Review of the Luciana Witherwood adventure in Tavern Tales, plus a highlight on helpful TTRPG tools

Tavern Tales is a D&D 5e compatible adventure setting and book that, I believe, is generally made for older kids or grown-ups, however… it does include a very kid-friendly adventure that shows how TTRPGs aimed at all-ages accessibility can be just as exciting as any other quest, AND, as a whole book, features several tools and aides to help with gameplay that I haven’t seen in many kid-focused TTRPGs but that could add quite a bit to the experience and allow several other adventures in the book to potentially be used with players ages 8+.
