Now, taking the theory you've shown us and applying it should allow us to use our imagination and make a good tavern. But for guys like me who really admire your work and want to see what your interpretation would be, I'd like to see a video at some point of a tavern, a pub, an inn, etc. With a bar and alcohol bottles and bedrooms and etc. Somewhere for our adventurers to rest, find gossip, and get hammered on Orc Blood Ale.
The main problem I'm having with my crafting practice right now is making good furniture. Making convincing tables and chairs hasn't been hard for me, but everything else is escaping me for the most part right now. I've only been crafting for a week, so I'm sure practice will make perfect.
So, there's my request. Love what you do man.

Not Scotty's, but there's a pretty good tutorial for a tavern floor.

what i like the most about chairs and tables in tutorials is how much the chair end up at the same height as the table 8)
aside from that... yeah i wish DMG had made the actual tavern when he did his "under the tavern" module. and if he actually did, why didn't he show it to us yet ?
as my mother would say to you scotty... take your time, but do it fast !

Because if I showed you the tavern, then everyone would be demanding a tutorial... My above ground stuff will be quite... different

Not Scotty's, but there's a pretty good tutorial for a tavern floor. Niiice. That's pretty much how I did it for the little meeting hall I built. But I used cardboard instead, just cut along about halfway through it and then did little cross cuts to make it seem like there were boards meeting one another. It looks MUCH better using the foamboard, though.

Cardboard is good for a lot of things, but you aren't going to get something very sturdy with single layer as you would with foam core for this, especially with different directional cuts. Also with this sort of thing, treat it as the 2.5D Next. It's a very workable mat for longer term use with slight upgrades, and you might want a second one that is more carefully done as a better maintained/upper class flooring. Basically, for the upgrade to a more durable one, either give it a layer of glue like Scotty has to several of his creations or hit it with a layer of matte varnish.

I'm very new to all of this crafting things for D&D/RPGs, and haven't yet done much of the crafting besides some basic tiles that I haven't painted yet, so I'm not expert like DMG and/or DMScotty... but I have a large box of "craft sticks/Lollipop sticks", and I don't know why I wouldn't be able to try and make a floor made out of them for my Tavern/Inn. If anyone does make a good tavern before I get around to trying, I would greatly like to see what everyone does for it. Besides that, if it is a stone building I don't know why a normal room tile of the right size wouldn't also work, just by adding the table/chairs, barrels of Dwarven Ales, any room can become a tavern.

i can tell you why people dont use them. i tryed it already, was making my flip tiles with those sticks. and i cna tell you this much... it takes like 5 times more time to do then using foamboards or cutting thru cardstock. thats why most people dont do it with craftsticks. that said if you want more realism then craftsticks are the way to go. they old up much more details of real wood.
but in retrospect if i had to redo my flip tiles... i'd definitely ditch the craft sticks.
