[@Bishop] Though I'm new to this site, I've been on plenty of other sites that hosted RPs like this, and it's really all about player interaction. Giving the player's a blank slate, like a tavern, to roam in provides opportunities for almost an infinite amount of hilarious circumstances. It's more about what the players do IN the tavern, then what the tavern does for the players. (Also, it's always good that the characters are propelled into the story by booze, right?)

Of course, everyone has their own cup of tea, so Tavern-RPing just might not be for you. That's completely fine.
