Keep the tavern standing.

The Ol' Innkeeper runs Protect the Tavern, a persistent Discord game. Players earn kopeks, raise walls and troops, walk out on solo quests, and fight together when the monster army reaches the town.

Add to Discord See the commands

The invite asks for View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links, Read Message History, Use External Emoji, Manage Messages, and Pin Messages, plus the slash-command scope. Manage Messages and Pin Messages let the bot pin the help menu in #the-tavern.

What you can do

Co-op town defense

Walls, troops, and traps belong to the whole server. When monsters attack, players spend a battle turn hitting the same army.

Quests

Leave town for a two-part adventure: monsters, locked chests, mazes, riddles, mysteries, hard choices, and the occasional dragon.

Economy

Kopeks sit in a wallet or a bank. Daily pay, work, trade, and the shop all use the same purse. Banked coins are safer when the walls fall.

Skills

Gather, fish, hunt, craft, and work on cooldowns. Spend kopeks to raise those skills, and roll a character with strength, wits, and the rest.

Gambling

Blackjack, five-card poker, roulette, slots, and craps. The house is the tavern, and the stakes are kopeks.

PvP

Rob, duel, and the less polite jobs between players. Gear, feats, and a death cooldown decide how long you stay down.

How to play

After the bot is in your server, use slash commands in #the-tavern. Other channels only get a private note pointing you there. A member with Manage Server can run /pinhelp to pin this menu in that channel. A good first hour:

Run /daily for a pouch of kopeks, then /balance.
Open /profile and look over your stats, skills, and feats.
Use /protect to buy walls, troops, or traps. /showmap shows the town.
Bank what you want to keep with /bank. Wallet coins are the ones robbers and raids can reach.
When you want a story, use /quest. During an invasion, /attack spends your turn.
