For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

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?

This isn't an entry, but for fun you can look at this post on the Tower Inn. There's a few other interesting things on that thread too.

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.

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.

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?
