History TabletopGame / RedDragonInn

* KillTheParentRaiseTheChild: [[spoiler:Serena the Pious is a TokenHeroicOrc raised as by those paladins who destroyed her village and who struggles to balance her orcish instincts with her lawful path]].

The original ''Red Dragon Inn'' characters are

Single Patron Packs:

* EvilCounterpart: The Black Dragon Depths, an underground bar the [[VillainBar bad guys seem to prefer to hang out in]]. Complete with a gorgon wench to serve the drinks. Gameplay wise, the villain characters have their own version of certain stock cards: for example, "Wench, bring some drinks for my friends" becomes "Wench, bring some drinks for these fiends".

** Spyke and Flower via an epic CrossOver from TabletopGame/Munchkin, complete with their crazy armor options and treasure boxes

* {{Expy}}: [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Dimli]] is an obvious example, so is [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Cormac the Mighty]]. And Fiona the Volatile who is based off of ComicBook/RedSonja. Keet may also qualify, his whip and attire almost making him a Goblin version of Franchise/IndianaJones.

* GenderEqualEnsemble: The core games usually come with two male and two female characters. ''Red Dragon Inn 2's'' mostly male cast was balanced back out by ''Red Dragon Inn 4's'' crew.

* GagBoobs: ''Sure'' those men are interested in your "religion," Deirdre. Eve the Illusionist also qualifies.

Made by Slugfest Games, there are seven full box sets of the game and 13 Allies or Versus expansion decks, each addition introducing new unique characters, drinks, and occassional alternative play styles and challenges. Red Dragon Inn: Battle for Grayport is a semi-separate game that focuses on an adventure for before the usual Inn games, and likewise introduces another playable character.

* BizarreBeverageUse: Some characters have a use for their ale beyond drinking it, such as Fiona using it as armor polish. There's a few cards in everyone's deck where Molly the Barmaid yells at them for "Playing with the drinks," refuting their non-drinking use, and a few "I don't think so!" cards, representing ''the character'' getting annoyed at their drinking buddies not drinking their beer.

** [[TheBeastmaster Kaylin the Renegade]], a [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Pixie]] Enchanter with a big chip on her shoulder (and [[CoolPet her moody wolf, Wulfric]])

** Samantha the Bookie, from the Scurvy Dog, the tavern where everyone's taking bets on whatever BarBrawl is going on

** Evil Pooky has cards that summons an EvilDoppelganger of other RDI character, which has two different effects for when he plays it immediately or saves it for later, which reduces his hand size by one until used.

* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: One of Tara's damaging card literally reads "Blind girl! Darts! What could possibly go wrong?"

* GargleBlaster: Look out for some of the "4 Alcohol Content" drinks ''(although ANY drink is capable of becoming this if accompanied by a chaser or two)''. Averted by water and coffee/tea, the latter of which ''reduce'' inebriation. [[spoiler: Taken UpToEleven in ''Red Dragon Inn 7'' with a '''5 Alcohol Content''' drink (previously only available through Kickstarter).]] There are also race-specific drinks that get one race drunk, and ''physically damage'' others.

** Gerki has the "Um...I know you think you won, but..." card to take the gold in the center from the winner of a Round of Gambling. [[UpToEleven Even if Gerki wasn't in the round.]]

* RantInducingSlight: Serena gets ''very'' ticked off when she finds out that the mission she was sent on, that almost got her killed by bandits, was to deliver a move in a "chess by post" game from one noblewoman to another.

* KnifeNut: Sera has a habit of either chucking her kunai at her fellow adventurers or just plain stabbing them.

** Samantha the Bookie, from the Scurvy Dog, where there's always a BarBrawl going on

** Lucky the Scoffler, owner of Lucky's Rolling Barrel, offering top-shelf booze at rock-bottom prices (if anyone asks, they fell off the back of a wagon)

** Evil Pooky has cards that summons an EvilDoppelganger of other RDI character, which either does something immediately or has two seperate effects if it's used immediately or if it's kept around for later, which reduces his hand size by one.

* MissFanservice: All the girls have their moments. Kaylin is the only one that ends up naked (albeit with a SceneryCensor), bathing in a mug of hot chocolate.
