Back to the Inn

Ever since we had kids my family has not left home on Christmas. We don't travel to the various parents (all local), we make them come to us.  In return we usually do dinner for a couple sets of them. (We have more than our share)

For some reason my wife and I decide that this year our Christmas dinner should be a medieval feast.  I think the thought process was, "let's do game hens ... hey, what about buying tankards and daggers and calling it a medieval feast!"  We're like that. Given the bounty of good fresh and dried fruits, vegetables, meats, drinks and such it was probably more of a fantasy feast that an adventuring party may order up with some of the haul from the latest dungeon delve.

I found some very cheap daggers (what I found were actually $1.75 ... sadly I had to pay shipping on EACH one. Still cheap), a set of wooden plates, and I scored a great eBay purchase on some glass bottomed pewter tankards.  Add piles of food and a carcass each and it was probably the best Christmas dinner since the pagans were converted.

The best part was that we didn't even warn anyone.  When it was time to eat we just sat everyone down ... "Here's your dagger ... throw me a sweet roll!"  I am looking forward to incorporating this into a gaming session.
