It’s tomorrow!

One day until TAVERN TALE is out in the world.

This one could be many answers. Let me know if you got it! (Scroll to bottom for the answer or swipe)

Guess the video game reference.

To count down the days until Tavern Tale releases I’m revealing a video game Easter egg each day from the book. They could be moments, dialog, and just…vibes. Play along and guess.

Tavern Tale is a sapphic fantasy romance adventure! Inspired by RPGs like Final Fantasy, Skyrim, and DragonAge.

Divine is chasing her Talisman and her missing magic when she meets the flirty bartender Saph. Saph will help Divine if she helps her with a quest in a chest.

ANSWER: Everquest2 loot drops! I can hear the sound of damage from not waiting for a scout to disarm the trap (and many other games including chests found all of the worlds in almost all the Final Fantasy games).

Tavern Tale has a card game that’s an in-world Ttrpg that I’d love to make real one day. It’s a little like Settlers of Catan

You’ve heard of only-one-bed trope but have you heard of “I think a bird is following me” or “let me axe you a question”. Here are some completely not made up tropes from my sapphic fantasy romance book Tavern Tale.

inspired by RPGs and is set in cozy autumn. Divine is chasing her Talisman and her missing magic when she meets the flirty bartender Saph. Saph will help Divine if she helps her with a quest in a chest. Like Legends and Lattes with higher stakes, multiple non-human races, a ton of gods and goddesses as the source of magic, and plenty of DND and side quest vibes. Plus…romance.
