[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 5396742, member: 3887"] Bars are good! Here are some from my CITY campaign, written in the style of an in-setting travel guide (the sad thing is, this wasn't even a player handout, this is from the notes I was writing for myself). _________________________________________ --excerpted from ”A Rough Guide to CITY”, CITY Life Press, Gallina:CITY, Monopolis Standard Year 294 [B]Cafe Limbo[/B], 117 South Spider St. (at Limbo Plaza), Saltbend, Eris:CITY A large, partially open-air bar and restaurant made from a hodgepodge of different building materials in Eris's trendy Saltbend District, near the Grand Canal. The Cafe was opened by a wealthy priest of the Dreamer Out of Time and reputedly came to him in a vision. Famed for its coffee, small plates, availability of drugs, and collection of exquisitely-crafted board games, which include chess, non-Euclidean chess, and go. [B]The Nance and Prattle[/B], 2201 Blvd. of the Blameless, Mid-Tier, Eris:CITY A charming 3-story wood and wattle tavern in Eris's historic Mid-Tier District. The unofficial headquarters of the Order of the Lovesworn, the heartbroken knights doomed never to know true love again who devote themselves to reuniting lost lovers. Any night of the week you'll find the enormous --but enormously fashionable-- Master of the Lovesworn, Thum Gussett, holding court surrounded by some of the most attractive young men in CITY. Lord Gussett is a virtual treasure-trove of gossip, humor, and heartache. [B]Swift Tongue on Salt[/B], 669 Opal St. (in Little Wu Plaza), Little Ajakhan, Narayan:CITY A rough-and-tumble bar known for its exclusively male clientele, where artists, dockworkers, exotic Ajakhani sailors and scholars from the University meet and mingle in smoky anonymity. The Lord of the Lovesworn, Thum Gussett, is said to be an occasional visitor. [B]Stiltjackets[/B] 99 Quai Central, Quaiside, Narayan:CITY Even though its sits over 500 paces back from the harbor on solid flagstones, the puzzling Stiltjackets was built up on 15ft poles by its famously greedy (and hydrophobic) owner Palomar Guise. Stiltjackets is known for its casino and as a nightspot, where "everyone sees you enter but no-one sees you leave". Stiltjackets requires formal attire, and does not offer a full menu. [B]The Room Rouge[/B], 2525 Opium Way, Redlights, Narayan:CITY A bar and dinner-theatre venue in a rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood. The Room Rouge, despite its frequent --and frequently good-- dramatic performances, remains a little taste of the old Red Light District, seeing as its the headquarters for a group of brutal-yet-dandyish thieves known as the Room Rouge Players, led by the gentleman and stone-cold killer, Jack Fancy, Esquire.
