Elminster's Excellent Establishments

A complete collection of 20 stupendous shops and their proprietors for the world's greatest roleplaying game

Coming to the Dungeon Master's Guild this July

If you're anything like us, your players like to ask for the kind of details that Dungeons & Dragons normally abstracts away. What's for dinner in the inn? What do they sell over at the Herbalist's Shop? This supplement is for those Dungeon Masters that want to have answers to these types of questions locked and loaded.

Rooted in the Realms

Every shop has its place in the world. With each of the establishments, you'll find a table of quest seeds that help tie it into the world of the Forgotten Realms.

Plug & play

Elminster's Excellent Establishments is designed for DM usability. When your players unexpectedly decide to visit a town, leaf through the book, pick a store and use it right away.

If you sign up to be notified of our launch, you are entered into a giveaway. When we launch, we will be giving away a free printed copy of Elminster's Excellent Establishments, as well as a few digital copies! We'll also send you a free map pack right away, to make up for the wait.

Zephyr

If you're looking to buy a young or trained griffon, The Aerie Court in Furthinghome is really the only place to do so. Zephyr might not be the nicest guy in the world, but he sure knows how to train a griffon!

What people say

As a game designer and Dungeon Master I found Elminster’s Excellent Establishment entirely inspirational to bring my world to life. From NPCs with detailed roleplaying tips, to price lists to help DMs bring shops to life, this product is a must buy!

Anthony Joyce-Rivera

There's always a need for shops in my games and this book fills that void excellently. Quality work, from quality creators!

Anne Gregersen

More than just a collection of taverns or common supplies shops, Elminster's Excellent Establishments gives you unusual opportunities to engage your players with unexpected NPCs, items, and adventure hooks.

Bianca Bickford

This is a wonderful collection of fascinating locations and even includes NPCs and plot hooks! This will be a fantastic addition to my games when I want to send my players to an interesting new place with plenty to see and do.

Elminster’s Excellent Establishments is a solid collection of drop-in establishments for any campaign, and provides example generic locations as well as concrete locations within Faerûn for each business. The pages of this tome are filled with inspirational content and features interesting NPCs, cool wares and services, plus “drama” to delight any adventuring party. Notes from Elminster himself add a charming touch to a most excellent publication.
