August 9, 2014 by brennon
Otherworld Miniatures have decided that it's time to pack your fantasy taverns with all manner of interesting characters so see what you think of this cast of miscreants (who will be giving you room and board so be kind!)...
First up we have the grizzled Innkeeper and the Innkeeper's Wife who both probably had to buy the tavern to make ends meet after his military pay came to an end when he lost his hand in the great goblin wars. They are joined by the Crone who is obviously the Innkeeper's wife's mother and she constantly berates him about all the things he's doing wrong.
They are joined by Serving Wench I and Serving Wench II who are local girls hired to keep the place running. They probably know a lot more than they let on and might have a short hard smack across the chops for anyone who tries to take advantage. Mix that with the loyal Stable Boy who I warrant is the child of the Innkeeper by another woman and he's taken him on more out of grudging pity than anything else and you have quite the tavern.
I think that story works right?
I like these. It is a pity that there are not more civilian sculpts out there (ok there are quite a few but some are too ‘heroic’ and others tend to be scantily clad).
I know what you mean… Theses are a nice selection – love the old maid with the ‘pin’. 😀
Hasslefree have some great Villagers. I wonder how these relate scale wise/proportionally. The old maid looks like your wouldn’t want to complain about the baking….
Nice to have more civilian options.
The old gal with the rolling pin.
Classic!
The barman was obviously an old soldier retired out of service after losing his arm to a cannonball. Used his small pension and savings to set up a bar, with enough left over to pay the local blacksmith for a bespoke can and bottle opener fitting for his wooden arm.
