Darkxarth, don't forget to place in the Tavern somewhere a "signature item."  Or if you did, and I missed it somehow, maybe mention in your write-up somewhere?

Ah, it's the Mud Brew.  I'll make it more obvious in my post though.

Would an outer plane, say Pandemonium be acceptable?

If you mean to place your tavern or event in, then yes.

This isn't an entry, but for fun you can look at this post (http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?23087.post) on the Tower Inn. There's a few other interesting things on that thread too.

I think I may have a comedy entry brewing in the gray matter.

Oh, I have to enter this contest. I'll get started on an entry ASAP.

PS: I like the twin challenge of putting in both originality and genericness into the same Inn - two things which are very important in a contest like this.

Hmmm... gotta be odd and post the only scifi concept: A cross between an automat and an internet cafe. To work!

Everything I think of winds up sounding like the Floating Vagabond.  There are, however, differences between cross-gen and generic settings.  To the extent that the Floating Vagabond was a setting and not just a bunch of joke books, it was certainly cross-gen.  Trying for generic, here... let's see what I can manage.

I'm really enjoying creating a tavern that is both original and generic.  It's a little counter-intuitive.

I'm relatively sure I explained both of those terms accurately in regards to this contest ;)

Yes yes, in terms of the contest you defined them in ways that makes them easy to seperate.

Nonetheless, putting Originality and Genericness in the criteria is rather funny.

You mentioned that it could either be a fantasy or science fiction tavern.  Would a "modern" (à la d20 Modern) tavern be acceptable?

Yes, limetom

Why did you close it?  Don't we have until tomorrow night?  I don't know if I'll get my entry done, but I'd like to have the opportunity.  Sorry if I misunderstood, I just thought the contest ended tomorrow night, Sunday night.

It's Midnight, Sunday, May 27, which was 12:00 AM this morning.  :-/  Since there was a misunderstanding on the time, if you get it to me by midnight EST (9:00 PM PST), which is fifteen hours from now, I'll put it in.  That goes for anyone that may have misunderstood.

In the future, I'll make sure to make the time a bit clearer.
