All notable changes to TGS Tavern Pack are documented here.
## [1.9.22] - 2026-09-25
Initial release. Ships as a separate addon (dependency: TheGatheringStone) and registers four solo-friendly table games via `GS.Games:RegisterExternal`. Disabling the pack removes the games cleanly; the core addon is untouched.
### Added
* **The Crooked Cup** — Liar's Dice vs Razzik Lucky Geargrin: wild aces, strictly-raising bids, LIAR! challenges that cost a die, first to lose all five dice loses the match. Razzik bids against believability but bluffs ~22% of the time.
* **Cutthroat Twenty-One** — pirate blackjack vs Admiral Catastrophie (guild master of the Blackwake Armada): 100-doubloon purse, adjustable wagers, 3:2 natural payout, dealer stands on 17, and the Armada stakes broke sailors a loan it *always* collects.
* **Alehouse Shuffle** — shell game vs the Barkeep: coin under one of three tankards, peek phase, then 6+ animated swaps that grow faster and more numerous on win streaks.
* **Two True, One Brew** — rotating storytellers (Borin, Barkeep, Thragar, Valeera, Katalyst) each present three lore statements from a 59-statement bank; spot the lie to build a streak.
* Added Admiral Catastrophie to the host NPC registry with a custom portrait and a gravel "ADMIRAL" voice profile.
* Added a shared tavern UI system matching the host addon's look: 760x560 framed shell with title bar and divider, 96px framed NPC portraits with name headers, warm dark paneling, bronze-gold borders, felt table surfaces, styled buttons with hover/disabled states, drawn pip dice, card tiles with readable backs, and bordered scrolling logs.
* Added personality-tailored dialogue for every pack NPC, matching the documented character voices: Razzik's card-sharp patter, the Admiral's undead-warlock-admiral menace, the Barkeep's gruff proprietor scolding, and per-teller voices for Borin (brewing metaphors), Thragar (martial bluntness), Valeera (sly observation), and Katalyst (clinical precision).
* Added statistics integration: pack games record plays and results into `GS.Statistics` so they count toward the champion board.
### Fixed
* Fixed `CreateFrame` template usage for the 12.0 client (`BackdropTemplate`, not the retired `BackdropTemplateMixin`) which blocked all pack games from opening.
* Fixed card suit colors rendering as literal text (missing `|c` escape prefix).
* Fixed the duplicate NPC dialogue toast appearing above pack game windows (pack `Say` no longer emits `GS_NPC_REACTION` to the host ambience layer).
* Fixed layout collisions after enlarging the dialogue strip (controls/log overlap in Crooked Cup, score/button crowding in Alehouse Shuffle).
* Fixed swapped dealer commentary tones when dice are lost (Razzik now gloats when the player loses a die and grumbles when he does).
