D&D General Suggestions for Rooms in an Adventurers Guild HQ

[fba827]

In my game the PCs are about to come in to the inheritance of a Adventurer's Guild Headquarters.

Because the location will feature prominently through the campaign going forward, I wanted give it some thought.....

What types of rooms should be in this headquarters?

my brainstormed list so far includes:
meeting hall/discussion room for guild matters
sleep chambers for any using it as a crash pad
weapon and armor storage
magic research area with library
foyer
meeting room to meet with clients
kitchen
dining
maybe a garden area with dead plants (the place has been seemingly abandoned for a year+)
a shrine/altar
washroom/bathroom

thoughts on something else i might be forgetting?

 

[twincast]

training/sparring area(s)
food storage (cellar)
firewood storage
tool storage with some planks and nails
possibly a dedicated infirmary
if it fits culturally, a steamroom or sauna
and having your own well would be great

A special lounge for displaying trophies collected by the guild from past requests, often materials from monsters left over from submitted catches.

A memorial room for the prominent past members of the guild staff.

A clean room for storing dead adventurers' bodies brought back from quests.

A file storage room for storing the guild's documents.

 

[Ogre Mage]

A vault, possibly secured with arcane lock.
Guildmaster's office(s)

I might consider dividing the sleeping area into barracks for general guild members and a small number of private rooms for high ranking people. Or maybe those who pay guild dues at a higher level, lol.

 

[Davies]

A museum of trophies. Nothing dangerous, but if you don't have at least one dragon skeleton and giant coin in there, I don't know what to say.

 

[Leatherhead]

Perhaps a Teleportation Circle.

Go watch the last few seasons (actually, watch all of them! ) of the "Supernatural" TV series. I just finished watching all 15 seasons...for the second time. Anyway, about half way through "the boys" find a "special bunker" that they they use. This is what I imagine an "Adventurers Guild House" to sort of 'contain'.

Possibly a set of holding cells for prisoners pending their handover to the appropriate authorities.

Most things have been said already, but adding to the excellent answers above:

• Stables (at least a few horses, potentially a lot of horses and even other (flying?) creatures)
• Messenger room - with homing pigeons or equivalent, or perhaps more arcane in nature (e.g. paper birds)
• Lab to make poisons - more or less lethal depending on the alignment of the guild

-Tavern/bar area or at least a snack bar
-Private meeting rooms (thick doors, soundproofing, possible magical warding)
-Storage vault for holding high-value items and large amounts of gold for adventurers who don't have Bags of Holding or a secure storage option.
-A few rooms for rent hotel-style
-Training salle & archery range & magical target range
-Stables, if riding is common in the setting
