The first resident of the new setting, aside from Siani, is in; Sabbah has a place in the Souq area. I should note that many of the buildings there will house more than one family or business. I have labeled the place taken with her name. So yes, you don't have to wait for it to go live to...

If any of you would like a look at Arena Island and The Souq as they are at the moment...nearly done I think...you may go here: Setting_Maps Siani

Update: I've managed to complete testbed maps for the Souq & Tavern complex, showing part of the Garden, as well as the Arena on its own island. I should have the final versions of them complete in a few days. Room descriptions and general setting information will also be ready to go, along...

Semi-Final New Tavern Setting Rules Here are the semi-final new rules for the Tavern. They will not take effect until certain other changes are made to the chat. THEY ARE NOT YET IN EFFECT! Please abide by the current rules for a while longer. 1) No fighting outside of the Arena. A shove or...

Update After a bit more thought and some off-board input I've tweaked rule 3; no steampunk, at least not at this time. I'm still considering the firearms aspect in rule 4. 1) No fighting outside of the Arena. A shove or two, a punch here and there, these are fine...see below. The Arena is for...

Tentative CRT Setting Rules Annnnd the thing most folk are concerned with; the Setting Rules...in the state they are currently in. Firstly...the only 'commoners' in the Land of Visions at this point are those who work for or who have gained permission from Siani to live there...and the...

General layout would have the harbor where the river empties into the bay. A wide road leads up past the Caravanserai and into The Souk. From the Souk smaller roads, lanes and alleys radiate out between shops, homes, and stalls. In the center of the Souk is a very large fountain of tiers...all...

Portals. At the moment I have them working like this... Anyone who is a patron of the tavern knows it exists and generally where it is..the name of the place..thinking of that as one's destination triggers an appropriate portal for however one is arriving...in the harbor if by ship or swimming...

As an addendum to the previous post I made: I haven't named the setting, that is the archipelago as of yet. From an environmental standpoint, bearing in mind the entire place is being created by Siani, the area would most closely resemble Costa Rica...in that it would have a bit of just about...

All righty. Here's what I'm tinkering with at the moment. The Tavern and all of Siani's holdings, and any patron home/business etc that wants it, is set on a large island..quite large..with a river running near the Tavern proper. The Garden is across the river, reached by a bridge. The river...

Reigning it in All right. I know people are excited...so am I. But I have to put the brakes on a bit here because this is not going to be a fast change; it takes a very great deal of work to do and time..and I don't get paid for this so it gets put in wherever a bit of free time happens along...

I've had some very good input, here and in the Nexus as well. I do wish to make it clear that I am listening to the ideas people are giving me, that I understand the fond memories of the (wide variety) of golden years versions of the Tavern from days of yore, and that I am going to attempt to...

Raj..you're a gem at times. Thank you. More ideas coming soon guys. Patience please. Siani

Thanks for the input! :) As I say, nothing is set in stone at this point. I'm still entertaining all sorts of notions.

Given the types and numbers of supposed familiars who used to come into the Tavern with no sign of their supposed masters, and often the havoc caused I chose to allow them only if their master were present and then only if of reasonable size. Ditto regular animals. There used to be this mouse...

Well, it isn't likely to become totally open and interdimensional in nature, partly because I like multiple settings with different character, but also because some folk like a place where at least a modicum of sense reigns on what is going on around them. I said I had considered it, not that I...

*points at the word 'Possible' in the subject line* As you wish: Old Version: 2) Demons, Devils, and Outsiders in general must be disguised to some extent. Disguised is defined such that anyone looking at such a character would see something recognizably humanoid in shape. New Version: 2)...

Thoughts? Ideas? Misgivings? Let's hear 'em. 1) Firearms of the muzzleloading black powder variety (i.e Flintlock, Wheelock, and Percussion Cap) are allowed to be carried but use of them in the Tavern or the Garden is expressly forbidden. Use in the Clearing is up to the parties involved. 2)...

Changes coming Greetings I've been away a lot obviously, but I've also had some time to think about a number of things. The result is that some changes will be coming to the Tavern Setting rules in the near future. I won't go into details yet, but I don't think most folk will have a problem...

The Greyhawk Setting Rules will not change. No exceptions for 4e. There are no plans to produce any more material for Greyhawk so in effect it is in stasis, which suits me fine. I absolutely detest 4e and that will do on that subject. Siani does like getting B wet, naturally. I believe she's...
