The Innkeeper’s Ledger is a generic role playing game supplement written and published by Seryndor Adventures.
The supplement is available as a ten-page PDF from DriveThruRPG for $1.49 but was purchased at a reduced price thanks to a special offer. One page is the front cover.
The Introduction explains that this supplement is designed to create inns, taverns and roadside stops with little preparation.

The Innkeeper’s Ledger in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, has enough sections that these would have been useful. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are no illustrations. Presentation is okay.
This is a generally useful set of tables that can be used to flesh an inn out. Though some of them are intended to help create the inn, the majority could be useful with an existing one to make it more interesting. The Innkeeper’s Ledger can be found by clicking here.
