I'm thinking of creating a role-play thread with the potential of it evolving into a few different threads.
Here's my idea (it may or may not work, I'd love to have some input/ ideas)

Thread One would be called 'The Tavern'

The Tavern is a place to chat to other characters- here there is the opportunity to have whatever role-play you find easiest- some 1X1 role-play, casual role-play and in-depth conversations- a fairly easy-going thread.

From this thread, other role-play threads would be created for the continuation of those tales once you have left The Tavern
Thread Two, Thread Three, Thread Four etc. The players who leave The Tavern are then in control of the following threads they create.

For example-

Thread One-

The Tavern

People come and go as they please, here you can engage in casual conversation, order drinks, sit and people watch, play games, have bar brawls, chat up men/women, kick back and relax after a hard time at work, pop in before having to face the wife or just a meeting place of friends... etc Job adverts may be involved in this area too, e.g. a captain might enter The Tavern looking for a second mate or a gunner etc.

As soon as you leave The Tavern (Thread One) and explore the characters/adventures further it would be moved into another thread (Thread Two)

Thread Two-

Tavern Tales, a pirates adventure

Those that have been involved in the Tavern thread who might want to go on an adventure- sailing, setting up a life within the town/port.

Once you have finished your RP in Thread Two, Three, Four etc (obviously you can continue as long as you wish in that thread if you want to) you have a choice of going back to the Tavern with that character or creating a new character to visit The Tavern etc

Hopefully that all makes sense!

I welcome any input people might have on this, I'm open to different ideas! I can give more clarification on how it would work etc if you need me to- feel free to either post questions on here or PM me!

(The main point of this is that people can experiment with different characters without too much pressure of committing to a full length role-play, you could create a brash black-smith who comes in for a drink and then leaves, you can then re-enter with a shy sailor- the possibilities are endless)

Just an idea I had that I would love to see come to life and I feel like it could suit different styles of Role-play...

Ooh! I like th is idea!

I'd be interested

Thanks for the interest guys, which forum do we think the main 'Tavern' Thread should be placed? I'm thinking maybe place it in the casual RP section and then place the resulting threads in whichever section the GM wants them to be in?

Sounds like a plan. I would have suggested casual too

Awesome :)

I shall start to begin writing a post to welcome everyone to The Tavern! More than likely, it will be up by tomorrow...

With it being a tavern I assume that means it is going to be midieval themed?

Yeah sort of oldey timey I know that's fairly vague but I have the images in my head of: horses and carts, no modern technology, pirates, farms, ports open to trade, a royal navy of some sort, clothing similar to that of Pirates of the Caribbean, different status's etc...

I'm thinking it should be an ambiguous time-scale and place- so as not to have to worry too much about including facts etc about real life history?



I think the easiest reference for what I'm thinking of would be Anglo-Saxon times possibly?
Similar to the visual aspects/ clothing from Game of Thrones, The Enchanted Forest in Once Upon a Time, The Elder Scrolls, Fable etc...

I hope that gives enough reference of the type of setting and time I'm going for?

I'm also open to different races/beings/classes/species etc being included just let me know in this thread what sort of species etc you'd like to see included and I'll do my best to include everyone!

@Twisted8 as far as races go, are familiar with dnd 3.5 elands at all?

@squints Not at all I'm afraid, I was simply going to provide a basic list of races (with the potential to add in other races if people want more of a variety) and have people choose which race they would like to be- filling in a character sheet so we can keep track of who is who :)

As with any rule of roleplay I don't want to see any character be a 'Mary Sue' as it were, in general I like to see people play fairly and within the means of their character. Does that make sense? Proper guidelines surrounding the RP will be posted accordingly :)

Tabletop style RP is welcome to be used within the Threads that come away from the main one 'Thread Two etc' but it won't be used within the main 'Tavern' Thread.

Any suggestions for races here would be most welcome!

So is this still happening? Also if it does, does anyone involved want a hireling?

Not sure if this is still going on but if it is I'm very interested.
