I joined It’s the Beer Walking in Leeds — a fun mix of history, stories, and seriously good beer, led by Simon Jenkins and Nicky Massen. We started at the University of Leeds, hearing about everything from Tolkien’s time there to the city’s industrial roots. Along the way we stopped at proper Leeds pubs like the Pack Horse and the Fenton for a few great pints, including some from Kirkstall and Northern Monk.

I spent the day exploring Southport’s best micropubs and traditional locals, each with its own character and charm. I started at The Beer Den, a cosy spot with great ales, then wandered to The Barrel House in Birkdale — small but buzzing.

I popped into two cracking Lincolnshire micropubs that mix history with proper community spirit.

This is a decent siege encounter that can be placed basically anywhere as long as you have a wall-encosed location with few soldiers except the PCs. As written, it was prompted by a chance encounter with a Kvaner host when returning to the place that is now the PCs base of operations - hence the strong assumptions about timing and intent. In most other cases, you shouldn't preclude the options of parlaying, surrendering, etc. However, you can probably still use this encounter as a blueprint f...| Triple Suns

Yet, the thick oak door was locked and barred for monsters, and wildmen should be loathe to approach the church even at night. In desperation, their abbot turn to the PCs...| Triple Suns
