Tavern Players as a role in the hidden-road world
These tavern player figures are useful because they make the world feel cross-populated and social. Adventurers, unusual travelers, and off-shift fighters do not vanish when they are not in the dungeon; they sit, watch, drink, and wait for rumor.
They make Via Occulta feel like a place where characters pass through ordinary rooms with history, not only map gates and battle screens.
