I liked the music and dialogue, though I found little incentive to ever let the adventures survive or perform a quest for you, since then you have to pay them. As long as you have plenty of gold, I found it better to just kill or bore my heroes so I wouldn't have to pay them... kind of optimizing the fun out of the game. That being said, it is a really creative idea for a game, and fulfills the fantasy quite well! Also, at first I thought the tavern-keep was a decent guy, but then you realize he is just out for blood...
